It can accommodate up to 4 people, and the bedding (urethane floor mattress, sleeping bag, blanket, pillow, 4 sets of inner sheets) includes a sleeping bag, so you can also enjoy the feeling of camping.

Reservations for this facility are accepted for 3 paying guests, but you can also book for 1 or 2 guests by paying for 3 guests. ◎ About Ikkenkan It is a quiet and elegant inn surrounded by rich nature. The old house, which originally had a tea room, was renovated in the first year of the Reiwa era while retaining the good old features. Each room is nostalgic and calming. In addition, we are particularly particular about the bath, and in addition to the hot spring bath, the bathtub made of cypress, the walls, etc. are luxuriously made like a hot spring inn made of Aomori cypress. As soon as you open the door, you can smell the cypress, so please come and relax from your daily fatigue. There is a beautiful stream behind the house, and you can pick wild vegetables such as watercress. I hope you can spend a luxurious time "doing nothing" that you can't experience in the city.
