Kakimotoya

The building was quite old, but the inside has been renovated and is beautiful. Stayed on the first floor. We were accustomed to Western-style living in a pure Japanese-style room with only tatami mats and a Japanese desk, which was full of the Showa era, and it was too difficult for us, so we were asked to change to the second floor halfway through. There is an open-air bath with a room on the first floor, but it was a small cypress bath without a shower. It's tap water, not a hot spring, but it warms up quite a bit. I feel like I'm taking a drum bath in the mountains. The room on the 2nd floor was a shiny and renovated room, with 3 rooms and a shower room, it was very comfortable. The first floor is a normal futon, and it is a little difficult to sleep. The second floor is also a futon, but it feels like a Japanese bed and is comfortable. The large communal bath is larger for women and is not a hot spring, but the scenery from the window is good and you can relax. However, you have to bring towels with your room, and there are no lockers, so you can't bring valuables, smartphones, etc.　There weren't many staff, and it felt like one person was doing various roles, but I could feel that they were doing their best to provide hospitality. It was nice to see that the cleaning was perfect everywhere. It's just an auberge, but the number of cooks seems to be small, so it seems difficult when the rooms are full. I thought it might be difficult to make a dish like that at that time. "The best thing about this inn is the view from the window." We recommend the second floor if possible. You can truly enjoy a bath in the mountains.
