When we arrived at the inn, the host gave us a detailed tour of all the facilities at the inn. Although the building is undeniably old, it is well-maintained, and the facilities are not inconvenient, such as WiFi, LCD TV, new air conditioner, LED lighting in each room, refrigerator, washlet toilet, hair dryer in the common area. I also appreciate that the parking lot is on the first floor of the building and is covered. The spring quality is hydrogen carbonate spring. The open-air bath is larger than I expected, and the temperature of the water is controlled to a comfortable level. In the indoor bath, instead of a shower, there is a tank that pumps water from the bathtub, and you pour a mixture of spring water and mountain water at an appropriate temperature over your head. There is also a hot spring bath. There is soap provided but no shampoo. It's refreshing to wash your hair with soap once in a while. According to the owner, most of the customers are regulars. It's cheap at 3,800 yen/night for a room without meals, and I can understand why you'll become a regular if you come once.

Magnesium hydrogen carbonate spring.It's a salty white color with a slight salty taste.It's nice that the entire bath is covered in hot spring ingredients. It's my first time to wash my body by drawing water from a long, narrow sho.

I took a day bathThe entrance door is left open and faces the road, so you can come and go as you please, so keep your valuables to a minimum m(_ _)mThe water was quite hot! ! !Since there was no cold bath, I felt like I was going to get dizzy and went up right away, but since it's 300 yen (the price is only for the indoor bath), I think it's something like this.

The hot water was good ◎The guy at the reception looked like a yakuza and was scary.I was told that the hot spring indoor bath costs 300 yen per hour.Women spend a lot of time washing their long hair, removing makeup, washing their faces, and even using the hair dryer.It's not possible in one hour.Also, there was no shower in the washing area, there was only a hot spring source and it was hot.A style in which the hot spring water is drawn from a mini bathtub in a basin.It's hot and if you wash your face with this, your skin will become dry all at once.I used water from a hose, but the hose was slimy like an eel.Open-air bath is 500 yen per hour.No washing area, no shower etc.There is only one hot spring. There's no hair dryer either.I think you'll be fine once you get used to it, but it's quite difficult. The hot water in the indoor bath is labeled as a hot spring bath and seems to be effective for neuralgia.

[Used 2024.6.11]I knew that Kiraku Onsen was famous for its hot water, but I thought it would be nice to have a hot spring at the hotel I was staying at, but I heard from the lady at the cafe in front of me that she recommended it, so I decided to go there. Especially.A day trip to the hot springs costs 300 yen for just the indoor bath. If you like the open-air bath, it's an additional 500 yen.First, go to the reception area (in full view of piles of documents in the office) and then enter the hot spring entrance.When you enter, there are stairs between the men's and women's baths.When I tried to enter the women's bath, the door was left open. It's covered with goodwill, but...Immediately after entering the changing room. (It's scary because anyone can break in.) There are lockers for valuables, but you can't get your coins back. . Keep valuables to a minimum. .When you go to a hot spring, there is no shower, and the hot water comes out in a place like a washing area (I think this is also a hot spring), so you wash yourself with it. I was confused because it was so innovative.The water comes out of the faucet and you can scoop it up from there.Rich in iron, tea is everywhere! !It was so hot that I couldn't stay inside for even 30 minutes. .I think the day trip hot spring price is 300 yen, which is good value for money, but it is quite negative in terms of safety. .It's dangerous. . .

Even though I arrived late at night due to a flight, the service from the employee (male) was good, as he met me at the entrance and guided me to the car.The man showed me around the guest rooms and hot springs.The service is nothing short of amazing. ✌️
