When I went to a hot spring for the first time in a while, I found out that the time limit was 1 hour, and the price was high. It feels strange to be able to set the time even though it's a communal bath, not even a private bath. And the price had also increased by 200 yen. Since it was only an hour long, it would take quite a while to wash and dry my hair, so even though I was in a hot spring, I was worried about the time and ended up rushing into the bath. Furthermore, there is no place where you can drink water after you leave. There were no air conditioners or fans in the changing room, so I came out sweating and wanted to take a break on a chair in the lobby, but they asked me to leave right away, so I ended up leaving without taking a break, all sweaty. . What is this?It's a shame because the hot water is good.Is that the only kind of customer service they give to day-trippers? The hair dryer in the changing room was also unsanitary as there was a lot of hair falling down, and after doing something about it, why not use it for an hour and raise the price?I felt that the way they do business is by looking at the customer's behavior.

It's so deep in the mountain that I think I'll turn back halfway through.I was aiming for a municipal open-air bath, but it wasn't open, so I stopped by and asked if it was okay to take a bath, and they readily agreed. thank you very much.The water was quite hot, so it warmed my bones.

This is an inn that I've always wanted to stay at when climbing Mt. Ontake, but unfortunately I couldn't make a reservation last year, but this time I was able to make a reservation to coincide with the Dragon Eye season.There is a possibility that the parking lot at the trailhead will not be available at this time of year.Yes, I called the day before to see if they could cancel it, but they readily agreed to it, and they even took special care of me on the day of my stay, which was great even before I stayed!As per the reviews, all the food was delicious, the char was plump, the seasonal soup was so delicious that I wanted a second helping, and the hot pot was also good.The hot springs are also relaxing and you can take a bath anytime.

thank you for helping me.First, let's talk about access.If you are coming from the Takayama area, Google Navi will take you through Takemi Pass.On the forest road to the last trailhead when climbing a mountain.I'm going through a pretty rough road. I'm pretty used to mountain roads, but going through Dakemi Pass was one of the most difficult trips I've ever taken.If the road from National Route 361 towards Hiwada and Prefectural Route 463 via Chao Mitake is not closed, this route is the best, although it is a long detour. Alternatively, take Prefectural Route 435 from Akigami Onsen.The way to get there is via Chao Mitake, which is a pretty good road with spectacular views.On the way back, I looked at something scary, so I followed Google Navigation to Dakemi Pass.Prefectural Route 463 will be closed due to snow and ice.Google Navi showed that the road was closed, so I checked the road closure information in Gifu Prefecture and was able to pass.The inn is located in one of several Nigorigo hot springs.It was both a lodge and a petit hotel, and the hot springs and water quality were like a high-end inn.The slightly thick hot springs contain iron and are divided into several temperatures. It warms you up right away, so I went there 5 times during my stay!It was a truly luxurious time, as if I was going from the second floor of my parents' house to the first floor bathroom.The food is as everyone has said, so you can look forward to it.However, the overall taste was too strong for me, so I ended up drinking more alcohol (lol)I'm very satisfied.The customer base was mostly calm, and I don't think there were any people from overseas.thank you for helping me.

I went on a family trip and started soaking in hot springs from Gero Onsen. Nigorikawa Onsen Lodge has good accommodation, baths, and great food. Most of all, I was impressed by the owner's kindness and consideration. In the middle of a blizzard, my mobile phone signal went out in the mountains and my car was about to stop due to the snow, so when I was at a loss, someone came to pick me up in the mountains and saved me. I would like to repeat it again next winter. This is a highly recommended secret hot spring!

I headed from the Nakasendo area during the New Year holidays. There was a lot of snow on the way, so I was worried if I would be able to make it, but the master had informed me in advance that I would like to come with snow tires, so I managed to get there!I immediately took a hot spring bath in the evening and my body felt really warm!The food was well prepared and very delicious.It snowed overnight, and I drove home in the morning, nervous.I had some good memories.I want to go see nature in the summer too.
