The place is quite far for the town center in a road, so you have to take taxis o visit the town, or wait until someone f the hotel can give you a lift. …

It was an inn that felt like grandma's house lolBreakfast was delicious! !The room was also clean. The curtains were torn, but lol, it didn't really bother me. Are nervous people concerned? perhaps.I was very grateful for the transportation to and from Yugawara station during check-in and check-out.The bath felt so good ♨There was a cypress bath and a mandarin orange bath!The private open-air bath had a great atmosphere as well.There were 6 free drinks in the fridge 🥤Although it was old, it was just a normal inn.I would like to use it again when I come to Yugawara 💞Thank you for your help.

This is my personal opinion.There was a musty smell coming from the air conditioner, and when I opened the window, the handrails were rusty and the view was not good.Does it have the image of a Showa-era guest house?Generally speaking, it is not allowed to bring in food and drink, and if you wish to bring food and drink, you must apply. There seems to be a charge for that place... There are vending machines for drinks, and you can also buy local sake by calling the front desk. Cup ramen type was placed in front of the front desk. (Tourist prices. Please judge whether it is high or low by yourself.)As long as you don't have any picky eating habits, there should be no problem. Is the bath reserved for private use? If it's empty, you can use it, and you take off your slippers and lock the door from inside...Usually there's a cypress bath and a mandarin orange bath, and there's a large public bath for a fee? It seems that you can also rent it for private use.I was fine, but my wife was disappointed. I ended up complaining that it wouldn't happen again and trying to make myself happy lol

At the beginning of August, 20 students were traveling alone.When I came, I came by bus and on foot, but I was sweating because of the steep slopes that made me feel like I was in a mountainous area. If you don't have a car, you can also take a taxi, which costs about 1,000 yen.When I arrived, I was given a thorough guide and the room had a large window with a nice view. The photo is a view taken from the window.The room is ample size with futon bedding, a built-in refrigerator stocked with water, tea, juice, and low-malt beer, and Wi-Fi connection. For me, there is no better facility for relaxing.The bath was a hot spring, and each room was reserved for its own use, so I was able to relax and use it comfortably. I was able to refresh my body after being tired from the crowds at the Atami fireworks festival.I think it's a good accommodation. thank you very much.

It's a good old inn.I was looking forward to going there as the reviews were mixed.The rice was delicious and it was a good stay for us.There was a pot in the room with 2 liters of hot water, so I was very grateful!I also received the mandarin sake 🍶 and I am very satisfied.The bath was also reserved for private use, so I took my time in the bath without worrying about the people around me!

Approximately 5 minutes by free shuttle from Yugawara Station on the JR Tokaido Main Line, or less than 10 minutes by car from the Manazuru Road terminus.It is located on the Yugawara Orange Line.The small building has a retro Showa era exterior, and once you enter the building, you will be transported back in time.The hot spring is a ``mandarin bath'' that has been featured on various TV programs many times.The scent of citrus permeates throughout the large public bath.Although it is a large public bath, it can be locked and reserved for private use.The important dinner was in a corner room, a private room for each group, so you could enjoy the mountain and city views.I enjoyed the scenery and food from the time of the sunset to the time of the night view.There are 7 to 8 types of sashimi on a large bowl of sashimi.The freshness is excellent, and the slices are thick and filling.Eggplant gratin, ceramic grill, and other eggplant meat miso and several small side dishes.The food and taste were simple, nothing special, but it was a satisfying dinner.

I've never been there, but I called to ask about a room with an open-air bath, but when I answered the phone at the time, I thought it was impossible. It was high pressure and I was very irritated. She sounds like an old woman in her 50s or 60s. Why do they act in a way that makes consumers worry like this? After I called, I felt very uncomfortable. Is that the only way you can talk? That's what it feels like.Even after reading the many reviews, I thought it was a good idea to just ask questions and not make a reservation.I have to look for a place to stay in Yugawara soon for my hobby of walking the Tokaido, but I decided not to stay here.First of all, in addition to their attitude, I don't understand why they charge 10,000 to 20,000 yen for accommodation and don't give you refills of rice.I was disappointed in the story about a male clerk entering a female customer's room without permission.It's stupid to pay for a hotel like this.That's the kind of attitude you'd expect from a hotel manager.Will definitely not be staying there again.

Thank you for staying with me for 2 nights and 3 days this holiday. It's a very old building, and although the bathroom in the room was nice, it was a very small room for 4 people. On the first night, we were treated to a wonderful boatload of food, but the pickles were so salty that they stung our throats. Also, the food on the second night was the same. My impression is that anything other than sashimi is not delicious. Also, it felt like I was renting the room without any amenities for the second day, and although I was able to borrow a bath towel, I was not given a towel. Anyway, it's a shame all around. It's not worth more than 20,000 yen per night.Also, you are not allowed to bring your own food, so you have to buy it from a small vending machine near the bathroom. If you bring it in, you will be asked for money. There is also a limited amount of refills for rice! I ended up apologizing even though I only had one blow. Definitely not recommended.
