As soon as I saw the room, I covered myself. A real Showa retro inn. You can travel back in time to the Showa era.It's a simple 6 tatami room, but it's spacious because there's nothing there. I want foreigners who don't know tatami to stay here. The wife is very kind. I would like to stay again.

I stayed in Akashi for two nights on a business trip, and the only deciding factor was that the parking lot was free.However, I was honestly surprised by the room 😲I was surprised to find the key to the room. . . I wish we had keys like this these days. . . It's a Showa era key where you insert a small key and push it in while turning it (lol)The space to take off your shoes was small, and I was more surprised by the room. . . There were no tissues, of course there was no refrigerator, and the only thing I had was a rice cracker futon. . . and a small unusable TV. . . It's like wandering into the world of Princess Kaguya's "Kandagawa" in the Showa era (lol)The refrigerator is located outside and is shared, similar to what you would find in a Showa-era diner.Of course, the bath was outside and was a little bigger than a home bath, but it was full of mold.The biggest problem is that the restrooms are unisex and there are mosquitoes, so at least use mosquito coils. . . There is an explanation of the specifications of the toilet in English, but I wonder if English-speaking people would come here in this Showa era (lol)There's no food 💦It's inconvenient to do anything, and the only thing that's free is parking.Also, the landlady is a nice person, but she's the type who talks one-sidedly and is a little annoying.Well, it can't be helped because it's just for sleeping, but if you want to feel the Showa era, please try using it.“Kanda River” kept playing in my head (lol)I'll probably never use it again.

The room has tatami flooring, so you can relax. Please note that there is no refrigerator.It's about a 15 minute walk from Akashi Station.We had left early in the morning for the night before fishing, so we just had enough time to sleep. I'm glad I was able to keep my accommodation costs down.

This is an eight-tatami futon type inn with a communal bath, sink, and toilet, reminiscent of the old days of boarding houses. The hostess was kind, and even though she kept complaining that the back parking lot was accessed through a narrow passage, it was the type of inn I liked. Other than that, another customer in a car with a number number ○, which was probably parked diagonally next to the parking lot, started exercising in the next room and it started making a thud, and the station felt a little far away, and there was no refrigerator in the room. This is a place we recommend for consecutive nights.

It's an old inn. Baths and toilets are shared, but they were well kept.However, there are many things that are missing, so be careful. There are no tea or pots in the room, so buy drinks from the vending machine outside the entrance. No paper towels for hand washing in the restroom. Use a handkerchief or bring a face towel from your room. There was no tissue paper in the room, so I had to bring some paper with me... As expected, there was a toothbrush.But it was cheap and the room was a Japanese-style room, so it was spacious and good.The parking lot is located right in front of the entrance, towards the railroad tracks, and then turning left (at the back of the inn).It would be nice if number 14 on the road side was vacant, but most of the other parking spaces are not for inns. The inn is located in spaces 1 to 5 at the back of the parking lot, but I only found out about it after entering the guest room. I'm glad number 14 was empty. When I looked at the street view, number 13 was also written as Gongenso, so maybe I didn't notice it or there was a change, but in any case, check the sign carefully and park.
