4/5
A friend of mine from Kamiyamada Onsen recommended this hotel to me as an inexpensive accommodation and made a reservation for me.It's an old inn, and the rooms, the entire building, and even the baths have an old, Showa-era feel to them.The air conditioner and TV are new, but the bath and toilet are old.In the bath, it sometimes takes a while for the hot water to come out.People who don't like that kind of thing should stop doing that.If you like Showa retro and can accept it, it's great.The hot spring water was good, flowing directly from the source. However, it is hot so you need to adjust the temperature by adding water yourself.My reservation for a room without meals was ¥5,500, but I wanted to eat breakfast, so I changed my reservation at check-in. +1,000.It's not luxurious, but it feels like a Showa-era inn breakfast. It's just delicious.It's good to have a small amount of sekihan with you for your safety during your trip.The landlady has a nice personality and is recommended if you want to stay at a Showa era hot spring inn.I mentioned that the toilets are old, but only one has a washlet.

The piping hot hot water is Shiroyama No. 2 hot springThe water is clear at first, but when you stir the water while lowering the temperature with water, it turns into a light green and murky water.A large amount of yunohana dancing like white jellyfishI'm so happy I feel like this is realThank you to the lady who adjusted the hot water according to my arrival 😊It would be great if there was a hot water massage board in the bathroom.I would like to have a non-smoking room if possible.

After completing some big work, I wanted to relax in a hot spring for a change of pace, so I looked it up on a reservation site and found a vacant room at this inn, so I made a reservation.The bath is very nice and you can take a bath even at night.Breakfast was also very delicious.On the porch, there is a desk and computer chair large enough to comfortably work on your computer, and you can also use it to work from home for a change of pace.I want to use it again.

This is an old hot spring inn.There is one parking lot in the back, on the west side.I used it about 5 years ago, and the taste remains the same. The landlady was also very nice and took good care of me.The stairs and hallways are creaky. The soundproofing of the room is not very good so please be careful if you are concerned about that. If you're traveling alone and you're a group of men, you won't have any problems. There was no hustle and bustle outside, so it was quiet. Yukata and tanzen are available. There is a safe for valuables.The public bath is full of sulfur. The sulfur from the source is strong and the shower faucet is black and there are some places where there is no hot water, but I think it has improved from before. Be careful as the floor is very slippery. There are actually 3 washing areas. Shampoo and body soap available.I was told that the temperature of the hot water was 43 degrees, and I remember that the water at the spout was much hotter, and that I had to fill it with water before I could pour it in, but today I felt comfortable with the hot water. I'm sure it's hot in the summer.Stayed with a breakfast only plan, in the large hall on the 1st floor. Although the menu was simple, there were many items and I was full.The price for a room without meals is low, and there seem to be a constant number of users. I would like to use it again with ``rice included''.

Used for business and overnight stayIt was good pointThe entrance, entrance, and hallway have been renovated to create a nice atmosphere with a Showa-era feel and sense of style.The room was an old Japanese style room, and it was nice to have a WiFi computer desk, office chair, and display stand (with USB port) for telework.The hot springs are fed directly from the source, so the temperature varies depending on the day, but be careful as it's about 45 degrees Celsius.The building and equipment are old, but you can stay there for a cheaper price.Bad pointsAs a man, the slippers were too small for me to walk in.The toilet in the guest room has low water pressure and is difficult to flush.I was reluctant to use the water faucet because it was covered in rust and dirt everywhere... Also, the toothpick holder was full of dust so I couldn't use it.If you do your best to clean the above items, I think you will be more satisfied.Thank you very much 😊

The hot springs that flow straight from the source were great.Although the building itself is from the Showa era, the rooms were spacious and the Wi-Fi was fairly fast and easy to use.

The simple sulfur springs were nice, but the facilities are outdated.
