Overall it was good. But there is no restaurant or shops nearby

During my stay was typhoon, just a simple home stay, owner is ok nice old man, overall I'm satisfy.

安さには理由がある。お試しにどうぞ！

本当に素泊まりするだけの最低限のものしかないです。 シャワーやトイレ、食堂(というより台所)全て共用で部屋にはテレビもありません。 周辺に温泉があったりするのでそちらに入って部屋では寝るだけ、と言うように割り切った方がいい。 また、周辺施設が1800にはほとんど全て閉まるので晩御飯は早めに食べるか用意しておきましょう。 一応前述の食堂でお金を出してセルフでカップ麺などが買えるようになってはいます。 ロケーション的には中禅寺湖の目の前で二荒山神社がすぐ近くにあり華厳の滝にも歩いていけるくらいなので、そう言う場所に行くための前泊に使うのが良いではないでしょうか。

The manager who met us was not friendly. I paid for a 4-person room and we were 3 people but I emailed about a 4th. His response was, “you paid for a 4-person room, it doesn’t matter if you have three or four people.” Then when we arrived and he saw we were four people, he said he misunderstood- he thought fewer people were coming, not more. Now suddenly it costs more for my 4-person room - he demanded $30 more on the spot. I paid, as it was late and I didn’t feel like finding another place. The room was sufficient but dusty and two of our party had difficulty sleeping due to repeated sneezes and runny noses that magically cleared up once they went outside. We opted not to use the showers and went down the street. Nothing was super dirty but not was it super clean - I wiped a layer of dust off the toilet back. The only really good thing about the place was the location right next to the lake. The manager/owner spoke a little English and the signs and instructions were in English. I wish I had stayed at one of the hostels at the bottom of the mountain, much friendlier and cleaner.
