I visited in winter. There are many different types of hot springs within Iida City. There is also an open-air bath, but it is surrounded by a residential area, so there is no view.

I go to the sauna because it's cheap and feels good, but the facility itself is old so I want them to completely renovate it, and the floor of the public bath is slippery so I want it to be made of non-slip material. Someone may get injured.

It is probably called a "natural hot spring" because it is brought in by tanker truck from a "natural hot spring" source located a little far from the city center. The men's bath is on the first floor, and the women take the elevator to the second floor.The quality of the spring water is simple, with no odor or slimy feeling, and the facility is old and has cracks appearing here and there. Lockers with broken locks, faucets that don't turn on, walls and glass with hot water stains. A small bathtub called "Nanairo no Yu". Most of the users are locals, so loud conversations can be a bit jarring, and the facility is small, so parking is limited. Furthermore, although there is a crosswalk where you leave your car and cross the road, it is difficult for cars to stop, perhaps due to the local characteristics or the slope. I think you need to be very careful if you force yourself to cross it, as it could lead to an accident.

Edit and post properly.The old man (I call you Kai Azuki Arai) who sticks his head in the water bath and scrubs is really irritating. I'm vomiting on the side of the water bath, and I want someone to warn me, but I can't say it myself... (crying)I'm always there between 16:00 and 18:00 every day...There is an old man who lets out a siren-like voice while taking a bath. When I first saw it, I was pretty scared!There will be an optician after 6pm. This guy takes a bath for some reason. There are no towels in the sauna. I dive in all the baths and cold baths. Just annoyingThe one muttering in the sauna. The one that keeps saying the same thing over and over again.The regulars are over.I wonder if the people of Sunaboshi Onsen won't see my post...

I used the day trip bath.First of all, there are several parking lots across the road from the hot springs. There is a crosswalk nearby, so I don't think parking will be that difficult.The hot springs feel like a normal public bath, and the quality of the hot springs lacks individuality. The water temperature was not too hot, just enough to make you feel tired.In addition to regular indoor baths, there are also jet baths, aroma baths, electric baths, and more to enjoy.There are various baths in a small space that I enjoyed.It appears that only cash is accepted as payment.

Normally I would give it 1 star, but I'll give it 2 stars because of the cute grandma.First of all, I don't know about the location.I came by carThere was also plenty of parking.The hot spring uses circulating heating brought from somewhere.Personally, the jet was strong and felt good.There were some strange customers, but it can't be helped.There was a group of four noisy high school students, but it couldn't be helped.Now!Here are the bad points and points for improvementFirst of all, the room is from the Showa era.Are there stains or burn marks on the tatami mats? YaraIf you look down, you'll see that the cleaning is clean.The hallway and the ceiling.It's too dirtyThere are dead insects inside the fishing lights that are common in old inns...There is also dust on the window frameAbove all!exhaust port? It's so dusty that people who don't like house dust might not be able to sleep...Many of the hotel employees seem to be elderly, but your son? I haven't met him, but if he's there, he should be able to clean that place.Please do it for the next customer.Also, I stayed there during the summer, but the air conditioner was of a type I don't know how old it was.I can't express it in words, so if you're staying overnight, please take a look.Very cold air is blowing outMy feet are cold and my top is hot.No meals as I am staying without meals.The futon is okayIt's not that much of a rice cracker.No amenitiesThere's nothingThere are no tea and sweets, and even the outlet for the pot is lying on the desk.Also, I made a mistake in the accounting and when I pointed it out, they blamed it on someone else, so I'll give it 1 star after all.Even if I come near here, I will go elsewhere.
