I came with little expectations, but was really pleased with this hotel. The outdoor onsen is really nice. The corridor is a bit noisy when someone walks by. Some dust and spider webs in the top shelfs but nothing really bad

施設も清潔で趣もあって良かったし、スタッフの方もとっても感じ良かったので満足しました。 しかし、3組しか泊まっていないのに、3室隣り合わせで入れられてしまったのが残念でした。 一つおきにするとかしてもらえたら良かったなぁ。
