I stayed without meals, so I don't know about the food, but it was a very clean guesthouse. I used this inn for a road bike tournament, but if I can participate in next year's tournament, I would like to use this inn.

It's been a while since I last stayed here, but other than the fact that I couldn't get in in the morning, it's a nice inn. 😊

It was a very clean guesthouse, and the quality of the hot springs was good, making my skin smooth. The spacious tatami dining room is the perfect place to relax and enjoy exquisite cuisine! Above all, it is run by a cheerful and wonderful couple, so I want to go there again and again ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I always come here when I'm on a business trip.The food is delicious and the hot springs are nice.I go outside once to take a bath. I feel so good when I get out of the bath.The kind landlady's eyes are once again astounding.At night, you fight stink bugs and ladybugs. On the second day, we secured 12 stink bugs and 8 ladybugs.

The accommodation cost was reasonable even during the holidays. Dinner wasn't particularly luxurious, and I'm sure there are some picky eaters, but it was enough to fill me up. The miso soup was delicious, and the pork soup was delicious. Grilled foil and small bowls are also available. The baths are open until 9:30 pm, so I thought it would be a good idea to stay a little later. The heating in the drying room was on, so it was dry enough.

This is a hot spring guesthouse that you can easily use. The food is also quite extensive. I think it's perfect for family trips and ski camps.

I used it for an overnight stay.The price is very reasonable at 3,500 yen for adults.Although it is a guesthouse, it is equipped with a microwave and water heater, so you can enjoy hot tea in your room.There was also a yukata.You will be provided with toothbrushes and mini towels, but you will need to bring your own bath towels.What impressed me was that the shampoo and conditioner in the women's bath was Pantene!What's more, Biore also has a face wash that doubles as a makeup remover!It's kind of a hassle to bring it from home...My hair gets dry when I use the provided one...However, thanks to the wonderful arrangements of the host, I didn't have this problem at all (*^^*)thank you very much! I just want to say thank you.Although the inn is old, the room was very clean and I slept comfortably.The walls are thin, so I can hear my neighbors' conversations clearly...I respect stink bugs ( ´艸｀)There were so many ladybugs and it was so cute ( ´艸｀)I'm already used to it.
