I stayed here because it was a convenient place to visit Nago Kannon, which is the prayer site for the Bando Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage, and the Japanese Temple of Nokogiriyama.The problem was that you could hear the noise from the neighboring room, but the bathroom was clean and it was nice to have breakfast and dinner in the room.

The rooms are non-smoking, but there is an ashtray outside the entrance.The bath is spacious and has heating.I think it's run by a couple.They were very kind.Parking is also nearby.There is a 7-Eleven within a 2 minute walk.It is about a 10 minute walk to Yasuda Station.

The rooms were well-cleaned.I had dinner with it, and the fried horse mackerel was crispy and fluffy, and the grilled cutlass fish was perfectly grilled without becoming soggy.The sashimi is also delicious and satisfying.

Considering the travel time from Tokyo, my husband really wanted to stay overnight while photographing the Yoritomo cherry blossoms. All the nearby hotels were fully booked, and my reluctance to stay there turned out to be the most painful experience.I had stayed at a minshuku before with some trepidation, and although the building was old, the food was delicious and I didn't have a bad impression of it.It was cold and cold, so when I went in to take a bath, my husband said, ``Wow, wait a minute!! This is terrible!'' ” They scooped up the floating hair and other things, but it was in a state that I couldn't bear to look at. It was like, ``Gah!'' The hot water was so thick that it must have been left over from yesterday. I'm on the verge of death from shock. Of course I got out quickly.I thought the food would help me recover, but that didn't happen. What do I do to make the rice so mushy? The impact of the cold rice was amazing. I can't help but say nothing...However, even though the boiled golden sea bream was cold, it was delicious!What bothered me was that I could hear all the sounds and voices from the next room, and my grandpa was constantly coughing and saying, ``Goho, goho, geho,'' and I spent a long night without being able to relax at all.By the way, the sound of walking in slippers in the hallway was so loud that earplugs had no effect at all. The futon was thin and cold, and the pillow was from the Heian period. Man, my body hurt. What if I don't have slippers? I think the low rating due to the noise problem will be resolved. And when I walked down the hallway, the lights came on and it was so bright. window? I think it would be a good idea to put some cloth on it.Breakfast was also messy (sweat)The fried eggs I haven't seen in a long time were delicious. The opening of the horse mackerel was delicious!It's probably unsold old rice. It said Fukushima rice. (I love Fukushima)God may have been showing us that we, who always lead an organic life without pesticides, should think about the feelings of people who don't have anything to eat in disasters or refugee camps and act accordingly.I felt so happy to be able to come home, sleep peacefully, and eat delicious food. Thank you very much for this precious opportunity.

Although it is called a ryokan, it is actually a guesthouse.The inn's signboard clearly says "minshuku".I saw some low reviews on the reservation site, but I felt it was highly rated for a guesthouse.The price was reasonably priced as it included a meal, and the dinner included a lot of fresh and delicious fish, which was better than a hotel that cost twice as much.The location is convenient, with 7-Eleven and the beach just a few minutes walk away.To get from the inn, you will have to walk on a road with poor visibility and no sidewalks, so be careful of cars.Another thing to note is that the parking lot is difficult to find.The inn is on the right side of the road photo, but after passing about 15m towards Tateyama, it is on the left (at the telephone pole in the photo) and is about 3m wide. There was a very narrow road, and the grassy area at the end was the parking lot.

A very ordinary guesthouse and inn. The room is a clean Japanese-style room.The tatami mats were new and I felt comfortable.I take my meals in my room.They don't have alcohol, so I'm told to bring it in at a nearby convenience store.It's best to buy it before dinner.The bath is a normal unit bath, but it is a little larger at 1.5 tsubo (1.5 tsubo), so you can relax in the large bathtub. Please don't get me wrong, the sea photo was taken at a nearby sea.

I used it for work. The parking lot is in the grassland across the road, so it's noisy at night. There's a 7-Eleven right in front of it, so it's convenient. As is normal for traditional inns and guesthouses, the entrance to the room has no door, just a sliding door, and the walls aren't as thick as in a hotel, so you can easily hear voices from the next room. Looks like fun with the family. I hope it became a good memory. I was told that Wi-Fi was available, but the SSID written on the paper was not working. It seems like the ID of the repeater is coming, so I would appreciate it if you could check it and fix it. Also, the air conditioner's mode switch button didn't work, so I couldn't change from cooling mode. Even though it was the height of autumn, I should have woken up when the mosquito repellent was out, but I was woken up by mosquitoes in the middle of the night. It is a good idea to put it on as soon as you enter the room. Meals will be served in your room. For breakfast, rice is served in a small bowl. You might run out of side dishes, so it might be a good idea to buy croquettes or fried chicken at 7-Eleven. The bath is not a large public bath, but a slightly larger private bath with special specifications that you sometimes see in pensions and guesthouses. The tatami in the room was new.
