Used for day trip hot springs.It's expensive at ¥1,650 for a day trip, but the quality of the spring water is excellent. It's good because there aren't any angry customers because it's expensive.There are three baths: a bath for washing the body, an open-air bath, and an indoor medicinal hot spring. The open-air bath and medicinal hot spring bath have 20℃ hot spring water, but it feels quite cold.

I stayed here for 1 night from September 10, 2024.The inn itself is old, but well-maintained, and it's nice and quiet.To be honest, the room feels a bit outdated, so it's a little strange.But I'm basically soaking in the hot springs all the time, so I'm not in the room, so it's okay! (lol)When the weather clears up, the stars are so beautiful that I feel like a child again.I've been looking for a space like this for a long time.There are 3 baths. Although it is a little difficult to go up and down the stairs, it is truly the best space.The spring quality is my favorite sulfur spring. It is said to be the second highest concentration in the country.The closer you get to the bathroom, the more you can smell the sulfur.My favorite scent. . .Shingen-no-Yu and Mori-no-Yu have warm sulfur spring baths and cold springs below 20 degrees Celsius.The public bath has regular hot water. However, the temperature was just right for this time of year and I felt comfortable.Even though I love saunas and cold baths, the cold springs were extremely cooling. lolIt's a drinkable hot spring, so I tried drinking a little bit and it was sour. . .This is also one of the pleasures of having water flowing directly from the source.Perhaps because I drank the hot springs, I suddenly started getting hungry and was looking forward to dinner again. . .It's full of color and uses a lot of vegetables, and I thought, ``Oh, it's delicious!'' ! ”We are usually quick eaters and big eaters, but we spent 20 minutes savoring the flavors of the ingredients as we savored the appetizers, humming to ourselves, ``Delicious! Delicious!''The main dish, the rock fish, was the most tender and odorless I've ever eaten.The soup with mushrooms, vegetables, and pork filled all my five organs and I drank it down to the last drop.Normally, I'm pretty picky, but this meal was excellent no matter what I had.The breakfast was also colorful and delicious, so we made sure to refill the rice.It's been a long time since I last stayed at an inn with good hot springs and good food (I'd like the room to be renovated or the tatami mats replaced), so I'm sure I'll come back again.On the way home, of course I bought 100g of Yunohana, which I had been checking out online. (A must-have item for sulfur spring enthusiasts)I'm so excited to think that I'll be able to enjoy this hot spring again at home.We would like to express our gratitude to our predecessors and hope that this inn will prosper forever in the future.thank you very much.

2024.09.08 Accommodation.Anyway, it was a trip where I was able to enjoy the hot springs slowly. And the food was much more delicious than I expected.Perhaps because I stayed on a Sunday, there were about 6 groups of guests, so I only met someone once in the bathroom. So I was able to relax and enjoy the place as it was privately reserved. The temperature of the cold spring was listed as below 20 degrees, so it was pretty cold when I put my feet in it, but I enjoyed soaking in the hot tub and alternating baths many times. The indoor bath, which has a washing area for guests only, is boiled with natural water, but the water circulates and overflows, so I felt comfortable taking a bath. I kind of hate it when it keeps piling up.And the meal! I was expecting it to be a mountain village dish full of vegetables, but I found that they used a lot of different kinds of vegetables.First of all, it looked beautiful and I thought it was very well thought out. It's really delicious when you look at it with your eyes and then eat it! Of course, the vegetables are fresh, and the recipes are hard to imagine at home. It's a very elaborate dish. They say they serve 30 items a day, but it's more than that. My favorite was the cold corn soup. The sweetness of the corn was delicious when it was cold and hot.The room was on the third floor. Move by stairs. It was a little far to the bathroom. Was there a little gap in the screen door? There was a big stink bug in the room. There were also a few other insects. It can't be helped because it's a mountain. It may be difficult for people who hate insects or have difficulty walking.I thought there was no refrigerator in the room, but there was one. Although I was a little unwieldy, they filled me with two bottles of water. (Free) No cooler. The mornings and evenings were cool. There was no electric fan, so it was a little hot when I came back from the bath, but I guess it was okay.I saw a review saying that the accommodation fee was high even though it was a vegetable dish.This is the first time I've had a delicious dish that uses so many vegetables. I wasn't expecting much, but I was really impressed. I think it's worth the price.I like old buildings, and the hot springs were great! As I was walking down the hallway, I saw a deer relaxing. I felt relaxed and felt the nature.The staff at check-in and check-out, and at mealtimes were all smiling and providing pleasant customer service.

