Excelente acomodación

Nuestra experiencia ha sido muy buena. Lo mejor el señor, amigable y atento! Muchas gracias, le deseamos mucho éxito ya que se nota que hace las cosas con cariño (incluso salió a asegurarse que no perdíamos el bus). La casa es acogedora y la decoración no te deja indiferente (corales, objetos típicos japoneses...). Tienen la opción de comprar cosas variadas por si gustas de comer algo ahí. La habitación es realmente grande, cómoda y limpia.

かゆいところに手が届いてる！コスパ最高！おすすめの宿。

トイレ、シャワールームや洗面台など水回りを含め、全てが清潔に保たれていました。 バスタオル、フェイスタオルあり。洗面台まわりには紙コップ、歯ブラシ、綿棒、ティッシュ、ドライヤーあり。 シャワールームにはシャンプー、ボディソープ、メイク落とし洗顔料あり。 フリードリンクはお茶、紅茶のティーパックにネスカフェバリスタのコーヒー。ホットだけかと思いきや、氷の用意もあり。 欲しいなと思う物はだいたい揃っており、う〜ん…かゆいところに手が届いている！！ なにより、オーナー夫妻のお人柄が温かく、初めてお邪魔したのに不思議と「はぁ〜帰ってきたなぁ♪」と感じるくらいリラックスできました。 食事は朝8〜10時、夜7〜9時の間でうどんや丼物を良心的な価格で用意していただけます。小さい子ども連れでしたので、とても助かりました！ こちらの宿を知ってしまうと、高いホテルや旅館に宿泊するのがばかばかしく感じてしまいます。 他の客室の物音や話し声は聞こえますので、神経質な方には不向きかもしれません。

過去の旅行の中で一番暖かく落ち着ける宿泊施設でした。まるで実家か親戚の家か…というくらい 良い意味で家感がすごい★ 軽食も簡単な物ばかりではありますが、レトルトではなく店主自らの手作りばかりで 全て美味しかった。ここのソフトクリームも最高です♬ 建物自体は古いけど 観光名所からも近いし不潔さも無く、店主の人の良さが伝わります。 二泊三日の旅行の中で小学生の子供達が【一番気に入った】と言う場所が『泊まらせてくれたおじちゃんの家』でした。 個人の意見なので万人が同じではないでしょうが 普段から何かと難癖の多い母も『また来たい』と言うほど 我家にとってはとても素敵な宿でした
