3/5
I stayed here for 2 nights without meals.The room was relatively large, but smelled of musty and there was no air conditioning, only one fan.There is a TV, refrigerator, and gas stove, but the inside of the refrigerator was so moldy and dirty that I didn't feel like using it unless I washed it completely.The floor is a tatami mat in a Japanese-style room, but I think it would be better to wipe it once with a rag.There were spider webs on the ceiling, so I cleaned them with a broom.Blood was coming out of the tap! The rust was so bad that I couldn't use it unless I left it out for a while.It was by far the dirtiest room I've ever stayed in.Even with the windows open, there was no wind coming in and it was quite hot, but it was a cool season and as long as you cleaned and ventilated it, it would be comfortable afterwards.The room was terrible, but the hot springs were great.There are four baths: a private bath, a mixed bath, a gourd bath, and a ramune bath (probably just the shape of the bathtub is different).There are two types of mixed bathing: a black, oil-smelling rare spring bath, and a pool bath with a faint sulfur scent.The black hot springs will make you feel like you are soaking in oil, and are irresistible to hot spring lovers.The pool bath was quite lukewarm, just a little lower than body temperature.A pool bath feels great on a hot day.It felt great to alternate between the black bath and the pool bath.No matter where you look in the country, this is the only inn that has the worst rooms and the best hot springs.There is a drugstore within walking distance, so I didn't have to worry about food.You'll also need cleaning tools.Also, be careful when using a washing machine when no one is using it, as red rusty water will come out, so if you suddenly put laundry in it and run it, it will be disastrous, so please be careful.

I visited as a drop-in hot spring (¥500). The hot spring was a very rare hot spring, but the environment was too deep for me.

As with other reviews, I cannot recommend it as an accommodation for modern people. However, I was surprised by the quality of the hot water, which seemed to make up for it. The building, which had been expanded several times, is said to have reached its peak of prosperity in the Showa era, when it was filled with hot spring spa visitors, but now... The meals were hearty and filling.

There were no female customers today, so I was asked to go wherever I wanted, so I took pictures of all the bathtubs early in the morning after making sure no one was there. However, the bathtub was half empty.⭐️The deduction is for the empty bathtub.The gourd bath that I woke up feeling dizzy about, and the luxurious time of soaking in the warm 4-stroke oil-scented bath with the morning sun gradually shining through the dual-sided lighting, was the best healing experience that I could not have experienced on a day trip😊

Hot springs are the best. However, the rooms are horrible. However, the price is low, so I gave it a 4. If you just stop by and take a bath, 5 is fine. If you don't mind dark stains in the toilet, rusty refrigerator, and rusty water, you can stay overnight.

I have used it several times for day trips only.I don't have the courage to stay overnight. Hot water is the best. The black bath is famous, but it's a mixed bath, so I don't think women should take it too slowly. However, there are many mixed baths in Higashi Naruko.Yes, the owner is a nice person, but the cleaning is not done properly.Even though I'm not a huge fan of beauty, I hesitate in many situations.In various places.Nervous people are likely to faint. I find myself wishing I could just vacuum the dust, spider webs, etc.Hmm, I guess it's difficult.The hot water is the best, so I hope it somehow survives. And I would say it's for enthusiasts, but I don't recommend it for people who imagine beautiful hot springs.

The ramune bath was a bit tiring, but I felt like it would be nice to go for a day trip (until 4pm) instead of staying overnight. As mentioned in other reviews, it seems like the rooms are not cleaned enough. It's full of dust. Those who knew about the family bath also knew that the drain was completely clogged, and the famous black bath was nothing like that. The Momiji bath is cleaner than before (the impact was that the changing room smelled like wild beasts), but the hot water was so strong that I was forgiven. I was happy with just Ramune.Unfortunately, the futon was given to me at breakfast, so I wish I could at least wait until check-out. The only good things I had were a filling meal and a friendly old man.The room is better than a self-catering room and does not have air conditioning. I think it would still have value if it was cleaned up in an old Showa retro style with a labyrinth-like room, but I couldn't get rid of the impression that it was just filthy, and it gave me a strong impression that it would just go out of fashion in the future, which is a shame. did.