Very quiet place and great locationThere are 3 bathrooms, 2 of which are hot springs.There is a heating layer and a source tank, and the source water at about 20 degrees is flowing directly from the source.By taking turns, you can experience the strange sensation of your body burning even though it's cold.On August 30th, still in the height of summer, a typhoon was approaching, but it was slow and the sun was shining in the Toshin region, so I thought I could go, but when I went there, the outside temperature dropped to below 18 degrees at night and it was cold. However, I can barely soak in the hot spring water.The food is healthy and the fish is freshly fried, so the grilled fish and tempura were delicious.The portion was large enough that even I, in my 30s, was full.The prices are steep for both overnight stays and day trips, but I think it's worth going at least once.courtyard? There was a deer inBy the way, towels cannot be taken home.It's for hot spring enthusiasts, so if you're not a hot spring enthusiast, do some research before going.

Cancellation fee setting is dishonestOver 10,000 yen without staying overnightI don't care about the reason for the typhoon (lol)It was the reason for ordering.When I travel, I want to get away from reality.I don't want to ask about ordering...I felt like this was a hotel that didn't have the luxury of management without being flexible.It was sad.

2023,8.10 I went there for the first time in 7 years, so I will update the post.-----------------------------Shingen's medicinal bathSimple acid cold mineral springIt is a hot spring inn that is almost a secret hot spring, and although it is expensive at 1,650 yen + 200 yen for a day trip, there are not many people, and depending on the time of day, you can enjoy an atmosphere that is almost private.I like it here.There is a time limit for day trip bathing from 11:00 to 16:00.・Shingen medicinal bath (indoor bath)40℃ medicinal bath and 20℃ hot spring.・Forest hot spring (indoor bath and open-air bath)A lukewarm indoor bath that feels like 37℃20℃ open-air bath, not available in winterWhen I went this time, the open-air bath was so cold that I couldn't take a bath.・Large bath (indoor bath)The photo is beautiful, but it's an old-fashioned ordinary bathhouse.A little wider. Shampoo and soap are only available hereCannot be used.Last time, 7 years ago, they provided sweets and tea after bathing for day trip bathers, but this time there was no such service.In addition, when there is a lot of snow, it may not be possible to go with normal tires.

I used it for a day bath on a weekday in late July.First of all, I would like to say that the hot water is the best. There are three baths: a regular large bath, a forest hot spring, and a Shingen medicinal bath.In particular, Shingen's medicinal baths have really strong hot water that soaks into your body.The temperature of the hot spring source is around 20℃, so you won't be able to soak in it for long, but the bathtub next to it is heated, so you can take your time.The hot springs in the forest seemed less pleasant than the medicinal hot springs in Shingen, but they were quite good. There is an open-air bath here, but since it comes from the source and is cold, I couldn't stay in it for long.The large public bath was being cleaned and there was no hot water in the bathtub, but this is the only place where you can wash your body.The water is like boiling water, but the washing area has a retro Showa atmosphere that gives it a great atmosphere.I think that the appearance and the atmosphere of the inn have a good old ryokan feel, making it a cool inn.The day trip bathing fee is 1,650 yen, which is expensive, but if you like hot springs, there is hot water here that will definitely satisfy you.
