The rice is delicious. Needless to say, the hot springs are also nice. This is a sacred place that I found at Owani Onsen. I can't take a long bath, but I'm always impressed by the fresh hot water.I was so sad when I found out when I checked out that the Wi-Fi was out.

4 washing areas, 1 hot water. The hot and tangy water never gets cold. The atmosphere is small and relaxing. Shampoo, body soap, and hair dryer provided. Since it is a guesthouse, it has all the necessary facilities. There are health equipment, table tennis tables, soft drink vending machines, and even beer vending machines, making you think you'll feel better if you come here for a hot spring treatment.

The building and rooms were old but clean.Initially, I was planning on staying one night with two meals included, but since I was going to see the cherry blossoms at Hirosaki Castle, I asked if it would be possible to check in later because I wanted to see the cherry blossoms at night, and they said, "Well, since we're here, why don't we have dinner in Hirosaki?" ” and they kindly suggested changes to the plan.Unfortunately, he seemed to have forgotten about it, so on the day he called me and asked, ``Are you there yet?'' When I explained it to him, he responded, ``Oh, that's right?'' and I was glad that he understood.I was worried that my dinner would be wasted, but when I checked after arriving, it seemed to be okay.The host was very responsive and kind.There were about 5 guest rooms on the second floor, and although the toilet was shared and the sink was like a large kitchen, they were all clean.We were able to share a large refrigerator.There was a large pot of boiling water in the room.It was surprisingly spacious, including the verandah area.The bath is also a day trip hot spring, so it seems that a lot of locals came in the morning.The water was really hot so I poured water into the bath, but in the morning it was even hotter so I had to bathe under the water.When I joined, no one else was there, but you can't do it if there are other people.Breakfast was like a typical ryokan breakfast, and I was happy to see that the miso soup had the famous bean sprouts in it.I would love to stay again with 2 meals included.

I stayed for one night.It's a quiet inn and the hot springs are very nice. Local people come to the hot springs in the morning and at night.The miso soup with Owani's unique bean sprouts for breakfast was delicious.This is a recommended accommodation where you can bathe in high-quality hot springs at a reasonable price.

R6.2.24 I stayed here for 8000 yen with 2 meals per night on my way back from Hakkoda.This is a hot spring guesthouse used by locals for day trip bathing. This is a hot spring guesthouse where you can stay without meals and cook your own meals. Of course, the toilet, kitchen, and refrigerator are shared, but I was able to sleep soundly in the quaint, nostalgic building and room.My husband asked me a lot about the local ski resorts, and I was impressed by his kind smile.The bathroom is not very large, butThe source was flowing out vigorously.There is a shampoo conditioner and a hair dryer.For those who came to take a bath in the local area, please make sure that the temperature of the hot spring is not too hot in the bathroom on this side of the hotel guests.The waiting room has a mini table tennis table, vending machines, health equipment, and newspapers.The amount of food at the inn was just right, and the miso soup with bean sprouts made from Owani's famous hot springs for breakfast was crunchy and very delicious.

The location was so difficult to find that I got quite lost. The roads are also quite narrow. The bathhouse was small, but the regular bathing fee for a day trip was 200 yen, and with information magazine Fuira, it was half the price, so it was a good value for money.

The small hot springs and the local cuisine-like meals served by the landlady were great. I didn't notice it at first, but I was relieved to see that there was also a Western-style toilet.

6,500 yen including two meals is quite cheap. The bath is a hot spring. There are four washing areas, and day-trip bathing is also available, so if the timing is bad, you'll have to change your time. This was the only inconvenience. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning and heating, so you can stay comfortably.

I stayed here while on a solo bike tour.After driving about 400km, the ``hot spring'', ``luxury home-cooked food, beer, and cold sake ``Tokyo Special Junmai Sake'' soaked through my body.I think 7,500 yen for one night and two meals is very reasonable.

The price is 7,500 yen, which includes two meals and unlimited access to the hot springs at night. The room is also clean. I was the only woman on this day, so I always reserved the hot springs for myself.Meals include hot spring bean sprouts morning and evening.I was impressed by the crunchy feel.The host and mother of the inn were kind,However, I was able to take my time and relax because they didn't come any closer than necessary.Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I've never seen anywhere else where you can get a day trip to a hot spring for just 200 yen with Jump, Body Jump, and a hair dryer!The washrooms and toilets are shared, but they are clean and no problem!The room is a pure Japanese style room, but it is comfortable and has no unpleasant smells.There are many prints, tanka frames, and art books scattered throughout the museum.The meals are filled with local Tsugaru food prepared by the proprietress. Stir-fried chicken fillet, shiso rolls, grilled herring, etc.I can't get enough of it! The miso soup with Owani bean sprouts served for breakfast is delicious with the bean sprout soup.I learned why the building is clean even though it has a historical feel. The person cleaning the changing room had a mop, but he knelt on the floor and carefully cleaned every corner with a rag. The remote control placed in the room, which is surprisingly forgotten about cleanliness, is also clean. I felt the careful attention to detail.This is an inn where you can stay with peace of mind.
