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. 👍

The location was a bit far from the nearest station, so it was a bit difficult for me as a walker. It was a shame that there wasn't a convenience store nearby, but you could buy what you needed inside at a low price. The room was spacious and the private shower room and bathroom were very clean and nice. Of course, good friendly service!!

The owner played the piano and I felt a very welcoming atmosphere. There was so much kindness and communication that made me want to go again. The autumn leaves and the mountains were covered in snow, and I was amazed by the majesty of nature.

Met lovely people. Eric was amazing, taking me to the shop to buy groceries and stopping at beautiful shrines in the one go. Thank you!

Bit of a walk from the station (if you go at night it is VERY dark, but still safe!) but the scenery is beautiful

Very happy with my experience. I stayed one night in late November 2022 while riding the Biwaichi route. Staff was courteous, efficient, and bilingual. Facility was clean and well organized and - importantly - had indoor bicycle storage. For the equivalent of 28 USD (3700 JPY) I got one of the dorm beds similar to a capsule hotel plus a Thai bento of Gapao rice which was delicious. They also have a nice big public bath as well as individual showers, coin laundry, and some snacks for purchase at the front desk. If you're looking for an overnight rest stop while riding, i recommend this place.
