Fantastic - loved it

10.0

I loved everything about our stay here. Traditional rooms, excellent air conditioning. We had a room with a private bathroom. It’s basic but sufficient. The owner transferred us to monkey park and picked us up. The breakfast was super cheap but all we needed was- egg, fruit, cereal, coffee.

Nothing - it was all great

Esperienza fantastica

9.0

La struttura é un pó datata, ma questo non toglie nulla all’ottima esperienza che abbiamo avuto. Il proprietario Ichiro è super gentile, accogliente e simpatico, ci ha accolti nel migliore dei modi. Essendo il check-in alle 15:00, appena arrivati ci ha accompagnati personalmente all’ ingresso del parco delle scimmie, spiegandoci anche il percorso da fare al ritorno. La camera é molto accogliente e intima, dormirete sul tatami in un tipico Ryokan giapponese, un esperienza da provare almeno una volta nella vita. La camera dispone anche di una verandina, dalla quale si accede alla stanza con il solo wc, molto carina per rilassarsi la sera. Noi avevamo la camera con il bagno in camera, la doccia é un po datata, ma comunque pulita e funzionante al 100% La camera ha anche un condizionatore adatto sia alla stagione invernale che estiva. Noi abbiamo scelto di fare colazione in hotel (costa 1000 yen a persona). La colazione é molto semplice, quindi adatta a tutti: c’é frutta, yogurt, pane, marmellata e burro, corn flakes, latte, succo e caffé Noi siamo scesi abbastanza presto e la postazione colazione non era ancora pronta, ma Ichiro ci ha chiesto di aspettare un attimo e in 5min lui è la moglie hanno allestito tutto. Noi non abbiamo provato le Onsen, ma l’hotel dispone di Onsen maschili e femminili. Ha anche un Onsen privata, più adatta a coppie e famiglie, che va prenotata a slot orario. Il proprietario vi spiegherà tutto al vostro arrivo Una cosa che mi é rimasta molto impressa, in modo positivo, é che Ichiro scatta una foto insieme a qualsiasi persona che alloggi da lui, come ricordo, e questo la dice lunga sull’attenzione e il rispetto che porta alle persona che decidono di soggiornare nel suo hotel Ci siamo sentiti a casa, per tutto il soggiorno, nonostante fossimo dall’altra parte del mondo. P.S abbiamo apprezzato molto anche il piccolo regalino che Ichiro ci ha donato prima della nostra partenza ❤️

Superbe!

9.0

Le propriétaire est extrêmement sympathique! Le onsen privé a été un plus pour nous puisque nous voyagions avec notre bébé de 1 an et avons des tatouages. Ça nous a permis de vivre l’expérience au moins une fois!

Les lieux sont un peu défraîchis. Ça n’a rien changé pour nous mais si vous cherchez quelque chose de moderne ce n’est peut être pas le bon endroit. Tout est très propre cependant!
