Unusually for a central location, the inn is equipped with parking, making it convenient for guests arriving by car or motorcycle (parking is free for staying guests). The rooms exude a retro Showa-era charm, and while they may feel slightly inconvenient, guests can enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere.

Breakfast features homemade rustic dishes prepared with locally sourced vegetables and rice. The pride of our inn is undoubtedly the baths.There are five key features designed to satisfy hot spring enthusiasts. 1.
