Liluo - Vacation STAY 30802v

The rooms have recently been renovated as of 2023, and there’s a well equipped kitchen with a balcony dining area. The staff are friendly and leave you in peace, literally, since the place is unmanned overnight. The baths are attractive and the water feels mild, but they’re small, so booking involves a complicated magnet board system. I’m 173cm tall and kept hitting my head on lights and doorways, which got tiring with all the bending. It’s also a bit of a long walk from the station.

The bath itself was really pleasant, and I liked having barley tea in the free space afterward. I could hear voices from the next room while in the bathroom, and when I stepped into the changing area, I was startled and thought, “Is someone here even though I have the room to myself?!” The walls are thin, so conversations and snoring from other rooms sometimes carried through. It got mostly quiet late at night, though, and once I fell asleep it didn’t bother me. After reading other reviews, I was at least somewhat prepared. The shoji-screen windows don’t block the light, so bring an eye mask if you’re sensitive to it. Earplugs were available at the front desk. The staff were polite and helpful, and I didn’t have any major complaints. I’d like to stay here again.

I came from Nagano Prefecture while traveling with JRA and sightseeing in Yamanashi. The place was quiet and had a home-like atmosphere, which helped me relax. Guesthouses in Nagano Prefecture can often feel pretty tense. The customer service was excellent, and the room was clean, hands down the best guesthouse room I’ve stayed in. There were three baths, including natural flowing water and a circulating bath, and they felt great. It’s far from the station, and I have a terrible sense of direction, so I got lost several times before finding it. A sign would help. I’d definitely stay here again!

The walls are thin, so noise can be a bit bothersome, but for the price this is very good value. There are private rooms, three private baths, and a shared kitchen. The small cypress bath uses free-flowing hot spring water. The rock bath and the stone bath with round tiles seem to use circulating heating, but they’re roomy and comfortable ♨️. There’s Google TV too.
