Although the hotel was located far up a number of stairs, it was a quiet and remote spot, perfect for a holiday getaway. The rooms were old and sparse, lacking modern amenities, but the friendly service made up for it. The dining options were limited, but the surroundings were calm and rural, offering a unique experience.

Kokoro was a bit away and up many stairs, but once I got to the main road, it was much nicer and closer to everything. The rooms were spacious with a double bed and two twins, but they felt a bit old and lacked amenities like a TV or coffee maker. However, having AC was a plus.
