I spent the night on my bike in the rain. I was able to borrow a washing machine. The toilet is clean. Food and hot springs are good.

I used it when going to Oze Iwakura.The historical inn! That's what it feels like.However, it is kept clean.From the entrance to the guest room, it was so comfortable that it felt like I was staying at a relative's house, and the hospitality of the food was amazing.Hot springs with hot water and cold water flowing directly from the source are also extremely effective!The next morning I had no muscle pain and my skin was beautiful. thank you

During Golden Week, all the inns were full or prices were going up, but luckily there was space for me, my daughter, and 3 friends, so I made a reservation 4 days in advance. The plan was also very cheap. When we arrived, the parking lot in front of us was full, but the hostess kindly showed us where to park above and helped us carry our luggage. Although the plan included dinner, my daughter (1 year old) was provided with a serving plate, small fork, and spoon for free, and she brought out refills of rice and cold water for my daughter in a timely manner. My daughter hates baths and would cry, but the bath was private and I hadn't been to a hot spring in a long time, so it was great! My skin is now smooth 😊 The room was clean and there was WiFi, and every time I passed each other in the hallway, everyone at the hostel was smiling and I felt very calm, as if my grandchild had gone to grandma's house ☺️ I even got a discount coupon for ice cream on the way home. I'm very satisfied! I will go again 😊

Stayed for one night on the way back from Marunuma Kogen Ski Resort. Anyway, the food was amazing and I was very satisfied with both the taste and quantity. I think it's okay at this price. The facilities weren't new, but they were well-maintained and clean, so I didn't have any particular concerns. Customer service is also kind.

I used it to go to Ozegahara. Conveniently located near Togura Daiichi Parking Lot. The rooms and other facilities are old, but the accommodation fee is cheap so it's enough. The downside is that the bathroom is very small. The women's bath has two washing areas, and it interferes with the entrance, so if you spend time with other customers, you won't feel at ease at all. It would probably be a good idea to change the time, but there are many people coming back from a walk in Ozegahara, and everyone wants to work up a sweat quickly, so they tend to overlap.Other than the bath, both the host and the landlady were kind and nice. The rice was also delicious.

I used it to go to Oze Iwakura Ski Resort. Thank you very much for your kind support in various areas including the sudden change in the number of people.The grilled rainbow trout and the amount of salt were very delicious. The hot spring water is soft and seems to last forever. The charter was also good.

Thank you for staying with us for 2 nights and 3 days, the night before and the day of our trip to Oze. The people at the inn were very kind and I'm glad I chose this inn ^_^ The food was delicious and there was a wide variety of items, so I was very satisfied! Also, the hot spring bath is the best! The hot water is as thick as lotion and I bathed in it 4 times during my stay.

The dinner is delicious and the portions are large. The hot springs are available 24 hours a day. You can park temporarily in the parking lot. There are not many rooms and it is quiet.
