I stayed overnight without meals, and the hot springs were really nice, but the temperature control was poor and it got too hot at times, so I honestly didn't like the rooms and facilities.

The landlady is very personable, the atmosphere of the room is very nice, and most of all, the hot spring water that flows directly into the cypress bath is very nice. Yunohana was also floating. I want to come again.This is not recommended for those looking for the appearance of a luxury hotel.

The hot springs were especially wonderful.The proprietress was humble and said, ``It's just big,'' but both the indoor and outdoor baths were clean and comfortable, and it was a nice hot spring that you would want to soak in over and over again.Restrooms and washrooms are shared, and the rooms don't have the latest equipment, but the tatami mats and walls have been renovated, and the building is kept well-maintained, so everything is very clean. Of course, the bedding is fluffy.When I stayed there, I was worried because they said they only had room-only plans due to a staff shortage, but this is a wonderful hot spring inn that I hope will stay open for a long time.

As soon as we arrived, we went straight to the indoor bath! ...Is this a mountain lodge? The bathhouse is made of splendid cypress wood and has quite an atmosphere. The open-air bath looks small at first glance, but perhaps it's just an illusion, but when you actually soak in it, it feels spacious and mysterious.On this day, the indoor bath was a little hot but at a suitable temperature, and the outdoor bath was lukewarm, so you could stay in it for hours. Perhaps the source is different, the indoor bath smells like iron, and the outdoor bath smells like sulfur. In the open air, I was soaking near the hot sprue, so I was able to fully enjoy the smell of sulfur. Anyway, there is plenty of hot water. Because the water flows quickly, the quality of the spring water is always fresh. This luxurious hot spring was almost fully booked on the first day of a three-day weekend, but for some reason I was always able to reserve it for myself whenever I went.The meals are full of nourishing ingredients from the mountains and rivers, and are very satisfying in both quality and quantity. In addition, the rice was so delicious that I emptied the bowl both morning and evening.I spoke with the landlady, and she was a bit different from the image I had from the reviews; she was more intelligent and elegant. It didn't change my feeling of comfort, though.
