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.
