25 people from 6 families used it during the summer season.Because it's in the woods, there are a lot of insects, and when we arrived there were a lot of horseflies and wasps on the car.The hotel staff told me that when I turned off the engine, the horseflies disappeared naturally, but they still attack me from time to time lol.The interior is clean, with a large living room and separate sleeping rooms. Each sleeping room had its own toilet and sink.The toilet was clean with a washlet, and there were two baths with hot springs!The bath was a beautiful hot spring that was open 24 hours a day.We had a barbecue for dinner, but there were insects and grass in the garden, so we decided to have it on the balcony. The space was large enough for 5.6 adults, and we rented a paid stove to grill meat and other items, and the children and girls ate indoors.We have dishes, rice cookers, cooking utensils, refrigerators, etc., but please be sure to check as there may not be enough chopsticks and cups.There was only an air conditioner in the living room on the first floor, so I thought it would be hot, but it was cool at night.I ate breakfast at the hotel's buffet, but it was very disappointing considering it cost 1,650 yen for adults, 1,320 yen for children, and 1,100 yen for infants. I thought it would be cruel to feed a toddler, and the food wasn't particularly delicious, and it was a breakfast buffet you could find anywhere, so it was expensive.We decided to have breakfast at the hotel's buffet to make it more convenient, but we regretted it and thought it would have been better to make it ourselves.

very beautiful!Even though it is a lodge, the hot springs are authentic!It has 2 pieces so you can separate it for men and women.There are 6 Western-style rooms and 2 Japanese-style rooms.All rooms have a toilet.Both the bed and the room are very clean.All restrooms have washlets.Tableware can also be rented.You can use the kitchen and refrigerator/freezer.You can also have BBQ.There are fewer insects.It looks like they are carefully disinfecting to prevent stink bugs from appearing.It was so good that I would like to use it again! !

It was much better than I expected!I thought it would look a little old looking from the Airbnb photos, but it's absolutely beautiful.It's very convenient that each room has a sink and toilet! !It seems that it used to be an annex to the hotel, so I felt safe that the hotel staff would be there to handle any inquiries from check-in to any issues that may arise.If you would like to add any additional points you would like・One of the washing machines was broken, so I would be happy if I could use another one.・It would be nice if there was also a dryer.・I want something like a hanger rack to dry clothes etc. (One towel bar is not enough)・It is a pity that there is no WiFi environment・Because it is spacious, it is expensive unless used by a large number of people.Although it was a cold and snowy time in January, there were many kerosene stoves, so it was warm and comfortable overall.Another great point was that you could also use Sunbird Hotel's guest benefits!(Use of public bath, towel rental, ski resort lift and rental discounts, etc.)The hot spring water is always flowing in the bath, so it feels like a private bath and is luxurious!Although it was compact with three washing areas, it was very warm.It's a shame that cold water inevitably collects in the deep part of the bottom, but we were able to mix it up or remove it and refill it to our liking.The temperature of the hot spring water itself is 40℃, so it is not lukewarm.There was a certain amount of tableware, cooking utensils, pots, etc., and the refrigerator and freezer were large and easy to use.Personally, I wanted a rice measuring cup. Measured using a brought-in scale. Large rice cooker is 6 cups or moreThere are no seasonings, so bring everything with you.Supermarkets and convenience stores were far away, so shopping in advance was essential.Looking at the photo, the only parking space is downstairs, and you have to climb a long staircase to get to the building...? I was worried, but there was plenty of room for about 4 cars to be parked right next to the building.The side road is a steep slope, so be careful as some cars may not be able to climb it during the snowy season.

Each building can be reserved for one group, so you can use it without any hesitation. The downside is that the hot springs are lukewarm in the winter.
