You can feel an atmosphere of old Japan here. For example, have you ever heard of a kotatsu? It is a traditional Japanese heater, and you can experience it here! it’s cozy. There are three bedrooms with each bath rooms. There are two beds . I’m not sure but you may be lent some futons and comforters here. This is a hotel like a house which is convenient for family. It has a kitchen and a washing machine. So you can stay a bit longer. The floor heating was comfortable. Staying here was interesting.
