We stayed for 1 night in May 2023 to do the Mt Haguro pilgrimage walk. It's a wonderful old style japanese inn run by a very friendly couple. We booked half-board and were treated to an excellent japanese evening meal and breakfast. There are shared bathroom facilities which were fine. There's a handy car park across the road from the inn. Highly recommended.
