There is a restaurant attached to the reception desk, and I would like to have a view of the restaurant on my way back from the day-trip bath, so is it okay to just look at it? When I asked, there were no customers, but I was told that it was guest time. Isn't it bad to just look at it? teeth? ? That's what happened.I felt really bad and wanted to buy some souvenirs, but I decided against it and decided not to go back next time. I'll never come again. A day trip bath costs 1,000 yen, which is quite a bargain.As others have written, I understand that some people were offended.

I visited during my trip to Kochi.Since there were only a few rooms and I didn't meet other people, I was able to spend a quiet time.A music room? I stayed there, but there was no TV, so I just listened to music (lol) You could choose your favorite CD from the CDs they had, but there were no current songs (lol) I just listened to Yumi Matsutoya, the only one I know. I was listening (lol)I recommend it because you can experience something out of the ordinary.

I stayed in an Artek room.I felt like I had returned to the origin of music, which is the enjoyment of sound. Altec speakers actually used in the 1940s. Jazz and classical music that makes use of the midrange and high frequencies are best than the club sounds you hear with a woofer. I brought a CD that I used to listen to a lot, and I was able to connect it via Bluetooth.In the city, it is difficult to listen to loud music from speakers on a daily basis, so this stay was like a dream, and I felt the romance of the owner. Thank you again. thank you very much.The food was locally sourced and was very delicious, with emphasis on the flavor of the ingredients. The world of subtraction.Since there were only three groups a day, I felt that the service from the staff was very attentive.And nature, guest room open-air bath, private open-air bath...It was the height of luxury.

The rooms have good acoustics, and you can listen to your favorite jazz, classical, rock, etc. music by editing it in the cloud and connecting it to your smartphone. You can take a hot spring bath or drink coffee while listening to music at high volume without disturbing anyone. Perhaps because of the acoustic effects, Mozart and Beethoven vibrate in the hot water, making you feel like you're in the hall...This is an extremely valuable and moving inn that can only be found here.

It's wonderful to have a cafe that also uses hot spring facilities. Take a relaxing soak in the hot springs, which are fed directly by the source, and take in the soothing scenery while relaxing. If it's summer, it's nice to take a cold bath outside! The view from the restaurant is great from inside. The food is delicious and you can spend some time relaxing by the lake.

I used the day trip bath.The baby is bathed in a baby bath.However, there is also a child fee.There are no baby cots in the changing room, so I think it would be difficult to go in alone with your baby.If you're going to charge a child fee, I want you to do something about it.

I used it during my stay.I used Rakuten Travel's top-class accommodation and Symbol.At first, I thought it was a bit disappointing for a hotel that costs over 100,000 yen per night for two people, but the view from the room and the chirping of the birds were amazing. The food was also very delicious.

Used for day trip hot springs.The location was good and the atmosphere was great!It was good because we were the only ones, but the bath is small, so I'm not sure if we can use it if there are more than 6 people...It was far from the parking lot, and since it was raining, it felt like it was a long way away.But I think it's great to have a facility with a great atmosphere and location in the middle of nowhere in Kochi!

The location is nice, but the prices are quite aggressive considering the quality.Are you running a business as a hobby?
