The building is a bit dated but it is nowhere near as bad as the average review here seems to suggest, the place is clean and comfortable enough for a few days of stay. The view of the seto inland sea is nice both from the shared bath and also the room. The staffs are nothing but friendly and helpful during my stay here even though i can only speak a little Japanese as a foreigner.

The location is about 15-20 minute walk from the nearest train station, there are public buses that run through the front of the hotel but it is infrequent. Tip for travelers who plan to walk to the property: get off the train at aki-nagahama station, the walk is much more pleasant and you can get a nice view of the seto inland sea en route.

The room was extremely nice, traditional japanese style and big, there was also a TV and an air con. The bath room that they have devided for men and women was great and with a wonderful view, I was shocked by how nice it was.

We had to pay with cash because they were not accepting any card but since the hotel is situated in an inconvenient place, we had to walk a lot to be able to withdraw money and then came back to pay. To be able to reach places, you have to walk a lot or wait for a bus that doesn't come many times a day and that also stops pretty early.

The thermal spa at this hotel is truly delightful, and the tea set in my room was charming enough to deserve recognition. Although the illumination in the stairwell drew numerous insects that are fond of light, their presence was minimal enough not to disrupt the enjoyment of spa time, even with the windows open to the refreshing sea breeze.

Those Japanese slippers felt somewhat unusual to wear on the wooden floors, and the height of the bathroom is slightly low for my fomfort.

I stayed a couple of nights to rest in the middle of a long bicycle trip. The room was basic but rather nice. The hotel is located in a quiet area, a bit outside of town but that is part of the charm. The sea water public bath is an amazing place to watch the sunset from. It is very quiet and there is a nice little beach nearby. The staff was nice and helpful. They even let me take my bike in the lobby for the night.

great location for bunny island if you are driving, good available in Takehara down the coast but very little besides Konbini nearby. Dated but all the cooler for it, one night would do, more than that would be hard to justify…great view of the sea from the rooms…and for a very cheap price it worked for us.

no complaints at all at this price…

The hot bath and quiet location are excellent. While clearly past its glory days we found this hotel to be close enough to walk to the ferry and train station.

There is no on-site breakfast or dinner (at least while we were there). You'll need to plan ahead.

I loved staying in a traditional house with its own bath. I stayed there before going to rabbit island. It was very relaxing to be away from the big touristic places. The owner was very nice.

Nice view of the ocean, and a stones throw away from a small beach.

Convenience store is quite far away if you walk.

I liked how everything was clean and things were easy to access. The staffs so friendly.

Nothing at all

The feel of the hotel, very authentic, old Japanese inn.

The futons are a little too thin
