``Ren'' is next to Hananoyu.You have to make your own futons, there is no bathroom, and there is no elevator, but you can use the hot springs and food from Hananoyu, so if you think about it, is it a good deal? So I went to stay the night.However, when I went there, the room was completely different from the one in the photo, and it was completely like a guesthouse. Even the hallways are in disrepair.Also, I was surprised at how strong the smell of chlorine or something was in all the baths at Hananoyu.It said that it was fed directly from the source, but...?Especially in the open-air bath in the east building, the smell of chlorine was obvious and disgusting. Also, the shower only had water.Also, as soon as I opened the door to the indoor bath in the east building, there was a strange, pungent smell that I couldn't stand.However, since I couldn't take a bath in the open-air bath, I wanted to at least warm up in the indoor bath, but the smell was so pungent that I couldn't stand it, so I took a quick dip and went right back up.As soon as other customers entered, they said, "Wow! What? It stinks!" and immediately left. .Of course the shower at the front desk is broken. I was told that there was a strong pungent odor.Afterwards, take a private bath.The private bath was nice and warm, but the hot water made my skin squeak, which was strange. My partner also said, ``The hot water in this bath makes your skin feel so soft, it's more than smooth.''After that, I took a bath on the fourth basement floor.Then he discovered chlorine.I was surprised to see that there was a lot of chlorine-like substance in it, as shown in the photo.I've been to a lot of hot springs, but I was surprised because I'd never seen something so obvious like chlorine.(See second photo. I took this photo when no one was around)It's a little too unlikely...The food was varied and delicious.

I don't know about the annex because it was vacant and they changed me to the main building.

For hot springs, meals, and reception other than accommodation, use Hananoyu in the main building. The connecting passageway is covered, but it's outside so it's cold in winter. There is a smoking room next to the main building side of the connecting passage, so it smells pretty bad if there are smokers. No 3rd floor elevator. The room is a Japanese-style room, and you can lay your own futon. The toilets are Western-style and shared. It's a little cold, including the aisles. Everything feels old, but if you're just staying the night, there's no problem.

Used at the end of OctoberIt was about 14,000 yen per person.The room didn't have a toilet or bath, but there was a shared toilet right after leaving the room, so it wasn't a problem.There are three types of large public baths, so you don't have to worry about not having one in your room.Check-in was from the reception of Hana no Yu.The best part is that you can enjoy unlimited wine and non-alcoholic drinks in the lobby.The room was clean and the staff were very friendly, so I would like to stay here again.One thing I would say is that the indoor bath was a little cold.

This is an annex to Hana no Yu. If you go up the stairs to the second floor, you will find a Showa era guest room. communal toilet smellsThere is an indoor bath at Hana-no-Yu, a hot large (medium) bath, a lukewarm mountain-side open-air bath where men and women can alternate, and a river-side open-air bath with plenty of hot water. This is a salty hot spring far from the sea. It has become one of the best venues for buffet cuisine where each item is carefully selected. 30 minutes walk to Saichi, a housewife shop. In search of the famous ohagi

I stayed there on the first Sunday since the start of the nationwide travel support program.It is natural for accommodation facilities to fluctuate in price in proportion to demand, so it is inevitable that all accommodations will be upgraded to support specifications.However, I think that Akiu Onsen is reasonably priced and friendly for solo travelers.Here's my opinion based on staying alone.Although there are many complaints about the inconvenience and the age of the facilities, the cost performance seems to be quite good in terms of market price.If you are worried about your room, you can use the facilities of Hananoyu other than your room, so you can mainly spend your time in the bath on the Hananoyu side, or if you use the separate toilet, you can use it in between baths and meals. It doesn't really bother me if I clear it up.At the extreme, it's like using the room only while sleeping.After soaking in the morning bath starting at 5:00 AM, we spent a little over an hour before breakfast, and were able to relax and watch the changing sunrise from the east side of the riverside open-air bath.Buffet-style dinner and breakfast options can be expanded.At dinner, if you skip the meat sauce next to the pasta and mix in the nearby oyster ajillo, you can almost customize it to the style of ``Aglio Olio Peperoncino''.The red sea bream sashimi set with carpaccio can also be made into ``tai chazuke'', which is eaten with rice and soup stock.If you use it wisely, you can have a satisfying time.This time, the price is 9,000 yen under and comes with a 3,000 yen coupon, and at the end of last year, when demand was low due to corona precautions, it was 6,000 yen under and came with a 2,000 yen coupon.I'm actually grateful for the fact that I'll be staying alone in both of these rooms.If you are a family or multiple people, we recommend using Hananoyu.

A large hotel with a nostalgic atmosphere, passing by the flashy Zuiho. The best is the open-air bath along the river with a spout that looks like a waterfall. The hot water is a good hot spring sourced from our own source. Even more sanitary measures are taken. For day trips, discount days are a good deal.

I stayed in the annex in the snow, but it was a crappy apartment. Even though I went to the hot springs, there was snow on the path leading to the annex, which made the bath cold.

Since it is an annex to Hana-no-Yu, you will use Hana-no-Yu's facilities except for your room.Although the rooms are older and a little further away than the rooms in the main building, they are also cheaper.There are some old parts such as doorknobs, butImportant areas such as plumbing and toilets have been renovated. The toilet was in the room.The toilet looks clean, but there may be a bit of a strong smell...if you ask me, it might be there.It's reasonably spacious and cheap, so I'm generally satisfied.
