Cheap place to stay the night. We booked three rooms, and the mattresses were uncomfortable in all three rooms. The mattresses were thin, and you could feel the mattress springs. Otherwise, the bathroom is clean and new, whereas everything else is old.

Kleine und super gemütliche Unterkunft mit einem schönen Innenhof mit Sitzmöglichkeiten. Zimmer sind sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Der Besitzer ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Er spricht nur japanisch, aber mit Übersetzer Apps hat auch alles super geklappt. Definitiv einen Aufenthalt Wert

都会の喧騒とは離れ、近くには浜辺もコンビニもある利便さはとてもよかったです。駐車場がわかりにくかったのですが、オーナーさんが丁寧に教えてくださりました。駐車スペースも広く、星がよく見えて綺麗でした。水周りも清潔で、サブスクの種類も豊富かつWiFiもあり快適すぎる環境でありがたかったです！

家族的雰囲気なオーナーさんのお出迎え。部屋も小洒落た感じで良い。ただし、温水洗浄便座が付いてなかったのが残念。その他細かいところで埃があり、もう少し掃除をお願いしたい。部屋の照明は、天井ではなくベッド横の照明で間接照明すると完璧です。ぐっすり眠れました。

ダンディなオーナーさんが出迎えてくださいました。口数は少なめのご様子でしたが、話しかければ気さくなお人柄が伺えるカッコ良い方でした。そしてとても親切でした。 お部屋は質素ですがゆったりとくつろげる空間。ドリップコーヒーを沢山備えてあり嬉しかったです。 連泊でのご旅行にピッタリな感じでした。

The staff is very accomodating. We arrived early around 2pm, and the owner let us checked in around that time. It was supposed to be 3pm. The bedroom is also much bigger in person and its also clean! Will probably go back again next year! Thank you

海に遊びに行くため利用しました。部屋は綺麗でソファがあったのが良かったです。ただ、床が絨毯なのが少し気になりました。 予約をすれば庭でBBQをすることができます。材料だけ用意すれば火をつけるところまでやってくれます。また、まな板や包丁、お皿なども貸してもらえます。子どもも大満足でした。
