温泉民宿 美湯香

2023. Early December. My husband and I visited here.I was a little scared after reading all the reviews, but I have a preference for not going. . . . Thank you for staying with me for one night.Room: 4 and a half tatami, too small for two people (I can't help it). Even though it's a Japanese-style room, the tatami is covered with a long-haired rug and a thin rug (Isn't it okay to just leave it as tatami?). The room has a sliding door with a simple key, and the outside key is a padlock. There is a gap at the edge of the sliding door, so I don't think anyone is there, but if I look in, I can see it.Only the sheets on the futon looked like they had been washed at home. Leave the comforter and pillowcase as is. There is a small TV and only one outlet available. Smoking allowed.Bath: Enough bath for two people. There are steps on two sides. 1 shower, 2 showers. The water pressure in the shower was sufficient, but the temperature was set too low. They said it was set at 42 degrees Celsius, but it felt like it was lower than that. The water is fed directly from the source, but the first time you check in, the temperature is lowered by adding so much water that it doesn't warm up at all. Feels like 39 degrees Celsius. We were told not to touch the tap at the source, so we held back and came out cold. The second time around 4:30 I got revenge, this time it felt good, 44 degrees Celsius. However, if you open the source faucet too much in the front and leave it that way, a hot water bath will be created. It's quite difficult. If the temperature is right, it is a nice hot spring typical of Yugawara. There were about four types of shampoo bars, all of them expensive brands.Food: Home-cooked and not bad. The sashimi is very fresh. Quantitatively, it wasn't enough for me.Service: I think everyone's tastes are different, but they try their best. I was impressed.I think it's a good hot spring inn when there are no other guests who lower the temperature too much with the jittery water. It takes a lot of patience though.

The room is not as spacious as a private house, and the bath is attached to the room.I wanted to see an old pioneer's house because I could enter and exit from a drum can through a low window in the waist wall.I was told that this room was a deluxe room. The accommodation is so bad that I don't want to go there even if I get paid.

⭕️Good pointsYou can enjoy the free-flowing hot springs for private use.❌What I didn't like1. Jalan explained that they would pick me up if I let them know the nearest bus stop in advance, but they refused the day before.2. As mentioned in other reviews, the inside of the building is smelly.It gets tougher on the lower floors.Combined with the smoke from the mosquito coils used to repel insects, the smell was amazing. The smell is thought to be caused by the presence of carpets with long piles, but it is probably just a hobby of the host.3.I first heard at check-in that you are not allowed to bring in drinks. There is only one shared refrigerator, and there are no vending machines inside or outside. Customers are required to self-report what is in the refrigerator. It's a situation where no one benefits.4. Tempura for dinner is also similar to fritters.Unfortunately, the steak had too strong a buttery smell. Combined with the smell of the building, I couldn't appreciate it.summaryI wasn't expecting anything other than a free-flowing hot spring, but I was disappointed that the smell was more of an issue than I expected, and that the food didn't suit my tastes.I've stayed at many guesthouses, but this is the first time I've wanted to check out so early.From now on, I plan to avoid places with reviews related to odors.I gave one star to an inn that smelled even on my clothes, even after subtracting the hot spring water.

Although it was quite a rare hotel, the hot springs and food were decent. The cleaning has not been done properly, and there is a faint smell of dust, mold, and bacteria from failed washing.
