Kofu is a quiet inn located in a secluded area of ​​Yumura Onsen.I used to stop by for a day trip and was surprised by the abundant amount of hot water. Also, it was extremely valuable to me that the temperature was around 39 degrees Celsius, which is close to the insensible temperature, so it didn't put a strain on me even when I was in it for a long time.The room is spacious, bright and clean, with a sink and refrigerator in the wide veranda, and a toilet near the entrance, which is perfect considering the price.I chose the most reasonable dishes, but I think the amount of sashimi, grilled food, fried food, and small hot pot was enough for a woman.I think it's a quiet and relaxing inn that is suitable for hot spring treatments for consecutive nights.

Stop by.The building is old but clean.The slippers are traditional hot spring hotel slippers, but they seem to be wiped clean before each use. I was cleaning it up while wiping it in front of me.I had a quiet and luxurious time soaking slowly in the overflowing hot water.It's nice to have cold water and snacks after taking a bath.It seems like it's hard to get a reservation, but I'd like to stay someday.There are towels with the inn's name on them in several colors, and they sell them at very cheap prices.

The hot springs are free-flowing from the source and available 24 hours a day, and the water is lukewarm, so you can take a long bath even in the hot summer months.The temperature is around 38 to 40 degrees Celsius. To prevent the cold air in winter, the bathroom windows have double sash windows and no screens. Breakfast and dinner were served in the room, which is typical of side dishes, but they were delicious. It was a memorable stay as a repeat candidate.

It seems that each inn in the Yumura Onsen area has its own hot spring source, and this one is one of them. The source name is "Jizo Onsen"In recent years, when they drilled deeper, they found that the water was overflowing with too much water.An incredible amount of hot water, the likes of which I have never seen before, overflows from the edge of the bath. You can sleep on the bath floor.Even though it's called lukewarm water, it's 39 degrees, so it's not cold water, and the water is gentle and doesn't irritate you, so you can stay in it forever.The room is usually right in front of the bathroom. 5 steps on foot. The room has a raised area, an alcove, a wash basin, a refrigerator, and a toilet, and you can see the river from the garden with a wide veranda. There is not a single dust in the room. Facilities such as toilets are also brand new. You can bring your own alcohol. There is a liquor store nearby where you can purchase the precious "Dan".Meals are served in your room. Everything was warm and delicious. The white rice is also shiny.What's more, the wife is kind and fun to talk to. It is rumored that baseball powerhouses have won the championship several times, and it is said to be a power spot.I don't think there are any accommodations as perfect as this one.It seems that single guests are allowed to stay on weekdays.

Although it was a short day trip bath, I understood just how good this place is, and I will definitely stay here next time.The hot water is a lukewarm carbonated spring, and if you stay here alone, you'll be able to get a break from the daily grind. I can't help but look forward to staying overnight and seeing how wonderful it is just by taking a day trip to the baths.

The flowing hot springs are impressive. Since the temperature is low, it can be kept for a long time. It's a little cold in winter, but other seasons are fine. The room was clean and the food was delicious.
