"Since the booking sites were full during the Obon period, I contacted the inn directly and they kindly accepted my reservation ^^ (I got a 5% discount for booking early). I arrived a little early, but they allowed me to check in without any trouble. The lobby and room both gave the impression of being a little cluttered, but I later realized that this was part of their hospitality. There was a pickle set and a sweets set waiting for me, which was perfect since I hadn't had lunch. My room was the Asagiri-so special room with a panoramic open-air bath. It seemed to have been recently renovated, as it was very clean. I could see Kitamuki Kannon from the balcony, and the view was great, and the sulfur-scented hot spring was very pleasant. (There is also an open-air bath in the public bath.) Meals were served in my room, the service from the maid was pleasant, and the proprietress came to greet me at dinner. They took great care to accommodate my allergies to certain foods that I had informed them of in advance, and I was impressed that an inn would go to such lengths. The meal was delicious, incorporating local and seasonal ingredients. At night, there seemed to be a festival at Kitamuki Kannon, and it was lively until late. The sound of bells could be heard in the evening and morning, and all of that, including the bells, gave me a nostalgic feeling. I felt soothed by the warm hospitality of the inn. Thank you very much!"
