I used it for my birthday.First of all, I would like to thank the president and all the other employees.I was able to spend a relaxing time immersing myself in various hot springs at this historic inn.The reason for the high reviews is the high level of hospitality.As others have said in their reviews, there are definitely some concerns.However, these were canceled out by the spirit of hospitality.The 17th president of the company personally attended to customers, dressed in a crisp suit despite his age, and helped carry our luggage.In addition, his customer service is also charming, as he often engages in playful conversations.There was an accident in which the public bath had to be reserved for other guests, but I was impressed by the president himself visiting each room and apologizing.Lastly, when we were picked up and dropped off at the bus stop, the president himself delivered the cosmetics that my wife had forgotten to the bus stop.As mentioned above, this trip made me realize once again that the relationships between people can greatly move the heart.Afterwards, there were cats around the inn, which was a source of comfort.Recommended for those who want to relax quietly.I would like to go again.

I went there after watching the YouTuber 'Yuuki' and stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights.1. Room conditionIt is an old building with about 15 rooms inside. The room I received was called Wisteria. It was divided into three areas: the entrance, main room, and veranda (with sink). The heater is oil-type and there is no hair dryer inside the room, so you have to use it in the bath on the first floor. The room was a tatami room, but because it was old, the soundproofing was not good.2. MealThe staff told me that every meal had a different side dish every day, and except for some salads and vegetables, every day was a different meal. It was a luxurious meal with memorable foods such as natto, Sendai beef, kingfish, etc. The amount was just right for an adult male to eat.3. Hot springsThere are three hot springs in Yusaya.-Outdoor open-air bath: This is an outdoor bath that can be used only once per night for 30 minutes. You will be called to your room on time and will arrive in 2 minutes on foot. It was a private open-air bath that could be used that way. I think you can have a good experience as long as you're careful that it gets chilly at night.- Hot springs inside the ryokan: Men’s and women’s baths change depending on the time. The moment I entered the eel stew, I could feel my skin becoming slippery.-Public bathhouse: When you leave the ryokan, it is a public bathhouse on the right. If you get a ticket at the counter, you can use it unlimitedly.4. The restThe staff are all very friendly. I think the fact that he came to meet me until I left and drove me to Naruko Onsen Station on time even though it was raining kept me in my memory until the very end. thanked.

I was looking around for a place to stay at Naruko Onsen and found an inn where I could stay by myself!Apparently you can enjoy a variety of hot springs.The hot water you take is the baking soda line at the inn, the sulfur spring in the public bath next to it, and the weak alkaline bath in the private bath on the top of the hill.I'm happy to add a variety of things.Personally, I liked the sulfur springs the most.The staff at the store were also very kind.The private baths on the hill are decided in the order of check-in, so if you want to get in early, check in early.Dessert was prepared in the room and I was treated very well, so I felt sorry for the situation.The quality of both dinner and breakfast is perfect!I was surprised that the salad for dinner was served in spring rolls and could be eaten as is.Seri nabe is also delicious!There was quite a lot in the morning, especially the natto, which was homemade rather than packaged natto. I was surprised to see that the natto was quite decent.I'm surprised the quality is so highPayment is also possible by cardIf there is only one drawback, it would be that there is no toilet in the room, so you have to use the nearby communal toilet.Well, that's common in old inns.I highly recommend this inn!

Visited in mid-February. The whole area is filled with the smell of sulfur, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. There were many stray cats around.Sulfur-containing sodium-sulfate, hydrogen carbonate, chloride spring. The indoor baths have a large bathroom and a narrow bathroom, and the baths are switched between men and women only once a night. The open-air bath is private and reservations are required.The water was lukewarm at around 38 degrees Celsius in the cold weather, which was unexpected.You can enter the adjacent public bath for free. The water here is quite hot and you are asked to wait about 30 minutes before getting up.
