Used on tour on October 7, 2024. The room was also large enough for my wife and I to use. It was nice to see that it was well cleaned. Especially dinner and breakfast were very delicious. The salt-grilled rockfish was especially outstanding. You can eat at tables and chairs in the banquet room, which is friendly to people with disabilities. Seiza is painful.It was a Japanese-style room, so there weren't many electrical outlets. I thought so.

I stayed here when I went on a sightseeing tour (2022/9).Shirahone Onsen is something my wife has always wanted to go to.I was very satisfied❗️The inside of the building was thoroughly cleaned.The food was good and the hot springs were also good.The soy milk hotpot was delicious.It would have been nice if there was a sake comparison on the alcohol menu.There were many inns in places that seemed to be in trouble in the winter, so it was truly a secret hot spring.

I took a bath three times in the mountains with moist hot water. As for the meals, I'm satisfied with the soy milk hotpot for dinner and porridge for breakfast.

Dinner was good (^o^)vBreakfast was also great.The room was also good.The hot springs were nice, but unfortunately the water wasn't white. It can't be helped since it's a natural product (>Д<;)

I love to travel and go out often, but this room cost over 50,000 yen for 2 people with 1 night and 2 meals, but the room was cramped like a business hotel, and it was very old and not very nice.When I stayed at Hirayu the day before I came here, it was very good as it had a bedroom, living room, and even a private bath for the same price as here, so I thought why not stay in this area and just do a day trip? I thought
