I stayed at Ran-no-ma. Although we didn't specify anything in particular, we were told that this was the best room for the 5:00 p.m. informative tour of the harvest insects. After receiving the explanation, I realized once again how wonderful this building and room were. The friendliness of the staff and the food were both excellent. It was my first time staying with my wife in 20 years, and it was a great trip.

It was a very fulfilling time.Each room has a bath, so you can enjoy the hot spring anytime. I was very grateful for the barley tea provided in a glass bottle in the refrigerator after taking a bath.Meals were served in the room, so I was able to spend time relaxing without having to worry about time.Also, the Nakai-san took great care of me, and I was able to spend a comfortable time there.It was a shame that we visited at the end of October and the leaves weren't about to turn, but the view from the window was so beautiful that I wanted to keep looking at it, and it was a wonderful inn that I would definitely want to come back to.

I stayed in Hagi's room. The Japanese-style garden that you could see from your room had such a wonderful atmosphere that you could forget the time. Of course, the rooms and indoor baths are wonderful, and I don't think you can tell unless you experience them, so please come and try our stay❗️

Thank you for staying with me for 2 nights on my birthday. ||After researching for several weeks, I decided on my intuition from a number of inns, and I'm glad I chose this one. …

It's very quiet and relaxing. I can see the garden and feel calm. It reminded me of the house I used to live in.The bath is also a hot spring, so you can take a bath without having to go to the large public bath, and the meals are served in your room, which is very convenient. (The large public bath, open-air bath, and indoor bath are quaint and relaxing.)Check-out time is 11am, which is a lot more time than staying in other rooms, so you don't have to worry about rushing.The great thing about Harunen Mushi is the Nakai-san who is in charge of it. Unlike the staff at other hotels, they are friendly and considerate about everything. I think this is especially reassuring when traveling with elderly people. There is a sense of security that cannot be expressed in just one word, service. Hot springs and food are important factors, but I feel that it really depends on the person.

The room itself is a tangible cultural property and is old, but it is quiet and relaxing. When I look at the pond in the garden, it feels like time has stopped.
