You can see squirrels rolling around in the garden in front of the hot spring, and small brown birds bathing in the water.This is a hot spring that truly calms your soul. The clarity of the pond is also wonderful.

A quaint hotel with a Showa feel.The building and equipment are old, but they are kept well-maintained so it feels clean.Perhaps that's why it's quiet and there aren't many customers, so you can relax in the hot springs.After all, this hotel is a hot spring.You can stay in the open-air bath for as long as you want while feeling the night breeze.I think the effectiveness of hot springs varies from person to person.It's a quiet and comfortable hotel.Recommended for people who want to relax.

The hot springs were nice, but the food was a bit lacking.The children's lunch, fried shrimp and spaghetti, were cold and straight from the fridge.I guess I forgot to warm it up.

Since it's nearby, I come here for a day trip to take a bath.The area around the bath is kept clean so there is no discomfort. Reception is completely normal. Body soap, shampoo, and hair dryer are provided.In this area, the hot water has a strong iron content and feels warm.I'm glad that it's always open and that you can choose the time even during the busy season.It would be 5 stars if the temperature was a little higher ♨️.

The food is very good, the service is also very good, and the waiters are very polite. If you are traveling by car, it will be more convenient, but it is also very convenient to take a taxi. …
