Oyado Zen

It was February and there was a lot of snow. The temperature was -7℃ at night, but the heater turned off quickly so it was cold. The kotatsu was warm and nice.

It was really nice to have a room with a kotatsu. The bedding blankets were fluffy and I slept soundly! If there are people making noise nearby, you can hear them talking quite a bit, but considering the price and the facilities, it's acceptable! Thank you!

I stayed here as a solo traveler. About 10 minutes walk from Yubatake. The surrounding area is lined with private businesses and is a quiet place. LAWSON is just a few minutes walk away and I think it's convenient for a quick meal. It appears that tourists cannot use the nearby public bath because there was a sign saying that it was only available to local residents, perhaps as a precaution against the coronavirus. (Mr. Tatsunoyu) This is an unmanned inn, so check-in can be easily done using a tablet at the entrance. It's easy if you're used to the internet. Also, if you receive an email from the host and enter the necessary information there, you can check in smoothly. I stayed in a single room, and it was spacious with tatami mats, which made me feel nostalgic. The combination of the kotatsu and oil stove was the best. The toilets are shared and there are no showers in the rooms, but there are many hot springs nearby so it's not a problem. It's helpful that towels are provided. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
