At the recommendation of a friend, I stayed overnight for a hot spring treatment during the winter.The food, customer service, and hot springs didn't suit me.My friend's favorite accommodation.Should I have decided after taking a day trip bath?There are also such inns.

I used it at a day trip hot spring.It seems that the JAF member discount (100 yen off) that was offered before has disappeared, so I entered at the regular price of 1,000 yen per person.It felt great to be able to take a cold bath at three different temperatures: cold spring source (27℃), lukewarm water (about 36℃), and hot water (41℃). I think the quality of the spring water was also good.The waterfall that could be seen from the inn was magnificent and I could feel the negative ions ☺️During the day, there was also a nice rest space that was available for day trip hot spring users.I think it would be nice to stay here for several nights and relax in the hot springs.With a history of over 130 years, I think they are able to keep it clean.Please continue to do your best to protect our wonderful hot springs. I'm rooting for you.The dog was so cute.

Irresistible for secret hot spring lovers♨😌♨🍶This is a ryokan that I have been interested in for a long time.When I went to see Shidori Hidden Falls next to Mishaka Pond, I saw a flag for day trip bathing, so I went in.It's so old that I'm worried, but it's also good 🎵The inside is clean and the free rest area has a nostalgic atmosphere and is the best space where you can only hear the sound of the waterfall.The hot springs were hot, lukewarm, and cold from the source, and I felt refreshed and refreshed by taking alternate baths.The atmosphere in the slightly lit bathroom is also nice✨✨Fully equipped with amenities.Was it built in the Meiji era? I was told that the facilities are very old and that they are preparing for crowdfunding, so I would like to cooperate with them and go stay there next time.

I wanted to get some physical treatment and spend some quiet time in the mountains, so I decided to stay after reading the information about accommodation etc.It is said that this historic hot spring will heal you as time passes.It is a mysterious place with many gods around.With a small number of people, our staff members work hard and happily.The cheerful voice of the host will save your soul.The other staff members are also very kind and attentive.I am working hard even though management is tough.The atmosphere is very good and it feels like home.Very relaxingThe hearty rice is also very delicious.Highly recommended for those who want to relax or get treatment at a hot spring.If you don't like the appearance or want hotel-like service, I think you should go to a place like that.Very nice place, surrounding waterfalls, rivers, treeswonderfulIt's a place where you can feel the warmth and humanity.I highly recommend it.Winter can be tough if you don't have a studless or 4WD vehicle.I would like you to visit us.Please let me continue writingSorry for the typo

I went there the other day, so I'll write down my impressions.First of all, the hot springs are pretty good as mentioned in other reviews.There are 3 bathtubs with different temperatures, and the hottest one is probably around 39 degrees. I think the lowest temperature is around 20 degrees, suitable for long baths.Also, I can't say that the facility's facilities are good, even considering it's an old inn.The floor on the balcony of the rest room overlooking the waterfall was so sticky that I was sweating because I couldn't get through it.If I fell, I could die. Isn't it better to fix that? I don't recommend it to people who don't like old or dilapidated equipment.As for the meal, I tried the curry plan, and the curry was quite authentic and delicious, but I felt it was a little lacking for an adult male, so I recommend bringing something to eat when you're hungry. I think the regular plan for the seats had a good amount, so I think it's okay.The road to Oshidori Falls has collapsed and is now impassable, so I couldn't see the falls up close, so I'll omit it.Anyway, I highly recommend the hot springs.

I used it at a day trip hot spring.I don't care about the appearance, but the changing area in the bath is tatami? It felt damp and unclean.I'd like to see some flooring made from scum.The wood where the hot water comes out of the bath is rotten and has a lot of fluff, so I think it would hurt if I stepped into the hot water.I think it would be a good idea to fix what can be fixed and leave the good old parts.
