I had lunch for the first time. The soba noodles were fragrant and delicious. Water and tea were self-serve and fresh incense was also provided. You can also get coffee after your meal for 100 yen.I always used the hot springs only. The hot springs had two indoor baths, a sauna, a cold cypress bath, and a lying bath at 30℃, so I was able to relax after the sauna. Regular customers took a bath after bathing and then left.The staff are also very nice.

It is easily accessible among the hot springs in Otari Village.It's a good place to take a cold cypress bath instead of a hot spring and stop by on your way back from mountain climbing.At the cafeteria, you can eat Otani soba, which is hearty and satisfying.

I used it as a stopover for walking the Salt Road.The hot spring water is thick and has a nice texture.Both dinner and breakfast are not high class, but they are tasty and filling. Especially for dinner, I was already full with rice, udon noodles, and handmade soba noodles. Of course, the number of dishes is also satisfying.I don't think this is a "cheap plan".I want to repeat it.

¥12,700 for 1 night and 2 meals including ropeway, gondola ticket, and free parking ticket. I think the cost performance is good. The handmade soba noodles I had for dinner were very delicious, and I was able to get a second helping of rice. The bed mats are also comfortable to sleep on, and you can relax in the hot springs.
