Even though it was a Saturday, a three-day holiday, I was able to stay for about 4000 yen!The facility is old, and the rooms are stained and poorly cleaned, but just taking a bath and sleeping is enough!The public bath was clean and the hot spring bath was nice. I can still smell the sulfur on my body. lolThere are no convenience stores or anything else within walking distance in the area, so I think it would be best to prepare some food while you're on the go or take it with you on a meal plan.Cup ramen, sweets, and beer were also sold in the hotel, so I guess I could survive an emergency with that.There seemed to be a variety of people staying here, including solo travelers, couples, families, and people from overseas.Highly recommended for those who don't need services and want to stay at a good price!

There are cases where the names of containers such as shampoo in the guest room do not match the contents (are they shuffled?). NoteLarge public bath is good

The facility feels old, but the breakfast was delicious and the employees were very kind, so I'm glad I chose this place.There are also some harsh reviews.I was satisfied, but I think it's not suitable for people who are looking for service like a luxury hotel.

I used it on an overnight tour sponsored by a motorcycle shop.The inside of the hotel feels old.The food was delicious.We leave it up to the guests to decide whether the banquet/breakfast rate is reasonable or not.

It was an old traditional room. It cost 9,900 yen for two people staying overnight without meals.The beach is right in front of you, perfect for swimming.

It's a cheap accommodation at 6,443 yen per night. There are stains in various places and it feels old. It's okay if you just sleep. Although it was a seaside inn, it had a mountain view with no view of the sea.

Used for day trip bathing. Price: 500 yen for adults. According to the hot spring ingredient list, it is a simple sulfur spring, but when I went there, there was no smell of sulfur at all, and it was an alkaline spring with only a smell of chlorine. However, since the pH value was 9.9, it felt quite slimy. There was only one medium-sized indoor bath, no open-air bath, and no sauna, so the facilities were quite lacking. I also feel a little uneasy about the fact that the free coin locker for valuables is in a separate room.
