It was a nice Japanes experience with the futon on the floor. Only two points negative. There was no towels for the shower unless you rented it for 200 yen. Breakfast was only croissants with coffee, juice,butter and jam.

ゆっくりできました。入り口に自転車もあり、借りられるのも、手頃な料金も、良かったです。外食でなく、ＪＡなどで、新鮮な地元の食材を使って、レンジ調理など簡単調理をして楽しめば良かったと思いました。なにより、涼しく居心地が良かったです。いつでも、コーヒーやお茶が用意してあるのも嬉しかったです。

車山のフランス車イベント参加で宿泊。　周囲の旅館よりは安く泊まれると思いますが、シャワー・トイレが共同となります。（共にリフォーム済で綺麗！）　部屋にはこたつが有り、当日は寒かったのでこたつで就寝…　旅館の主もフランス車に詳しかったのか、私の乗って来た車の事を聞かれました！

空調がないため、扇風機を使用。 今までは涼しく空調の必要が無かったが、昨今の気候変動で設置を考えているとのことでした。 朝は23度と寒いくらいでした。 朝食はパン３種類　切り餅　バター　ジャム　ジュース　紅茶　緑茶　コーヒー　麦茶　 果物は持参した物を食べました。卵やソーセージ　野菜がちょっと欲しい気もします。

とても良かったです

女性の一人旅でも安心して宿泊出来ました。 掃除も行き届いており、とっても快適に過ごすことが出来ました。そしてなんと言っても、オーナーさん夫妻にサービス以上のサービスをして頂き、恐縮な思いと嬉しさでいっぱいになりました。業務用キッチンも夕方〜夜まで使い放題で、『暮らす様に旅をする』こんな方にピッタリなお宿です。朝もコンロは使えませんが（使用時間以外の為）キッチンは使わせて頂く事ができ、夜に作っておいた物と、お宿サービスの朝食と合わせて食べる事が出来、とても良かったです。 とにかく宿泊者目線で運用されていて、素晴らしいお宿でした。ありがとうございました！
ワーキングスペースも充実しており、食堂のお茶など持って来て作業が出来て勉強が捗りました！

安く、綺麗で、ご利用する方も少なく、静かで過ごしやすかったです。 価格が安い分、お風呂、トイレが共同なので、その点はご注意下さい。使用するのに、何の問題もなかったです。気になったのは廊下を歩く時の音が割とあった点位です。
