The reviews on Google maps were good.Due to its popularity, it is difficult to get a reservation.I was deceived.First, go down from the parking lot to the entrance.The stone steps are quite steepIt is dangerous for the elderly.Are you concerned about the scenery? There are no handrails.The accommodation is an old house used as an inn,I was surprised because it is quite old.First of all, the door to the room is fusuma.And there are no keys.I think it's okay because I only take two classes a day.I'm sure you're saying this, but is it really insensitive?There's no key to the bathroom either.There is no distinction between men's baths and women's baths.Use one bath in turn.When you enter, hang up the tag indicating that you are taking a bath.I don't have the key, soIt's a mistake to just use the hanging tag while taking a bath.Even if they come in, nothing will happen.The bathtub is a small cypress bath.When I was in my room, I heard the sound of rain outside.I wonder why because it's ursine? I thoughtWhen you open the shoji door, there is a verandah.Just like that, it's right in the garden.In short, it is connected to the outside through a single shoji screen.I'm careless and disgusting, so I'll do something about it.Shouldn't it? When I looked to the sideThere was a door pocket for the shutter, so I installed the shutter.I closed it myself.This is old, so it's hard and doesn't move well.It was difficult.In hindsight, I wish the employeesI wish I had done that...They laid out a futon for me while I was eating, soIf only you would do it without me being asked.Even though it was good...I felt disappointed.The food is even better than at a luxury inn.I was a fool to believe the reviews.The contents of the dishes may be different depending on the season.I'm sorry, but the material changes depending on the season.Just because it's changed, it suddenly tastes better.I don't think so.This time, we will be cooking dishes using game meat.There were many, butThe venison dishes are delicious.As I thought, boar and bear meat areIt has a lot of fat and is tough, and requires a lot of preparation.Is it bad? It has a unique fishy smell.I couldn't eat it.The staff's customer service was polite, butA bath in a room without a key, steep stone steps,Fishy food, unfortunatelyI was disappointed because there were too many.

I stayed here for two consecutive nights with three female friends. I have a buckwheat allergy, and when I contacted them in advance, they accommodated me perfectly. All the dishes were better than any high-end ryokan I've ever experienced. Carefully prepared using seasonal local ingredients, recommended for natural gourmets!

You can't fault the food that allows you to enjoy the natural flavors of nature and the hospitality provided in a comfortable inn. This time, it's summer, and we're enjoying a variety of sweetfish that are beyond imagination. The innkeepers caught fish from Mase River, a clear stream in Gifu. Appetizers, sashimi...The last dish was ayu zosui with egg mushrooms, wild bird mushrooms, bear meat, and tortoise. Excellent food, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
