I think it's a matter of compatibility, but I went there looking forward to the meal, and the most delicious thing on the dinner menu was the eggplant. I was looking forward to the carp stew, which I was most looking forward to, but I couldn't stand the unique smell of carp, and I couldn't eat the venison either. Other dishes such as tofu, tempura, and pickles were simple and delicious. Especially the breakfast was really delicious and I ate everything.

It would have been even better if there was an open air. It was like warm seawater!!

My husband and I used it during the Obon holidays. It is a member inn of the Japan Secret Hot Springs Preservation Association, so if you make a reservation from the association's website, you will receive a stamp in your stamp book.As for the location, it's amazing. As you drive all the way through the mountainous roads where cars can barely pass each other, you'll come across a sign that says it's the most beautiful village in Japan.After entering the village, I ran for a while and finally arrived.The building feels like home, but the inside is very well kept and clean. There are a lot of young employees, and it's very lively.The room was a 10 tatami Japanese style room, but it was perfect for two people. However, the sink was small and I had trouble putting things on it. Also, since I went in the summer, there was no problem, but there was no hot water. Since it only uses water, what will happen when it gets cold?There is no elevator, so you will need to take the stairs to go to the bathroom or to the dining hall.There is no open-air bath. The water is quite hot and clear. However, the hot water has a high salt concentration, so your body will remain warm for a long time after you get out of the bath. My eyes stung a little.You can enter until midnight.The meals are also locally produced for local consumption, with vegetables and rice from Oshika Village. Some of the vegetables were grown in Sanshiodate, and the meal was very delicious. I also had the precious mountain salt from Shio Jiji for the first time, and it was mellow, not sharp, and very delicious.The number of accommodations I would like to visit again has increased by one. Next time, I hope to be able to visit with my son who couldn't come with me this time.

I was surprised that it was actually in the mountains, but once I got inside, it was beautiful, the customer service was great, the salt hot springs, and luxurious meals made with local ingredients.It was a wonderful inn.

Amenities such as cheap toothbrushes and no razors are not good! Also, the rice is too soft (although you may have a personal preference)❗Not at this service at this price! However, the hot water was good.

The hot water was strangely salty even though it was deep in the mountains, and it was refreshing and smooth.I stayed in a room called Mica, and the relaxing chair was comfortable.The food was delicious with a variety of dishes.

When we arrived and entered the entrance, there was a lounge with a calm and reassuring atmosphere. I don't think it can be helped if various services have changed due to the coronavirus, but if you enter your room after 4pm and the futon is already laid out, it's a bit difficult to take a vacation, so if possible, prepare the futon during dinner. I'd rather get it. We had our own pace from the next day onwards, so I didn't mind him not coming to clean up the futon. However, having one mattress can hurt your back, so it might be nice to have the option of having two mattresses. All the staff were kind and made me feel comfortable.

It has almost the same salinity as seawater, so it's pretty salty when you lick it, but it's a strange hot spring that doesn't taste bitter or harsh even when you drink it, because it doesn't have much magnesium.Because of the high salt concentration, your body will be so warm that you won't be able to stop sweating after taking a bath, but you will feel moderately tired and sleep well.There is only an indoor bath, and there is no open-air bath.In addition, the rice options included carp stew, deer carpaccio, salt-grilled rockfish, kudzu leaves, and zucchini tempura. Everything was simple and delicious.

A hot spring inn deep in the mountains of southern Shinshu.I'm glad I had a private meal.This is because they have a rich lineup of alcoholic beverages, and I was able to enjoy them slowly.You can also enjoy famous local sake such as Daishinshu and Dawnmae!*This is not a room meal.The view of the trees through the large window of the bath seemed quiet and melancholy as the harsh winter was just around the corner. I think it's really beautiful during the autumn leaves and fresh greenery, but it wasn't bad to be lost in thought in late autumn.

I think it's a standard inn for a group that protects secret hot springs, but considering the quality of the dining room, 23,000/person is too expensive.The plan was to have a meal in a private room, but the food came out too early, and I didn't understand the fact that it was written on the card on the table that it should come out early for customers. On the day of the meal, I was asked when the soba noodles would be brought in. I asked them to wait a little later, but they brought them right away, and when I went to the kitchen, they said they were ready, so they brought them over, which I didn't understand. There wasn't.

Renovated bed room ( ^ω^ )You can choose between a Japanese-style room with a futon.There are currently no drop-in hot springs available.

The hot springs alternated between hot and cold, and although the source was salty, it wasn't sticky and felt good. The scenery is also great. The food was simmered with carp and served with venison, giving it an extraordinary feel. I was able to relax. Even though the starry sky was beautiful, I fell asleep.

This is a hidden hot spring deep in the mountains.If you go further down the mountain path, you will find an inn surrounded by greenery.Although the hot spring is located deep in the mountains, it has a salty taste, and the mountain food served with salt made from the spring source was exquisite.It's especially delicious for breakfast and dinner just with hazakake rice, which is rarely eaten these days, and this salt.It's quiet and relaxing.

Both dinner and breakfast were very delicious. I was surprised by the delicate seasoning, which seems to have been carefully crafted and carefully selected over a long period of time. It seems that there are some negative comments from other people, but it's just not to their liking, and I think such people should choose an inn that serves hamburgers.

The food was made with local ingredients, but there were some parts that I wasn't very good at.The hot spring water in the bath is cold, so we took turns bathing in it for an eternity.The hot water was good!

You can alternate between cold and hot baths.I'm sad that there's no open air.The food was not good. We serve two carp dishes, one of which is boiled.Personally, I wasn't good at it.I can't eat tempura because the oil is more oily than the actual ingredients.Also, the carp tempura was too oily.Chawanmushi also has a weak taste.The boar hotpot was also bland and not very good. There is no problem with hospitality, but I would like to have dinner privately.I didn't think the food was delicious.Morning was normalI feel like it's not worth the price.

Corona pandemic compared to 3 years agoPrices have gone up, food has gone down, service has gone down. The presentation used to be polite, the utensils were properly set, and there were a lot of items.Disappointed😵⤵️I won't repeat it.It's a shame, even in these times. At times like this, I wish things would remain the same.Lowest of 4 timesHospitality: I don't feel any love at all.No conversationIt was more administrative-like. It was lonely since we were in one group, so it wasn't fun.Probably on the verge of going out of business
