Ureshino Onsen is famous for being one of Japan's top three hot springs for beautiful skin.The main component of the source is sodium, which is slightly alkaline. The texture is turun trun.The water temperature was just right, not too hot.Kotobukiya has a 70-year history, and the shoe racks and furniture from that time are still there, giving it a quaint feel, but it was renovated in 2020, so the rooms are clean and tidy.It supports Wi-Fi6, so speed is no problem.It looks like you can get delivery from Chuka Rokujuban. I should have used this...There are 3 parking spaces in the back to the right of the photo shop on the right.

The room was not cleaned well and there was no one at the front desk in the morning. The 2L water service was good, but I didn't like the visible dust on the TV, remote control, and extension phone. It should not be associated with being unpopular.

Perfect for casually enjoying Ureshino Onsen.The hot spring bath is good.The toilets are shared, but they are very clean and shiny.The tatami in the room is new and clean.There is a big gap between the appearance of the inn and the exterior.

It's a shame that the communal toilets and washwater are not drinkable, but it's a cheap place to stay, the reception is friendly, and the rooms are clean.I would like to use it again in the future (^.^)

It's dirty and the lady at the reception is annoying! Even though I had just parked in the designated parking lot, I was bombarded with questions before even being shown the room information, such as whether I was with another guest, and it was very unpleasant to know why I had to answer questions about a stranger who was not even my companion. The guest room doesn't seem to be vacuumed (see image) If you have time to talk, I would like you to clean it.

The facilities are quite old, so it can't be said to be very comfortable, but the customer service made up for it, so considering the cost performance including the location, I was quite satisfied. The quality of the hot springs was similar to that of a beauty bath, with an alkaline feel. thank you for helping me.

The female owner's service was good. There is a separate parking lot, so there is a separate 200 yen fee for parking (motorcycle) there. The water is good, but the bath itself is small. It is cramped for 4 adult men.The room condition wasn't bad. There was a bar nearby, so the location wasn't bad. It wasn't soundproof.

*This is a transcription of what was posted on a travel site.I stayed for one night during the November holidays.Ureshino Onsen doesn't have many lodgings where you can stay alone, so I stayed here because it accommodated even just one person.I had dinner at a nearby pub, but I think it's best to make a reservation since there aren't many restaurants.Although the toilet and wash basin were shared, and the noise from other guests returning late at night was a bit noisy, I was surprised that I could stay in a hot spring of this quality for around 7,000 yen, and I was satisfied.Guests could also slip in and use the private mini-bathroom. It's not big, but it was nice to be able to soak in it without worrying about the people around me.

It's great that the private hot springs are free for guests. The quality of the spring water is also good.

Taking full advantage of the GOGO Ureshino Onsen campaign and Saga Travel Discount, the two of us took a flight and stayed the first night of a 3-day, 2-night stay. Including the travel discount coupon, the travel expenses alone were actually positive.Below are the advantages and disadvantages I felt during my stay.【merit】•It was renovated in 2022 and the common area of the room is quite clean (not a speck of dust has fallen)•Naturally flowing from the source•I appreciate the fact that the private bath is free of charge.-Some rooms have river views, which is good.•Since it is located in the center of the downtown area of Ureshino Onsen, there are bars and food stores within walking distance.[Disadvantages]-Shared toilet and sink (not in the room)•Since it is made of wood, it is quite noisy.(You can usually hear sounds from the next room and footsteps in the hallway.)-Perhaps the inn is under construction, with scaffolding set up throughout the inn, and the scaffolding can be seen even in the river view rooms.To be honest, it's like staying for free, so I'm satisfied, but the sound is quite harsh.The person next to me woke up early and went out, which affected my ability to sleep and I became sleep deprived.However, the common areas of the room are really clean and I was very satisfied with the hot springs.For reference.

I stayed here in October 2023.You can go out with your room key in hand, and just leave the key in the designated place at the front desk and check out without meeting anyone, so you don't have to worry about it early in the morning or late at night.Although it looks like a hot spring inn, it can also be used for business purposes.No meals will be provided unless you are staying without meals.Enrich your sightseeing or business trip with local gourmet food.Although the bath, toilet, and washroom are shared, they are clean and neat.I only used the toilet on the second floor, but it had a toilet seat with a washing function.The bath is fed by natural hot spring water.If you have a small bathtub for 1-2 people, you can rent it out for free for 50 minutes.There is also a separate rental fee for the large bath.All the equipment in the room is new and there is no shortage or excess.There is a refrigerator, hair dryer, locked valuables storage, air purifier, water heater, TV, etc.There was no full-length mirror, but there was a folding mirror.There is a supermarket about 700m on the west side that is open until 9pm, so you can buy general daily necessities, drinks, and food.The parking lots are spread over 3 locations, with a total of 10 spaces, all of which seem to be rented out to multiple stores, but there are signs for the inn on the parking slots, and the farthest one is about a 2-minute walk, so it's not a problem.I think this is a reasonable and favorable option for people who prefer to eat at delicious restaurants locally or along the way rather than at hotels when traveling on business or traveling.

It's located in the downtown area, which is a little surprising. The building is quaint and feels out of the ordinary, but it is old and may be a problem for people who are concerned about noises from neighboring rooms, people talking, or the opening and closing of doors. The bath is definitely Ureshino Onsen! My skin became smooth.

It is about 10 minutes walk from Ureshino Bus Center.The parking lot was far away, so I think it would be safer to come by bus.The restrooms are shared, but the hot springs are fed directly from the source, making this an absolutely stunning inn.
