2024.10.11The bathtub was small and the water was shallow due to a malfunction, but there was an open-air bath, and the open-air bath overlooking the mountains was nice 😉The price of the bath was cheap, and there were discounts for JAF and disability certificates. 100 yenIt was great that it was close to the Hirokawa Minami Interchange.

This place is (I think) tucked away in the mountains.For a bathing fee of 600 yen, there is a bubble bath, sauna, cold bath, and open-air bath.The hot springs had a good impression of being clean overall and seemed to be a place for local wives to relax.You can also eat in the cafeteria, and if you order a bento before entering, you can receive it when you leave.This was 1000 yen for lunch and bathing.

The path is clear and easy to navigate. It's almost a straight road. There were two women at the reception desk, and they were whispering about something during the reception process, so it didn't seem very nice. Since I was staying for two days and one night, I decided on dinner and breakfast times and was shown to my room. The room is a 10 tatami Japanese-Western style room. The entrance where you take off your slippers? I guess it was unnecessarily spacious (lol).It had a toilet. Tea was provided, but no sweets. A little disappointed (lol)There is almost no hot water in the pot.I guess the food is like this. I'll have it at the restaurant. It really looks like a diner, which is also a bit disappointing.If you don't drink, you may not have enough. I'm a glutton so that's how I felt (lol)The only downside is the bathroom.Day trippers will be there until 8:30pm, so it's unlikely they'll be able to take their time. There were many people with children, so children were running around. Many people ordered bath and meal sets. I think these two points created a relaxed atmosphere. For those staying overnight, the baths were available until 10pm, which was too early to enjoy the hot water at all.The open-air bath has a jacuzzi in the middle. The jacuzzi is nice, but the sound of the bell bugs has been cut in half. But I also like the jacuzzi. It's not a super public bath, so you don't need it. But I'm happy because it's there!! I have a strange feeling (lol)The indoor bath has a jet.Apparently the men's bath didn't have it, but the women's bath had peeling gel and sake lees packs in the washing area. This makes me happy.There is also a sauna. You can enjoy this in a short amount of time. However, since the time I can take a bath is short, I can't get enough of it. It's not very spacious, so if there are 4 people in there, you won't be able to relax.There is a hair dryer in the changing room. Although it didn't seem to be in the men's bath, there were also creams for stiff shoulders, hair growth products, lotions, and milky lotions sold inside the building.I don't think it's very common, but people with tattoos should avoid it.Although it is not written on the website, there is a large sign at the entrance that prohibits people with tattoos, organized crime groups, etc. from entering the bath. Furthermore, it is written in the bathing area as a reminder.My husband and I were both in the room, so it was a little cramped...Since I found out when I arrived, there was no way I could cancel, so I decided to take a bath in secret. I think it would be better to clearly state this on the website. However, I was surprised because there were no NGs on the hot spring trips I had taken so far.There was also a massage chair, but there was a sign saying it was out of use, perhaps because it was out of order. It's a waste~It seems like it costs a lot of money, but it's a hot spring! Since you're coming to rest your body, you might want to use it in a luxurious way! But you can't use it...Well, my biggest regret is the short bathing time during my overnight stay. I want to go in so many times, but I don't have time and I can't. The morning hours are too short, from 7am to 9am. Everyone is concentrating at this time, so it's not a big deal, but it's packed and we can't relax.

First visit for a day trip bath.The price is 600 yen for adults and 500 yen for JAF members with an additional 100 yen discount.They also have conditioner shampoo and body soap, and the cost performance is outstanding!There was also a lunch set, but it was a little late that day so it was sold out.I'll aim for this set next time (lol)It's a little deep in the mountains, but the roads aren't narrow, so I think it's easy to get to.There are two baths, a relatively small indoor bath (can't fit 10 people?) and a slightly larger open-air bath (this one had a nice atmosphere and felt great!), so I could enjoy it slowly.I think this is amazing considering prices have been going up so much lately.

The bath is a hot spring bath, and there is a slight peculiar smell. For day trip bathers, there was a value set course that included meals and bento boxes.

It's cheap, the quality of the spring water is good, there's a sauna and a cold bath, and I'm very satisfied with the price of 600 yen.
