If you want to relax on vacation, it is not suitable to come here.Although I already knew that there would be no electricity when I booked the room, was there an oil lamp all night? ? ? ¯¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯Almost died of kerosene gas poisoningTo prevent poisoning, I didn't even turn on the heating.If you want to experience the oil lamp experience of the ancient times, you would not be so arrogant at that time. They will give you an oil lamp all night (it is really completely out of power, so it is not that difficult to bring your own flashlight( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ) And in the early days, when rich people wanted lighting, they didn’t just light cheap oil lamps like this. This kind of experience is really inexplicable)I wanted to open the windows for ventilation, but none of the screens were tight. In addition to having to spend the whole night with insects, I was also afraid of bears running around. (I lived in a cabin in Hokkaido and felt very relieved when a bear knocked on the door. At least the windows of their cabins have two windows. layer tempered glass-..-)Then I drove there and almost logged out (the official navigation guide disappeared halfway, there were no street lights in the entire area, and I almost ended up at an unknown broken bridge (I saw a Japanese who got lost and rear-ended me). (I have been around twice), even if you have the phone number and Internet connection of three banks (softbank.docomo.au), starting from Rainbow Lake Road Station, you will be directly outside the circle (I still have a Japanese phone number, Japanese mobile phone, If you get lost, you can really only use divination)The parking lot is still a long way away from the hotel itself (I read that right, some of the roads are approaching 30-45 degree slopes), and the road is uneven from the beginning of the climb, and there is no smooth road (gravel). There were so many explosions that I was afraid of scratching the car)In addition, the English check-in is not possible at all, and I will only send you super simple and unimportant English notes (even if I can speak Japanese, but because it is recommended by the Japanese official tourism bureau, I will deliberately pretend not to know Japanese to do this test)The service was also super bad. When I asked the staff at night, they put a ding-dong on the counter (I pressed it more than a dozen times but there was no response. The sound of dishes being washed in the kitchen got louder and louder. If you don’t want service, you can remove the ding-dong. Otherwise I will explode it=..=)I seriously think that your country's official should not recommend this hotel as a tourist attraction in Aomori. It is simply terrible and ruins all my impressions of Aomori tourism.Then I don’t know if the hot springs in your area are drying up or something. There are only two hot springs left out of the original four. Even the hot springs in the main pool are terrible, and the water is not hot enough. Moreover, this is the first time I have encountered a hot spring in a hot spring hotel. There are no small stools, and the shower area only has a water outlet (it feels the same as taking a shower or not). Seeing this situation, I will not want to take a bath in that other place. I know the hot spring water is not clean (I have to kneel down to take a shower, which is really bad)Then, because both the open-air and Takimi hot springs are under renovation, there is a large circle of weeds outside, and even the scenery becomes like a roadside with a bunch of weeds (I personally think that maybe it was really beautiful before) , but because the hotel is not managed seriously, it now looks like a mass grave ಠ_ʖಠ)Also, the major travel programs that say the food is delicious (I’m just talking about the Ogisan electric motorcycle), please don’t harm Japan’s tourism industry! Aomori also has delicious hot spring hotels! Almost all of them are pickles and unpalatable cold dishes (and I even saw a review from Taiwan on agoda last year saying that it was the best apple juice I have ever tasted. There was a question mark on my face

Big favorite. A place with a magical, timeless atmosphere. No phone, no internet. No electricity. Lighting with kerosene lamps, hence this particular atmosphere. The baths are fantastic. Naked, in the warm water, watching the waterfall in the fall colors, it was heaven. I dream of coming back in winter. The cuisine is refined. Although it is difficult for me to enjoy traditional breakfast. I am in love with this place. This place is one of the places that left the biggest impression on me among the places I have stayed in my life, and I have traveled quite a bit.

I would not recommend this hotel for a relaxing vacation, it is a hotel where you always spend money and suffer.It is very dangerous to drive there by yourself. The whole road is dark and there is no signal on the way there. If you make a mistake and make a mistake, you may fall into the cliff and completely log out of your life. It is really difficult to find the hotel. Many sections of the road are not planned roads, so There are no smooth and safe asphalt roads, and there are worries about bears suddenly appearing in the mountains.When you enter the hotel, you smell a strong smell of kerosene. It is really not suitable for urbanites. It is not an experience but a suffering.The food is very careless, with the same pickles and dishes all year round, which is a huge disappointment.The service staff are very difficult to find at night. They will ignore you when you ring the bell and will wash dishes loudly on purpose. Therefore, if a pot of hot water runs out in the room...you can only ask for blessings.There were no sockets in the room, and the check-in counter told me not to touch them for fear of danger, so I smelled bad air all night long and couldn't sleep in the dark. The smelly coal lamp is very luxurious, wow😧 Experience the ancient coal lamp to get rich, turn on the coal lamp all night (!?) If you want to be an ancient luxury person, you can experience it!The room has a kerosene heater. It says not to turn it on too high, otherwise there is a risk of poisoning (!?) So how much should it be turned on? I don’t know, and I don’t dare to use it at all.If you can't stand the smell of coal lamps, open a window and you will experience the life in the countryside full of insects (Yaoshou⋯⋯There are screens but no tight seals)...😣The tap water is ice-cold. When you wash your face in the morning, you can experience what chilblains on hands looked like in ancient times!Hot springs...I don't know how to laugh at them anymore...there are no nozzles, no faucets, a small pool...how to wash my hair and take a bath...I can't wash my hair because there is no socket, and I can't live my life because I can't blow my hair.In short, if you come to relax and travel, I highly recommend it. But if you come to experience the free life of ancient coal lamps or practice spiritual practice, I highly recommend that you must come and experience it.

The hot water and the atmosphere of the building are very good.It's a bit disappointing as the lamp seems to be just for display (probably) along with the food. I'm also grateful that I can stay alone.

Walk up the steep slope from the parking lotIs it in a place like this⁉️Winter can be toughThe road warning dialect is so fun lol.Since it was summer, it was great to go on a solo trip to the hot springs while bathing in the forest 😆 It's a day trip to the hot springs.There was a hot pot bath in the women's open-air bath, and I was excited by the size of the pot.I also enjoyed the mixed bathing 🎵 There is a barrel of Kodakara no Yu in the mixed bathing outdoor area.There is also ladies time.I took a mixed bath with my grandpa.There weren't many customers when I went.The weather is good tooThe atmosphere of the lamp and the building are nostalgic.I had a relaxing timeIt's hard to tell because there are several hot springs.There are guest rooms, so is there a hot spring or a guest room?Let's conquer while looking at the mapIt was a little tough to walk up the slope on the way home lolFor those who want to escape realityWe recommend secret hot springs where radio waves do not reach.

It's a lie that there is no electricity.There is a refrigerator, washing machine, and emergency lights.It's a scam.This is an inn that sells itself on inconvenience.

A hot spring inn famous as a lamp inn.It has a historical feel and all the lighting is lamps.There seems to be electricity at the inn, but there are no outlets and neither Docomo nor Softbank are within range.The concept is thorough.Although it is a corner of Kuroishi Onsenkyo, it is located a little out of the way and is really quiet.It's perfect for refreshing yourself and forgetting about work.

In the summer, it's cool even without air conditioning. Recommended for people living in the city! An environment with no electricity or cell phone signal. That's awesome.
