おもしろい宿

周辺には飲食店もあり、便利でした。女将さんは丁寧に宿について説明してくれます。 広くはないですが簡単な自炊もできるし宿泊費もレンタルバイクも格安で、旅慣れた人には最適だと思います。

最安値でありながら　楽しく自炊も　できて　大満足できる　宿！！

私は　　昨夜　　ピーチに乗り、成田空港から　帰宅しました。 　2021年10月20_27日の7泊しました。 ここは、オーナーの２人が、 日々とても　熱心に　親身に　客が快適に旅を送れる様に 努力しているのが、ヒシヒシと感じられます。　 古くなった昭和時代の木造住宅を　 清潔に　隅々まで　創意工夫して　経営されてます。 ほとんどの客は　一泊で他の場所へ　移動されますが、 連泊すると、新しい　ＷIFIで　過ごしながら、 ここの居心地の良さが　更に実感して来ます。 　クレジットカードで支払いができる　格安の宿代＋＋格安のレンタル原チャリで　旅を楽しめます。 　 すぐ近くに　クレジットカードで支払い出来る スーパー、ダイソー、ファミマが　があり、 とても助かります。 加計呂間島への往復乗船券を買い　++昭和荘で　レンタル原チャリバイクを予約して 島遊びが　楽しめます・日帰りも可能です。 私は　７泊したので、　米を買って　魚屋で　地の魚の刺身を買って 　島の＠地の味噌＠を買って　ここで炊飯して 　長い夜を楽しめました。 １０月末なのに　海で泳げて、海亀も　見れて、 　マングローブ　トンネルを　くぐるカヌー遊びも出来て　嬉しかったです 現在コロナで　密を避けるため　2段ベットは　1人で両方使えます 。一室でマックス3人　計　最大6人泊まれます。 　私は何故か着いた夜　寒気に襲われ　毛布3枚　親切にも　貸して貰えました。 プラス　無料で　バスタオル1枚です　。 汗びっしょり💦かいて朝を迎えましたが　お陰で体調戻りました　。感謝感激ですねー。 ちなみに、この宿の真横のちっこい　マヂちっこい川　めちゃくちゃ浅いのですが　 あり得ないことに　デカイうなぎが７匹以上いる。嘘のようですが　いるんです。 　あと　海亀のいる　やどり浜は　昭和荘から　近くて　　とても　おすすめです　 凄いですよーずっと　遠浅で　深さ２ メートル以内。 、それでも　　水族館のように🐟🐠熱帯魚🐠🐠が　　うじゃうじゃ　いて　逃げないです シーサーという　可愛い犬がいますよ。