The four sources, seven hot springs and hot springs are outstanding,Rather than saying that the building is old, it's a little disappointing that it's not well-maintained (there's storage space, dust, and spider webs everywhere. The water supply in the guest rooms of the hot springs building is a dark brown color mixed with rust...) and that it doesn't feel very hospitable. It was.I think it's good for enjoying hot water as an outdoor bath.Also, if you don't mind the above, I think it would be a good idea to stay and enjoy the hot spring treatment.(The water coming out of the hose in the family bath near the hot springs building is clear. However, I would have liked an explanation about that...)

I write honestly.It's a ruin. Even if it's old, it's fine if it's been cleaned, but it hasn't even been cleaned.Unidentified liquid in the communal refrigerator in the hallway? There is a lot of juice overflowing inside and not being wiped clean, which is unsanitary. The in-house hot spring is full of spider webs from the path leading to it.No. 1, there was no air conditioning in the room, the food was served inside, and the sashimi came with teppanyaki, so I cooked it through because it was scary. But...I'm too scared to write any more.

There are many better places to enjoy the atmosphere, but since I was a child I've always thought of hot springs here!Isn't the unique smell of black water addictive? The more you think, the better.

Used at day trip hot springs.The building itself seemed old and rickety, but the hot springs had a tremendous impact that surpassed that (lol)First of all, the hot spring itself is black or rather dark green in color, and the smell is amazing (lol).(I've never smelled it before; it smells like petroleum or rubber?)And a large amount of Yunohana, a hot spring ingredient, is floating like somen noodles (lol)There are also places that look like limestone caves, probably formed by the solidification of hot spring ingredients (lol).All I can say now is, ``It's kind of amazing.''Moreover, there are hot springs with different spring quality, so I feel like I got a huge advantage.The entire building seemed a little dirty, but as a hot spring lover, I didn't mind that and was able to take a bath in the best mood❗❗❗It's in my top 5 hot spring experiences❗However, the black bath is a mixed bath, so I think women should be careful.Also, be careful of the mysterious rubber smell that clings to your whole body (lol)I would like to come again someday❗

People who don't like the building's filth should not go there, but the quality of the spring water is unique.The inn is elderly and the building is in disrepair, so it could go out of business at any time, so if you're interested, you should go right away.

I would not recommend this inn for those who like hot springs, but for those who like clean hot spring inns with good facilities😅It has 4 types of natural hot springs, including black hot springs, and has a 120% satisfaction rating, ``This is the hot spring!'' I thought it was a hot spring meal due to the quality and reasonable pricing, but I was surprised by the luxurious and delicious food!?️I've been to over 10 places in Naruko Onsen and this is my favorite.

Kuroyu is the best. It's my first time to experience an oily hot spring that is not seawater. Did something like this happen? That's about it. Even if you put it on your face, it's great because there's no salt, so you won't get any stinging afterwards.The gourd bath also smells like oil, sorry, but it's the worst.Please clean it seriously. There were dead spiders and insects all over the place. It also floats in hot water. A real quick attack came out.Subtract 3.No, seriously, you can just drain the hot water and run it around.I felt sick

If you go there like you're sneaking into an abandoned hot spring inn and exploring, you won't have to worry about the mess.The bathroom really feels like an abandoned hot spring.Personally, I think it's the best part, but if you're a stickler, you might not be able to tolerate it.

A ryokan with unique hot springs that you won't find anywhere else. As the name suggests, the hot spring called Kuroyu is black and has an amazing tar taste. The hot springs are wonderful, but the buildings are retro and broken in places, so it's a bit scary. I used it for an overnight stay, but I also had a sinus infection and couldn't stop sneezing. It can't be helped that it's old, but I wish they would put a little more effort into cleaning it... It's a shame because the hot springs are amazing.

I visited you on a day trip.Anyway, the quality of the water is irresistible to hot spring lovers. I think it continues because there are people who are fascinated by this hot spring.The hot water is really hot. However, as others have written, honestly, it could close at any time. It's like a ruin, you can't enter, you can't throw away trash...There are a lot of visible things, so it's a no-no as an inn or lodging. However, the quality of the spring water is unmistakable.If someday the landlord becomes unable to continue, he should use whatever strength and sensibility he has as a young person to renew and continue. I feel that it is a treasure of Naruko Onsen, so I look forward to seeing what it will become in the future.
