The bath was good. However, I was really concerned about the sounds of running upstairs.

It was a quiet hot spring town, and there seemed to be several hot spring inns right in front of it. I could see the tattered and torn shoji screens through the windows. When I went to sleep at night, the sound of the river made it very hard to fall asleep. Reviews said the hot springs were slippery. As mentioned in the article, the food was very delicious and seemed to be available only at that time.Everyone had the same meal time.The thing that bothered me the most was that I travel about three times a year, but this was the first time I was asked to pay after dinner.The reason I was told was that I had to do some personal business and I didn't have time in the morning.I wonder if she said the same thing to the other people at the hotel.I think it was the landlady, but even though I stayed there on my wedding anniversary, I didn't feel well.

I used it at a day trip hot spring.The front desk staff was also kind and courteous. The surroundings are quiet and the hot water is clear and colorless, which is great!I don't know about the guest rooms, but the facilities, private baths, and large communal baths are very atmospheric and I felt very relaxed!

When I visited Yunotsuru Onsen several times, I saw Tsurusuisou, and when I looked at the reviews, it was highly rated, so I decided to stay at Tsurusuisou next time.There are family baths and large public baths for men and women, and you can apply for the open-air bath and receive a key to use it privately.However, you cannot use soap or shampoo in the open-air bath, so I finished bathing in the large public bath before entering.Both the large public bath and the open-air bath exceeded my expectations, and the rock structure of the open-air bath is particularly beautiful.The food is creative and delicious, served in stylish bowls, unlike the image of a ryokan.The room was well designed and comfortable, but I woke up several times because of the loud sound of the river next to me while I was sleeping.The parking lot is on the opposite side of the road, marked by a crane ornament and a red bridge.

I visited on a family trip.After hearing about Yunotsuru Onsen's reputation, I wanted to visit it and made a reservation.Personally, I like hot spring inns with fewer rooms, but this one was also very good. For me, the hot springs (as I mentioned in someone's post, my rough skin really cleared up in just one day), the delicious drinks, and the food were perfect. Although the room feels a little old, it is adequate. There is no refrigerator, but you can keep it at the front desk. Wi-Fi is only available around the front desk, but you can spend a luxurious time looking at the mountains and river from the window.We also recommend walking around the hot spring town and visiting the hot springs.
