The room and bathroom were okay.I didn't think anything special about dinner, but my family had a bad reaction.In the morning, there was no shaving machine in the room, so I asked the front desk and they said there was one in the public bath. When I went to the public bath, it was until 9 o'clock. Sad.The guest rooms, bathhouse, dining room, and parking lot all have slopes, making it difficult to get back and forth. I think it's hard for grandparents.☆3 is the limit even if you include the memory correction of the trip 😇

The price is that of a high-end inn, but the interior has the cheap atmosphere of a municipal hot spring.It's good because it's very well maintained, but for this price, the breakfast buffet is lower than that of a business hotel, and the dinner is amazing with each elaborate dish, but for some reason it lacks warmth. The facility was cheap.The only good thing was the waterslide at the pool.

I used it for a night in the car. You can enter the hot spring as many times as you like, but it is a little far from the parking lot for sleeping in your car. The toilet is also inside the building, so it's also far away. The parking lot is not well maintained at all, but you can sleep in your car and there are tables and chairs available, so it's a good point. The stars were so beautiful.

Although the public bath does not have a sauna, it is spacious and clean, and the water quality is soft and pleasant!We also recommend going with your family!It's an open locker, so we recommend taking as few valuables as possible!There are lockers for valuables (free of charge), but large items cannot be stored in them.There is a river nearby, so it might be a good idea to stop by on your way home in the summer!

I used it at a day trip hot spring. There's also a pool, so you can enjoy it with your kids as well. There is also an open-air bath and a sleeping bath. I heard that the starry sky looks beautiful at night, so I wanted to go there at night.

We used glamping and lodging as a set.We were able to enjoy camping in a very quiet environment.The joy of making coffee early in the morning while listening to the chirping of birds ♡It was a trip that killed two birds with one stone, as we were able to use accommodations, hot springs, pools, and even enjoy camping.I would like to use it next year.

The futon smells so bad it's itchy...I can't sleep unless I'm tired. The level you notice when laying a futon. When I woke up, my hair and body smelled like a rag. …

Check-in at the front desk is quick and comfortable.The handrails in the open-air bath are sturdy, so there seems to be little risk of falling.However, the handrails in the indoor bath are small and scary.Dinner and catering service are also good and relaxing.No complaints about the breakfast buffet either.
