I was quite shocked by the staff's bad attitude. Even though I came from far away, I felt like I had everything here.

I took a bath because I was told that day trip bathing was OK and there was a sauna.1 indoor bath, 1 open-air bath, 1 cold bath. saunaOverall, the facilities are well-equipped and clean, but everything is small, so it's hard to get in when it gets a little crowded. At the time of the photo shoot, it was early in the day and no one was there, but many people came later.We had to wait for the sauna (maximum of 4 people) and the cold bath (maximum of 1 person).However, today was a holiday, so it was crowded, but given the location, it might be okay on weekdays.Also, the Omi beef dishes seem to be reasonably priced, so you might consider staying there sometime.

We came with two adults, an elementary school student, and a toddler. Prices were reasonable. The food at the restaurant is good for adults with a lot of choices. I ate the lowest rank, but I was quite satisfied. Children, on the other hand, have fewer options. I was in trouble because I could only choose adults due to my age.

I visited the hot spring for the first time after researching it on the internet.It wasn't very big, but it was early so I was able to relax.There are many places around where you can play or take a walk with your family, friends, or even by yourself. It was a place I really wanted to enjoy camping and cottages. I would like to visit again 🎵

I used it at a day trip hot spring. The last reception is at 9:30 pm, which is helpful because it stays open later than other day-trip hot springs in the area. The bathroom wasn't that big, but there was a sauna and a cold bath, and the quality of the spring water was smooth and as advertised as a hot spring for beautiful skin. The location is deep in the mountains, so that's probably the only problem...

I used it for one night and two meals while touring Shiga with four classmates.I arrived a little late, but they had a parking spot for 4 large bikes, so I was able to park very comfortably. Thank you very much.The room was clean considering the price, and the food (night and morning) was delicious.The bathhouse also had an open-air bath and a sauna room, and the hot spring-like (probably underground water?) hot water wasn't persistent, making it a good value for money accommodation.

Although it is small, it has a hot spring.The shower had high water pressure and the hair dryer was very powerful, so it was very nice.The mattress in the guest room was a little thin, so I think it would be better to have a mattress.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of day trip bathers, and the bathtub was too small to take a relaxing bath.Omi beef for dinner was disappointing
