I stayed here with my family without meals. The building itself was showing its age, but the room and hot springs were clean and comfortable. There was also a yukata for a small child, and they even provided a futon for the infant, which I hadn't asked for, so I was able to sleep soundly. Thank you very much.

When I first came here, the indoor bath and large public bath were large, and all the baths were good, so I decided to stay here for the second time. The staff at the front desk greeted me politely with a smile, so I had a good impression. This time, I also enjoyed the sauna!
