Homestays in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

It is a lodge run by the senior madam, about 15 minutes walk from the station ～ 20 minutes. The bath was a rock bath and was reserved (30 minutes). It was clean with a large bath. The room was on the mountain side, so it felt a bit dark, but the bed was good. The dinner was very delicious with charcoal-fired grilled meat and fish. The plum sake of the aperitif was also the best. It was a very quiet and nice lodge. Above all, Madame was a nice person.

Traveling with a dog♡ It was a contactless check-in. First, a check-in guide was sent to us at 10am the day before our stay, and we unlocked the door using the password. After entering the room, we spoke to the operator using a tablet. (It was a video call!) See the photo for the tablet. By the way, the email sent to us at 10am the day before had a URL, so we entered our guest information in advance, which made the day very easy. Foreigners (with companions) were required to upload their passport information and photos. -------- This room type is a [Pet-friendly] villa. You need to think carefully about the room type! This room had a sauna (see photo). Available 24 hours a day. It's too small for two people, so I think it's basically for one person. And there's a dog run too. However, since it's on top of a mountain, there was frost, the weather was changeable, and it rained lightly, so my dog, who hates water and is indoors, hardly used the dog run... What a waste... I think it's good for dogs who love the outdoors. --- It was really nice that the place was well equipped with furniture, appliances, kitchen supplies, pet supplies, and so on! I felt like staying there for about a week. *As stated on the official website, there were no pajamas provided, so you must bring your own.

There is no mini refrigerator in the inn (room). The amount of dinner dishes is large, so I thought it would be special if I could choose which one I liked, meat or fish main. The taste was delicious. You can take a bath slowly when you are free.
