The room that assigned to me was twin room with TV, NHK was showing, refrigerator, shower and toilet, clean towels. My iPhone detected Wi-Fi, but I did not ask that it is for guests or not.

There is a super market run by Iguaz Agricultural Cooperative near by. You can find some Japanese foods, for example rice cultivated in Igazu Colonial. Before the supermarket you will pass by a park with red color shrine gate, Torii.
