Kanaya Ryokan

I stayed there with my son without meals when I returned home for a memorial service. Being a local, I knew the name of the inn, which was a bit quaint, but by chance there was a cancellation, so I decided to stay there. The rooms have a very old feel and elegance, and you can hear the fresh greenery and the chirping of the yellow-spotted bulbul from the window, making it a nice inn. The room has a toilet and sink. Both rooms are well-cleaned and the futons are comfortable to sleep on. The only disappointing thing about the room was that it was on the second floor, but there was another room next to it, and the walls were thin, so it was very noisy, so I wanted it to be quiet at night. It's worth taking a bath at least once. The cypress bath was spacious and had a great atmosphere. There were only two showers in the washroom, which was a bit inconvenient. There is no hair dryer or mirror in the changing room, so you can use the hair dryer in the sink in your room or in the hallway. There is a small cafe nearby near Rendaiji Station, and we took out bread and coffee from there for breakfast and ate it in our room. There is a 100 yen store, a home center, and a convenience store within a short walk around the inn. I went to a high school near here, and I was surprised to find myself staying at Kanaya Ryokan at my age. I feel very nostalgic and plan to take a leisurely stroll around the area the next time I return home. Of course, after the walk, we took a bath in the 1000-year-old bath.
