Wakatake

Important! After getting off the JR train, do not go downstairs! Go directly over the railway from the overpass and then down the overpass! After exiting the station and going downstairs, follow the navigation, which will lead you to cross the railway from the ground intersection, which is at least 800 meters more unnecessary!

A traditional Japanese-style family hotel with public toilets and hot spring pools. The restaurant on the second floor is an izakaya in the evening. It is a 2-minute walk from the station, which is very convenient.

Since we had to leave early the next morning, we chose a plan that only included dinner. In the evening, the staff are busy preparing dinner, so check-in is required by 17:45. Parking is available around the inn. You can find it if you go near it. It is also close to the station, so you can access it without a car. The inn kindly provided us with two 4.5 tatami rooms. Smoking is allowed. The bathroom and toilet are shared. The room had the bare necessities, including a hair dryer. A one-push mosquito repellent spray was also provided. Dinner is served in two sessions, at 18:00 and 18:30, and you can choose whichever you prefer. We chose the most popular plan for dinner, but the portions were extraordinary. It was all seafood, with many rare small dishes such as tuna innards. We tried our best, but it was difficult to finish 100%. The taste was excellent. The bath was a hot spring. It was a very satisfying inn. I recommend it to those who like seafood, such as tuna. The volume of the dinner was less than 10,000 yen per person, which is great value for money. I think the dinner alone is worth about 30,000 yen. However, it would be best to have a light lunch on the day of your stay.

It was clean and stylish. The place felt new overall, was well-cleaned, and the cleaning staff were cheerful and friendly, so I was able to spend a pleasant time there. Due to budget constraints, I chose the lodging without meals, but when I checked in, there was a nice smell in the air, and I regret not having booked the meal-included room. I can easily imagine that delicious food would be served. On the other hand, while there was a large shared refrigerator in the lodging without meals, it was disappointing that there was no microwave.
