Kanahan Ryokan

Located along the main street in the center of Tochigi City, it is convenient to go anywhere. The restaurant is only open during the day. The establishment dates back to the Edo period, and the building has a narrow frontage and a deep space called "eel's bed". There are about three six-tatami rooms on the second floor. The interior is neat and tidy, perhaps because it has been renovated. Unfortunately, there is no view from the window. Since it has a unit bath, even though it is a Japanese-style room, it has a strong business inn feel. There is an empty refrigerator in the room. The air conditioner is quiet, and you can't hear the noise from the next room, so I felt that they paid attention to soundproofing. There is a shared bath separate from the room, which can be used until 10pm. The unit bath in the room was really small, and I regretted not using it. However, it is not a large public bath. There are no convenience stores in the neighborhood, so I used the only vending machine in the building. The front entrance closes at 10pm, so after that I used the emergency exit at the back entrance. The breakfast was a mix of Japanese and Western cuisine and was half-baked. Dinner can be easily obtained from the food section of the nearby Tobu Department Store. Overall, it was neither good nor bad. The landlady was a very friendly and helpful person. Above all, the location was excellent. As an aside, there is a public bath near the Uwa River sightseeing boat dock, and the coffee at the cafe called "Baku" diagonally opposite is highly recommended. It was tasty and reasonably priced at 350 yen. Note that it is closed on Sundays.
