foods are nice. Onsen is a bit small but acceptable as it is in a homestay-like accommodation not a hotel.

It is a great place to stay for your holiday, just a 10-minute drive from the nearby tourist sights. The dinner and breakfast were excellent and very traditional Japanese style. The only concern is that there is no lift in this accommodation, so you will need to move your luggage up.

Although we don’t speak Japanese and the woman at the reception try her best to communicate with us. We also recommended by her to visit nearby light illumination event ( very lucky) that opened in that night. She also tried to explain the environment and scenes nearby and recommended us to visit all. She is a very good tourist ambassador :) The dinner and breakfast are Japanese style and quality are very very good. Onsen is small but good enough for relaxation. We enjoyed the stay very much. If possible don’t drag your luggage on wheels inside as this will leave dirt on the floor.

整體一般，感受不好

食物極一般，浴場只得一個池，而且極細，有漂水味，停車場在酒店對面馬路，酒店門前很難停車，上落行李極之不方便

傳統的日式旅館提供供溫泉和日式定食，地點就在公車站牌西赤尾站，對面就是岩瀬家，有導覽和當地音樂，入住當晚剛好有菅沼合掌造聚落點燈，旅館有提供接駁服務，我們度過美好的時光!

Great experience

It was a small family run village hotel but with 5 star quality. Room was very clean and food was fabulous. The hot spring was small but adequate. The service was very thought through. The owner prepared Japanese Kimono for my young daughter. All kids menu was carefully designed. We would go back someday.
