I can't go too far during summer vacation, so I decided to stay nearby after reading reviews.As you continue along the river towards the mountains, you will find a place that goes down along the river.When you look at the exterior, it looks old and run down, but the lobby, hallways, and guest rooms have been renovated and are very clean, modern, and very easy to use.The food has a lot of variety and is more expensive than the price.Beautifully made too.All the staff were very kind. The bathroom had also been renovated and was clean and comfortable.

In recent years, I have been a repeat customer, using them 3 or 4 times a year. When I used a Western-style room with a kitchen two months ago, I wrote a questionnaire expressing my regret that Wi-Fi signals could not reach the room and that I was unable to use the internet connection function of the large TV installed in each room due to the renovation.I was surprised that it was resolved this time. I was impressed by the high level of hospitality.Other people have commented on the quality of the hot springs, the private baths that are open at night, the seasonal cuisine and hospitality, and the pleasant greetings and thoughtfulness of the employees.For us, an elderly couple, this hot spring treatment facility is indispensable for rehabilitation of our legs and lower back.

The type of hot spring that clings to your skin warms your body. Makes your skin smooth.Does it look okay? I was a little worried, but it's been cleaned up.There is a river flowing under the room and the air is nice.There was also a bath (hot spring) in the room, so I took a bath many times...lolThere are 3 free private baths, and we have completed these as well.The amount of food was just right.It was easy to eat in your room and not have to move 😊There was a heated pool behind the three private baths.It's also good to use with children.I liked the quality of the hot springs and the room, so I would like to visit you again! !However, if you want to be selfish...Bag for going to the bath (contains public bath goods)Kinchaku? However, I thought it would be useful if anything was possible.Next time I will bring a smaller travel bag 🤣All in all, it was a really relaxing, quiet and nice inn.

Great location, attentive service, and although it has a history, it has been beautifully renovated and I felt very relaxed. After all, hot water with a pH of 10 is moist, and it feels like a film is forming on your body. The indoor bath also uses hot spring water to constantly maintain a constant temperature. The open-air bath and family bath are also wonderful! The food was just right, not too much and not too little. From my personal point of view, the only thing that bothered me was the spider web... This can also be said to be the scenery. I'm in the mountains, so I'm fully aware that this is normal. However, I think it would have been better if you could remove items that can be easily removed with a stick when cleaning. Other than that I was very satisfied. This is an inn that I would definitely like to visit again.

Friendly staff, spotless baths. Water flows calmly from the shower and there is no need to press the pedals. You can wash yourself calmly. Body soap has a pleasant smell and consistency. The onsen is priced accordingly, not expensive. Free parking, no crowds in the baths. And, of course, great bath water that leaves your skin smooth.

We stayed as a family of 4 with children.First of all, we arrived around 1:00 pm and were kindly guided to a private parking lot, where we enjoyed playing in the nearby Nakagawa River until check-in at 3:00 pm (there is a point where you can play in the river right from the parking lot).After checking in at 3pm, I used the family bath to warm up my body after playing in the river. From 14:00 to 20:30, you can reserve a family bath at the front desk (after 21:00, if there is space available). What I was really happy about was that there were three family baths. The whole family enjoyed it at different times. There aren't many inns that have such a comprehensive family bath, so I'm very satisfied.Then off to dinner. Both the sashimi and the bowl were very delicious. The children also ate a lot.The next day, we played in the river and had fun until the last minute before check-in. Anyway, it's a hotel with a nice bath, so I'd like to come again!!

This was one of our first stops during a 3 week trip to Japan. Me and my boyfriend both have tattoos which was nonissue here. The food is was good and the hot springs were amazing. We were able to reserve private hot springs and they prepared our futons for us during dinner. The location is very rural but we were able to get a shuttle to the resort the same day. The town that it’s located in is amazing and I definitely recommend exploring the area. We are at the end of our trip and this was by far my favorite location.
