The rooms were quaint and clean. Although the amenities aren’t flashy and there’s no free breakfast, the kind lady who runs pension was sweet, caring, and attended to our needs. I had a very good room at unbeatable price and I would stay here again a million times. Thank you Pension!

スタッフさんが温かい雰囲気の方で、お部屋・お風呂が綺麗でした。 潔癖症のため、お手洗いを使う際便器・床などに服を引きずらないよう工夫が必要でしたが、洗面台の汚れが少なかったので、その点に救われました。 お部屋の電灯が控えめで、とても落ち着くとともに、もしも可能であれば明るい白色の電灯を取り付けて頂けると、手元が見易くなるのではないかと思いました。 良い一晩をありがとうございました。

È bello trovare un albergo ancora in stile locale. Il personale è davvero gentile e disponibile, e questo ci è piaciuto molto. I bagni/restroom in comune sono pochi: questo potrebbe essere uno svantaggio quando ci sono tanti ospiti presenti. Forse questo e l'arredo dei bagni un po' datato sono i punti dolenti del nostro soggiorno. I locali comunque erano sempre puliti e in ordine. Le aree comuni sono in stile un po' retrò ma questo può essere un dettaglio caratteristico. La stanza da letto tradizionale, con tatami e futon, ci è piaciuta tantissimo. Questo è un dettaglio importante. Riguardo alle camere: noi avevamo delle valige un po' ingombranti e lo spazio per riporle ( volendo evitare di sporcare il tatami) non era molto. L'albergo è in una zona servita dai mezzi ma abbastanza distante dal caos delle aree più turistiche, e con tanti locali per mangiare tipico. Insomma: è stata un' esperienza autentica, con alcuni elementi migliorabili, ma sicuramente positiva.

War alles soweit gut, nur war es blöd, dass man nur von 18 bis 22 Uhr duschen kann. Dazu kommt noch, dass es für alle nur ein bad gibt, dafür getrennt für Männer und Frauen. Auch die Toilette musste auf jeder Etage mit den anderen Zimmern geteilt werden. Dafür war aber immer überall alles sauber. Am Ende bekam meine Frau sogar ein kleines Abschiedsgeschenk. Das Personal 2 ältere Damen waren immer nett und hilfsbereit.
