It was the Showa era, and I think it was very lively at that time, with the atmosphere of a guesthouse.When I think about it, it's quite nostalgic and a nice place.It's clean, but if you don't mind the squeaky floors and doors, the basic things like a water heater and toilet seat are provided, and the bath was refreshing.Basically, the food that tastes like this place, the conversations with people who enjoy traveling, the warm hospitality of the manager and staff, and it's truly youthful!Youth with a souvenir of their hearts, enjoy the land of Karakuwa.I could feel that the staff were making efforts to improve little by little.The manager is also a good person.

This is the first time I've seen such garbage.|Even though it's midsummer, there are no air conditioners in the rooms and I can't connect to Wi-Fi in the rooms. …

This is an inn that I would like to visit again! Thanks to your support, I was able to successfully complete my subsequent bike trip around Japan!

I went on a tour in September 2006.Even though we arrived much later than planned, we were warmly welcomed, and since we were the only guests staying, the owner informed us that they were closed for the day!I also have fond memories of bringing out my treasured shochu and having a great time drinking.Above all, the fish is delicious!I went there in September, so the swordfish was delicious.

The prices are low, the food is delicious, and above all, the quality of the tourists is high. Youth hostels are a little different from guesthouses and hotels. This area is also a great hidden spot for trekking and walking, so please take your time.

We stayed here because it was near a scenic spot called Kyokama Hanzo, a large rock that juts out into the sea. It was a little far away, but since I was sightseeing, it was worth staying here as it was within walking distance while enjoying the country roads. The price was reasonable and they gave us a room that was bigger than the one we had booked because it was empty.
