In February, a couple in their late 20s used a room with an open-air bath.The facilities as a whole were old, but tasteful and well-maintained, and the staff were all warm and gave me a nostalgic feeling, like I was visiting my grandfather's house. All the rice is delicious.The open-air bath in the guest room didn't have much hot water for the shower since it was February, but the bath was piping hot and we had a relaxing time adjusting the temperature ourselves.It was a wonderful place to relax and relax. I would like to stay there again if I have the chance.

This is an inn with a decent number of rooms.When I entered, I could smell the smell of an old building. It took some time for my nose to get used to it.The room was spacious and Japanese-style tea sweets were prepared, along with two commercially available Bourbon Alfort cookies.The room was divided into 3 rooms and was spacious, but the bath was neither too small nor too large.Since the open-air bath can only be used at night, I thought it would be crowded to take a bath in the morning, so when I went there after 5:30, there was no one there. I'm glad I didn't have it.It was a hot spring that warmed your body from the core.The morning and evening meals were delicious.The white rice was locally grown Koshihikari rice, and even though the rice was small in size, it had a strong flavor.However, since there was no menu for dinner, I was wondering how many more items would be served, and I was drinking alcohol while I was there, so I think it would be convenient.Also, during dinner in the large hall, there was a tag on the desk with the room name and last name written on it, but I got the name wrong.For example, the way Yamaguchi makes mistakes even though it's Yamada.The person serving the table has a different name, but the name of the room matches, so this seat is fine, right? When I checked with him, he didn't apologize and just said it was okay.I couldn't help but laugh bitterly at the rudeness of getting the name wrong.The next morning, the name was still incorrect.During dinner and breakfast, they laid out the futon and cleaned it up for me, but if you were to clean up the futon while I was gone, I would appreciate it if you let me know by writing a note on the table in your room.I stay at various inns, but I was a little surprised because there are very few where you can clean up before checking out.I don't think I will visit again.
