It's actually a minshuku, i.e. a simple rustic accommodation. The room I was given was spacious and clean, the bed (futon) was really comfortable, and it is a very quiet area so sleep quality is good. I was welcomed with a pot of green tea, an orange and a little chocolate snack which was nice. However, on the negative side, it's an old place and every movement you make can be heard throughout the building, it's a little embarrassing. There was no hot water working in the basin area, the toilet seat element was broken so the seat was freezing - I nearly jumped out of my skin every time I sat down, and the overhead room light was broken. There is absolutely nothing in the way of food, shops, convenience stores, restaurants etc in walking distance, so if you don't have a car you have to ask the owner for a ride to get something to eat. Not at all convenient. The nearby onsen is good, but expensive, and again you have to ask for a ride to get there and to get picked up. I would not recommend this place to someone who likes to be independent. On the other hand for tourists new to Japan it might be nice, because it is authentic and old, has character and the owner speaks good English (and Korean). If you're accustomed to Japan you'll find this place to be comfortable...It's actually a minshuku, i.e. a simple rustic accommodation.
