I went there at the invitation of a friend who is a regular visitor [35 to 6 times a year], and although the building is a little old, the staff, service, and dinner were beyond flattering.I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Even though the price is reasonable, the dinner is relatively luxurious.Soaked in the hot springs and relaxed.The bed was a little old and felt a little worn out.It seems that Wi-Fi is only connected in the lobby, but it would be helpful if a relay router was installed and Wi-Fi was connected to the rooms as well.

I used it at a day trip hot spring.It seems that there is also a bathing plan that includes lunch.I only used it for bathing.At first, I got the impression that local people often use it. Unlike the nearby Kamasaki Onsen, the spring quality is colorless and transparent. Although the facilities here are old, they are very clean and I felt very comfortable taking a bath. The open-air bath is small, but you can relax in the lukewarm water. It was a good hot spring.thank you very much.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but I have no problem recommending it to people who want to enjoy a convenient and reasonable hot spring experience.Although it is an old hot spring that still remains because of its location, it is often used by locals.And it is a valuable hot spring that I hope will remain in the future.The food is not luxurious, but it is delicious.I don't particularly praise it, but I would be in trouble if I didn't have it.Hot springs like this are sure to become even more valuable in the future.
