The open-air bath and private bath are open 24 hours a day.It's great that there is a beer server and guests can drink as much beer as they want!The road to the parking lot is narrow and a little difficult to find, but the location is good, close to Lake Kinrinko.

It was great to be able to use as many private baths as you like 24 hours a day. You can also drink beer as much as you want!It was nice to take a walk to Lake Kinrinko in the morning.

20240808I used it on a trip to Yufuin.The location of the inn is perfect.However, the bridge you cross on the way to the parking lot is quite narrow, so large vehicles may have a hard time getting there.Personally, I gave it a low rating because the room had a strong smell of cigarette smoke that I could tell the moment I entered.The baths and meals were perfect, so that was my only regret.

I used the family bath for a day trip.It was midsummer, soI called ahead of time to confirm whether the changing room in the family bath was equipped with an air conditioner.I came here because I was told there was an air conditioner, but when I paid and was shown to the family bath, there was no air conditioner! !picture? Don't you have air conditioning? When I asked the store staff, they said, ``Our family bathroom doesn't have an air conditioner.''When I asked on the phone, I was told that it was available, so I thought I came, but I already paid the bill, so I had no choice but to go in.When I touched the water in the bathtub to check the temperature of the hot spring before taking a bath, I was told “It’s cold!” It was completely like a cold bath😓I didn't think it was hot enough to use even if I filled it with hot water, so I went back to the front desk and told them, ``The bath is a cold bath, so I can't use it,'' and they showed me to another room.The bath in the room I was shown to was warm enough to take a bath in, butThere was a lot of black dirt floating around, and even hair floating around.It was so dirty that I couldn't believe it was a hot spring ingredient.I was worried about hygiene,Honestly, I felt a little sick.I think it was good that towels were provided.

It's close to a cute shopping street, but far from the station. It was comfortable to use the hot springs because there didn't seem to be many people, but since it's in nature, if you can tolerate bugs, it's a good value-for-money accommodation that you'll be very satisfied with.
