Easily hear sound (esp snoring and talking) from next room and corridor all over the night. Onsen is a bit old. I can understand as it is only a small operation and I still are late they are making all their best effort. The breakfast is superb. And I can see a sky swamp with stars at night. What a scene!

Great place in the farm land area.

Room and futons were very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and plenty of food. The onsen was nice to have indoors and outdoors. Owner was very nice. Very easy to find the location.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff was helpful. Breakfast was delicious, but needed a bit more instruction about cooking the raw egg.. Beds had Japanese pillows. Towels were rather thin. Some sort of sprayed fragrance in the air when we arrived, which aggravated allergies. Opening the windows for an hour helped. Hard to control heat, but we finally figured it out. Not enough counter space in the bathroom. Large closet.
