"昨年夏に続いて2度目の利用です。 全体的に少し古い感じはしますが、部屋はゆったりとして外の景色も見え、落ち着いた感じがします。 赤ちゃん連れの息子夫婦と隣同士の部屋にして下さって何かと便利でした。また、赤ちゃんの泣き声もほとんど聞こえなかったので防音もいいのかな、と思いました。 トイレが温水便座であればさらに良かったと思います。"

"Our stay here was the highlight of a three week vacation in Japan. It is an unique, deep immersion into Japan culture and hospitality while still being comfortable for non-Japanese.
