The inn was in an unexpected location, so I almost passed by it.When you enter the room, there is a footbath and it is a separate space!It was a great day, relaxing in the footbath in the room, the indoor bath, and the open-air bath.

My partner and I had lunch there for the first time last year. I took a private bath, and I thought the food and bath were wonderful.I was alone this year, but the timing was good on my way back from a trip, so I stopped by to try the hamburger steak and Galaxy Drops again. As expected, the lunch was 100% satisfying😋🍴💕I was on my way back from the hot spring inn, but I wanted to try the public bath! So I paid the bathing fee and headed to the changing room. There are two indoor baths. Although the bath was small, it was beautiful and tasteful. I was excited to see what the open-air bath would be like, but when I went outside, I found that there were two smaller baths, one for two people, and one for two people. There were already two customers in the sleeping bath, and two girls in the upper grades of elementary school were already taking a bath in the tsuboyu. When I showed up, the girls took two baths together, and I bathed in the empty bath, but the children's parents or other relatives didn't show any signs of coming out, so they complained. We chatted the whole time, wondering if it was a story or not. We just talked for about 15 minutes. I don't even scold my children when they play with the bath tub submerged in hot water. Even if there were other customers who wanted to take a bath in the open-air bath, they didn't know. What kind of nerves are you having? Eventually, a middle-aged woman who appeared to be a relative of the man also came, and the open-air bath was monopolized by them.Do you want to sleep in the bath that much?If so, wouldn't it be better to go to Gokurakuyu or Kenko Land? Isn't your manners too bad?There was a sign in the changing room that said, "Let's compromise when it's crowded."Most of the cars except mine had Iwate prefecture license plates, so they must be locals. There really is no lack of quality. I was stunned. Even a good inn can be ruined if the customer base is bad, and all I can say is that it's a shame.This has been happening to me lately and I'm tired of it.

2024/9/22I visited for a day trip bath and lunch.Enjoy a 200 yen discount on the bathing fee if you combine lunch with the meal.Day trip bathing is available from 11:30-14:00.Good hot water, calm and classy furniture.The illumination of the open-air bath is a special benefit for guests. It looks like it would be best during the autumn leaves season (^^)

The bath, the food, the room, everything is 5 star.There were times when I felt it was a little noisy because of the continental customers, who are far away from the Japanese style of consideration, but overall it was quiet and calm, and I hope that the current level of service will continue forever.I will visit again in a different season!

Considering it's a food inn, I was surprised at how luxurious the food was. We enjoyed the delicacies of the sea and the mountains.We were also provided with chairs for infants during meals.The area around the inn is really quiet and empty, and there are of course no convenience stores, so it's best to bring snacks and other necessary items with you.All the employees were nice and very nice.The public bath wasn't that big, but I used it on weekdays when it was empty, so I didn't have any hair dryer jams.If you are staying during a busy period, it may be a good idea to spread out your bathing times.The atmosphere inside the hotel was very good, and it was a wonderful inn that I would definitely like to stay at.

This time I stopped by here for lunch.An appetizer came before the hamburger and it was very delicious.Of course the hamburgers were delicious too. I have increased the number of grams.The balsamic sauce is very stylish and delicious.The pumpkin soup was also delicious.Next time, I would like to try the beef stew.When I stayed there last year, I was very satisfied with the service, the baths, and the food.I want to go again.

For the first time, I visited the inn that my wife had always wanted to visit.My wife made a lot of reservations for us, and the accommodation seemed really nice.This time we had a room with a bath in the room, but both the room bath and the large communal bath are good.Dinner was served in your room, but the food was delicious and all of it was great.It was great to be able to spend a relaxing time.Breakfast was plentiful with local ingredients, and I was able to eat things I wouldn't normally eat.The staff at the inn were also very helpful. Thank you very much.I would like to ask you a question. Although the weather was typhoon-like, it was a good trip.
