This was not the best capsule room I booked. But this guesthouse has their own kitchen so you can cook and barbecue and washing machine. Good view from the lake.It also have a hot bath. Mr. H**aru is so approachable. As a solo traveler, I felt I had left a friend there. From my 4-day solo trip I am glad I went there on my last day.
I will come back there. 👍

It snowed a lot so I was able to check in late, but I was able to check in without any problems. Thanks to that, I had a good rest.

It was a good stay last year, so I came back this year. But I forgot that there are no towels or toiletries provided. Fortunately, you can rent a towel for 100 yen. There are more guests this time than last time, and there are more people in the public spaces. The Japanese-style room is spacious, the mattress is very comfortable, and the heating temperature is moderate. There are showers and shower facilities. Breakfast can be cooked and coffee made in the common room. There is a large parking lot in front of the door 👍
