I stayed with Yohei and his team at the Dake onsen and it was a fantastic experience. Most noteworthy was the food. Our stay included breakfast and dinner. The breakfasts were the BEST I've experience in any Ryokan in Japan! (I've made 6 trips skiing over the years). Lots of interesting little dishes, and very authentic. I was very happy with my stay. If you like to eat, try this place!

2024/9/30I stopped by and enjoyed the hot springs. Adults: 400 yen. After visiting this hot spring resort, we completed all the hot spring bathing around Mt. Iwaki. It is probably one of the oldest establishments in Take Onsen.The manager of this hot spring may not like hot springs and baths very much. The shower was weak, two shower hooks were broken, the garbage can was filthy, and the water was lukewarm...something that would never happen in my own home. I would be happy if the broken parts were repaired immediately and people would feel more comfortable coming in. Moreover, this is a place where many people come to visit every day. It doesn't matter if you repair it tomorrow or next month, the cost will be the same. Even if you're not an equipment contractor, if you like baths and want to keep them clean and take good care of them, I'm sure even an amateur can do the repairs and maintenance that are possible, so please do your best.Each hot spring in Take Onsenkyo has its own characteristics and is unique.

I used it for a day trip for 400 yen for adults. This is a hot spring that is working hard even though the surrounding areas are closed! It is a very good self-spouting hot spring with two types of hot water, lukewarm and hot water! Bar soap and conditioner shampoo (maybe?) are available. There is also a hair dryer! The shower and faucet are quite slow.The bath isIt's on the second floor and you can take the stairs or elevator!The inn was beautiful!

2024.6.24 Before 14:00 Day trip hot spring useAdult 400 yenAn old inn.When you enter, a chime rings and a male staff member appears from the back.The bathhouse is on the second floor.There are no lockers for valuables in the changing room.2 washbasins. 1 hair dryer.There are 4 bathing areas and washing areas.Shampoo and soap included.The shower is an automatic stop type.There are 2 baths. Hot and warm.Basically, the warmer one is used.After your body warms up, try the hot one.It went up right away. It's like a punishment game unless you're good at hot water.hot water.Pale appearance.It has a hydrogen sulfide scent, but it's not too strong and mild.I don't notice any chlorine smell.The wooden bathtub looks powdery due to the turbidity of the water.Does it look white due to dissolved carbon dioxide?Maybe it's because of the cloudiness, but my skin feels smooth.First customer 1, second customer 3.For a while, I felt like I had it all to myself.Although it is in Hirosaki City, it is quite far from the city center, and is a secluded hot spring village with a quiet atmosphere.Maybe it's flowing directly from the source?Although it is far away, you can enjoy a real hot spring for just 400 yen.Recently, there was news of a long-established hot spring inn in Iwate that was unable to be taken over and closed down, and in order to prevent a similar situation from happening, we all need to support each other.

Take Onsen Kojima Ryokan (day trip)The right one is moderate temperature, the left one is lukewarm water. I decided to visit this hot spring as it was the only one in the area. And I'm grateful that there is lukewarm water available. The inn that was featured in the famous hot spring book was closed due to the hot springs in this area temporarily drying up. In addition, there are many unique facilities nearby, and competition is tough. The hot water uses and feels wonderful. ph2.15Spring quality: Acidic/sulfur-containing calcium-chloride spring(Hypotonic acidic high temperature spring)Please feel free to use it.Take Onsen Kojima Ryokan20 Tokiwano Yunosawa, Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture 036-1345

I used the day bath.400 yen per person. I was able to do a solo hot spring bath on a weekday afternoon.The bathroom is on the second floor, accessible by stairs or elevator.There are two bathtubs, one with hot water and one with lukewarm water.It's about 40℃ and 42℃ respectively.The water is a light greenish milky white. Although it is a sulfur spring, the smell was not too strong and the water was soft. The hot water was amazing and I was able to experience its high effectiveness. Even after getting up, I felt refreshed and the water was nice.

I visited for a day trip to the hot springs. There are five of us, three children and my husband. As soon as we entered, the landlady greeted us, and as soon as she saw the children, her expression changed and she said, ``We have a lot of customers today.Here, please take a look at the shoe box.'' There weren't many shoes in the shoe box. The two men passed through normally...There was a strong atmosphere of wanting to go home, so I went home, but I will never go there again. I think there is a problem in the customer service industry. It's a shame because the hot spring situation is very good. I don't think I can give it even one star.
