Starry skies, clear air, peaceful rural scenery, and a place to relax in the south.The hot springs are the best, and the open-air baths are also great. The quality of the spring is good.The water does not get cold easily and is effective for lower back pain.The rooms are reasonable for the price.If you want luxury, go elsewhere.The scenery, the ripples on the shore, and the view from the guest rooms are also great. It's soothing. I often look at dragonflies and seabirds. There is a small refrigerator.There is a restroom. Morning bath hot spring until 9:002021. summerWell, here we are again.To be healed. This time it was a Japanese-style room.It's a rice cracker futon, and it was a little itchy.Wouldn't it be better to install a water cooler or cold water corner?At night, the front desk is empty.If you run out of water, you will have to go to the restaurant to get some water.There is no convenience store nearby, soI always buy mineral water.In a Japanese-style room, it seems better to put a mattress in the closet under the futon.As for breakfast and dinner at a ryokan, the food is the same every time, so I go to Tanabe to eat.Enjoy staying overnight without meals, for those who love hot springs, the ocean is right next to you, the sound of the waves is soothing, and there are plenty of insects.The futon is almost flatIf you get two of them, it will be pretty good.I'm very happy that there have been more massage parlors in hotels recently.
