The modern Japanese style room was stylish, had a nice view from the room, and was comfortable. The private bath in the facility was especially beautiful and I was able to enjoy the hot spring water. The hot water was nice and made my skin and hair smooth and moist. I think people who are concerned about their beauty will especially enjoy this book, which includes information on how to take a bath and tips for 100 tatami attacks. In addition to this, I was impressed by the hostess's thoughtfulness and the staff's response, and I was able to have a good time.

The room is small and you only have to take a shower without a lock, so it's not suitable for craftsmen.

I used a dormitory.I brought a set of amenities.The only amenities provided were a face towel and a toothbrush.I was able to use a private bath for an additional 1,000 yen, so of course I took advantage of that.I had the valuable experience of filling a bathtub with hot water and massaging it to create a hot spring.The bathroom was clean and stylish in a Western style.Because it comes from a source, it feels very slippery.

Anyway, their commitment to hot springs is amazing! I come to Gero Onsen every year, and it was the most relaxing experience I've ever had, and I was surprised not only by the explanation of its efficacy, but also by the concept of ``creating a hot spring.'' I visited with my family, and even my 2-year-old son was treated warmly.Recommended if you enjoy hot springs!

Used in mid-MayIt was an old building that was renovated, so it looked beautiful, but there was a strong smell that was typical of old buildings, so I didn't feel very relaxed.ID required at check-inA thief broke into the hotel recently, so when you stay at the hotel, you will be asked to fill in your personal data (address, name, phone number, date of birth) and show your ID (regardless of Go To).good pointsThe quality of the hot spring water is good and your skin will be moisturized.Free 2 liters of pet water, bread with cheese cream, and drip coffee are provided in the room.I can see the river from my roomYou can also access the attached restaurant via the hallway.There is a relaxing space behind the front desk, with a microwave, toaster, and kettle.Bad pointsbathThe public bath was unavailableThe private bath is large and cold.Self-filling the hot water called Yumomi experienceThe drain hole in the bathtub to prevent hot water from overflowing is located about halfway into the bathtub, making it difficult to submerge your entire body in the water up to your shoulders.The bathtub is spacious but there are no grab bars.The dressing room is also in the same room as the bath, so I put my clothes in garbage bags to prevent them from getting wet, but it's quite a hassle.roomThe room smells like an old buildingSince the room is near the front desk, you can hear the BGM from the front desk all the time.No Wi-FiI don't have tissues
