The Accommodation itself is old, but the housekeeping staff here are truly excellent. The windows are spotless right down to the frames, and even the balcony—where dust can easily build up—is sparkling clean from corner to corner. It has also been renovated, so there’s none of that musty smell typical of older Accommodations. The Onsen isn’t large, but it’s clean and very pleasant as well—I enjoyed it so much that I used it twice, once at night and once in the morning. The front desk staff are courteous too, and this is an Accommodation I can confidently recommend.

We stayed here as a couple in our sixties while sightseeing in Nagano Prefecture. We were impressed by the warm welcome upon arrival and the courteous service from the staff during meals. It truly came through how much they value each and every guest. Whether it was the way the dishes were served or how the tableware was arranged, everything reflected great care and attention to detail. The food was, of course, outstanding—delicious and wonderful in every way. We are grateful to, and deeply impressed by, the head chef. The building was not particularly new, but it was well cleaned, and we were able to spend a very pleasant time here. We travel to many places, but this Accommodation was truly exceptional. It was an Accommodation where you could feel genuine care in everything they do. The staff took great care of us. Thank you very much.
