The woman at the restaurant who looked like she had a bad personality and had a strange voice made me feel bad.

I visited in early October using JR's Otokyu pass.It was very helpful for me to pick up and drop off at Shin-Aomori Station. It takes a little over an hour one way. I guess there are more people traveling alone...There are 2 people in the 8 tatami Japanese-style room in the main building, so it's a little small, but it's the most affordable price (lol)I immediately headed to the hot springs, which are separated into upper and lower hot springs (spiritual springs).For those of us who like lukewarm baths, it's very comfortable and you can stay in it forever.Men and women will be swapped after 5pm. The sacred springs there are highly transparent and come from below.The food is delicious, including freshly grilled rock fish, freshly fried tempura, and steamed maitake mushrooms in a clay pot. One thing I would like to say is (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠) I think the breakfast is a little more...However, it has become my favorite hot spring. I made a reservation for winter next January on the same day!I'm looking forward to meeting the cute dragon that appears next to the dining room...

Used for day trip bathing.As soon as I entered, I changed into slippers.Purchase a ticket from the ticket vending machine, take it to the front desk, and proceed to the back.*Note. There are coin lockers for a fee (100 yen not refunded) in the hallway, but there are also free coin lockers at the entrance to the changing room.The changing room is fairly spacious.Enter the bathroom and pour hot water on the right side.Washing area in the back. Wash your child thoroughly before taking a bath to avoid contaminating the water. It's manners.The washing area has 4 seats.Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap provided.There is no shower, but there are hot and cold taps, but be careful as the temperature of the hot water may change.When you go to an old place, you usually use a bucket to collect the water, so it's surprising that it's a secret hot spring.The upper bath (42 degrees) and lower bath (38 degrees) were both about 2 degrees lower at first. The temperature of the upper bath rose after a while.There were a few flies flying around in the lower bath, so it didn't feel very nice.Utaseyu is currently closed... No reason or timing is given.``There was no point in coming even though the atmosphere of the utase-yu that goes down a cave-like passage was nice,'' my son said disappointedly⤵️There is only one hair dryer for both men and women, and it seems that women spend a lot of time waiting for the hair dryer. It is prohibited to bring in a hair dryer as the fuse may blow.There doesn't seem to be any electricity or water here, so it seems like they generate their own electricity and the water comes from underground water.There is no juice vending machine, which is inconvenient.Water, tea, cider, and beer are sold at the shop.Ten's original stuffed animal is cute. It's too expensive though.They sell Yachi Onsen T-shirts, but do people buy them and wear them?

It's old and you can't expect much from the facilities, but the baths and food are great. The lukewarm cloudy water is at a temperature that you can enjoy slowly, and enjoy the white, cloudy water with dancing flowers. Meals include char, sashimi, tempura, grilled salt, and bone sake. There's nothing to say about it, it's healthy and delicious with lots of fish.

Checked in in mid-October 2023. At that time, the temperature here reached 6 degrees. It was a bit cold outside but very warm inside the room.Perhaps because of the inconvenient transportation, we did not meet any foreign tourists here, so we seemed to have experienced a very traditional Japanese cuisine and hot spring hotel. There was no toilet in the room we stayed in, and we had to go to the end of the corridor to use it.Throughout my trip to the Northeast, I have always been obsessed with Valley Hot Springs. The fatigue before coming here was gone after taking a bath in the hot springs. And because the Internet was not good and we were in the mountains, my friends and I were in the mountains after taking a bath in the hot springs. Just staying together quietly, eating instant noodles, drinking milk and chatting casually, it's very comfortableWe drove to nearby Tsutnuma early the next morning and came back for breakfast. Our time here was very fulfilling. I look forward to coming back here to soak in the hot springs one day.
