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.

Anyway, the hot springs were amazing ♨️ Although the hot springs are quite lukewarm, you can soak in them for a long time. The room felt old depending on its age, but it was very clean and had the feel of a good old hot spring inn. The staff were also very friendly and talked to me about various things. Dinner and breakfast were like inn meals and I could eat them slowly in my room. It was very delicious 😃 I definitely want to repeat it again ☺️

I tried to make a reservation from a certain travel agency's plan, but then I looked at the official page again. The official page said, ``Please be sure to bring proof of vaccination and testing,'' so I thought it would be a good idea to confirm this, so I called the hotel directly to confirm before making a reservation.Then, I was told that they would not accept me unless I had been vaccinated.If so, wouldn't it be necessary to clearly state this not only on the official website but also on the travel agency's plan? If a person who has not been vaccinated applies through a travel agency's plan, spends time, effort, and money, and is suddenly turned down and asked, ``Do you have a vaccination certificate?'', the person who went there What will happen?It's good to be bullish about popular inns. It's probably not a big deal because they don't have any problem with phone calls and one person has to stop going, but to avoid any trouble, travel companies also include policies that say, ``Persons who haven't been vaccinated will not be accepted.'' I think it would be better to clearly state in an easy-to-understand manner, such as "No vaccination certificate" or "Please be sure to bring proof of vaccination."

This is a recommended inn if you like hot springs.There is an overflow from the hot water tank, and the bath is very luxurious with running water.The room was spacious (with a wide veranda) and the food served in the room was delicious.You can stay in the hot water forever.By the way, the landlady said that they also accept day trips.From 12:00 to 15:00, groups sometimesI was told to call and confirm as there are times when the place is reserved and it is not available at that time.If I have the time, I would like to go there again.

It was an inn that I would like to come back to again. The food was delicious and served in large quantities. The host was kind and told me, ``Please take your time and relax,'' which made me happy. It was interesting to see some of the people who were like my aunts. I was glad that the customers were only kind people, bowing to each other when we passed each other in the bathroom. I hope it will be like this next time. thank you very much.

In downtown Yamanashi? I didn't know there were such good hot springs.I came across this place while searching for places that could be rented out.first...hot water!Absolutely zero sense of preparation...I went there without knowing about it, so I realized later that it was a pure hot spring...😅It's warm, but... it's warm.If you get carried away and take a long bath...😵The rice is nice too😚It was too much for us...💦At the end...The landlady is the best🙌That's crazy! That's crazy!It was 🤣

I used it for a day trip bath (1000 yen). The hot spring was a large amount of sodium chloride spring with a temperature of 37.5 degrees and pH 8.3. As I submerged myself, fine air bubbles began to form on the tips of my hair, and it felt extremely pleasurable to trace them with my fingers. It was an inn that made me want to stay at an old-style inn that I liked♪

miraculous hot springThe hot spring water is bubbling at a temperature of 37.5 degrees, which is extremely close to body temperature.After soaking in the thick water, you will feel incredibly smooth. And the stress-free hot springs give you the ultimate experience.The food and hospitality are also wonderful. Don't underestimate it just because it's a lonely hot spring town deep in the mountains. Rather than going from Tokyo to Chiba, Kusatsu, or Atami, this hot spring would be the best choice.

This is my second time. It's hard to make a reservation because it's always full, but I came here to relax in the heavy snow. Even though there are only indoor baths and private baths, I don't know why I want to take a bath here. It's because I can empty my head. The timing is right to leave. It's just the right temperature that you won't know. The sound of overflowing hot water and hot water being added echoes. It's so luxurious. I've been here 7 times. I don't overlap anyone, it's quiet, and I can relax my brain. I love it.
