"I stayed here to catch the first train of the Mt. Shirane Ropeway. It has a cozy, old-fashioned inn feel. The room was just the right size, but the refrigerator and toilet were shared. There were no yukatas provided. The hot spring leaves your skin smooth. The water is lukewarm, so you need to soak for at least 15 minutes to warm up. There was a kerosene heater. As it's in the middle of nature, there were stink bugs in the room. There was a 7-Eleven about a 5-minute drive away."

"This lodging exceeded my expectations. The entire building seems to have been carefully designed and thought out. It's thoroughly organized and clean, and even simple tools like a single flower or leaf convey a certain charm. There are quite a few stink bugs, but they take care of them by putting medicine on the windows, and if you call they'll take care of it, so even people who can't stand bugs should be fine. It's not expensive, so it's good value for money. It's close to Oze, making it a convenient place to stay at the end of a walking tour of Oze. However, be aware that nearby restaurants are far away and close early."

"The proprietress is kind and the dinner is rich and delicious. Take breakfast early and take the rice balls in the morning The accommodation is clean and quiet. The water quality of the soup house is great."

"The hotel is ideal for travelers without a car. They offer a pickup service from the Oze-Tokura bus stop and help arrange the bus to Hatomachitoge. Breakfast starts at 5:30 a.m., which is perfect for hikers heading to Oze National Park."

"The beef stew for dinner was a little sweet for me."

"I found this inn while sightseeing at the lake and thought it was a luxury hotel. Perhaps because it was after the Obon holiday, the price was reasonable. They upgraded me from a room with a shared bathroom to a nice room. Check-in was at 1:00 PM. It was a 35-degree day, but as I approached Marunuma Kogen, the temperature dropped to 25 degrees. The inn is located at an altitude of 1,430 meters. There was no air conditioning in the room, but the breeze from the window made it comfortable (there was a fan in the room). My clean room was 8 tatami mats in size and had no veranda or chair. The futons were set up inside the room so they were easy to lay out. The sink and toilet were spacious, and lotions and other amenities were provided for both men and women. My room had no view of the lake, but the sun was nice, so it was nice. The large public bath does not have an open-air bath; men and women alternate between them. The rainbow trough bath in the large public bath has a very high ceiling and huge triangular windows on both sides that offer a garden of greenery and trees. There was a huge rainbow trout monument in the center of the bath, and the hot spring water flowed freely. What surprised me was the two large aquariums in the bathroom, from which you could see the rainbow trout swimming. There were also about 12 washing stations. The sinks had lotions and other amenities. The next morning, I went to the smaller bath, which was impressive. Perhaps because I arrived early in the morning, the water temperature had dropped (below 39 degrees), making the warm water relaxing. For dinner, I had the "Cool Breeze Menu" at the restaurant. It was delicious, including trout and konjac sashimi, whole grilled sweetfish, and chicken teppanyaki. I was able to finish everything, including the rice and dessert. A 300cc bottle of local sake (from Numata City) cost about 1,000 yen. Breakfast included whole simmered rock trout in soy sauce, a large grilled fish, and "Yasuda Yogurt Drink," a popular item at Kawaba Roadside Station. It was a wonderful stay, helping me forget the sweltering summer heat. It was a summer getaway, and I hope to come back next summer and stay multiple nights."

"It is a renovated quaint B&B with old and simple facilities, but as a hotel, it has everything it needs and is clean and hygienic. The administrator and cleaner is an older and kind-hearted woman. Although she doesn't understand the language, she has a polite smile."

"The meal was delicious and the customer service was great. Thank you again ‼️"
