This is a lovely 'boutique hotel' in an absolutely beautiful part of the area north of Nakanojo near Lake Okushima. I wanted a truly Japanese place and I got it. Few, if any, 'foreigners' in the area. I was provided a bike and road around for 3 hours. The owner is a beautiful, kind lady and her and her staff treated me like a king. I had a room with a private hot spring pool - all I can say is "wow". If you want to see a place off the beaten track, I highly recommend this hotel.

Super relaxing and tranquil hotel. We enjoyed our private onsen and were very happy with our room. The futon is not for us as we learned after our first night. Was too hard. So just be aware of that. Otherwise perfect. We happily would come back.

お篭り宿

宿泊したのは去年リフォームされたばかりのスタイリッシュできれいなお部屋でした。ダイニングスペースとくつろげるスペースがあるのでとても快適に過ごすことができました。小物やお皿、家電などにこだわりを感じられました。 スタッフの方の対応も丁寧でしたし、食事もとても美味しくちょうど良い量でした。 温泉はシンプルですが、アメニティーなどで工夫が見受けられました。 お値段的に安くはないお宿ですが、お部屋から頼めるお酒の値段がお手頃なのは嬉しいポイントでした。周囲には何もないのでお篭りするにはいいかもしれません。
