It's a little over 30 minutes by car from Utsunomiya Station, surrounded by nature, with a river flowing right in front of you and a natural hot spring. And the situation is the best part. As for the facility, I think it's a building from the Showa bubble period, but it's an interesting structure. The lounge on the second floor is perfect for holding events.However, in terms of management, it is in a dilapidated state, as if it has failed once or is on the verge of collapse. It really feels like the Showa era. Cleaning is not done well at all. So I think the price is low.I think it will cost a lot of money, but I think it could be used a lot if it was cleaned up a bit and didn't feel run down.If I were a member of a hotel management company, I would want to submit a project proposal and make an acquisition plan.It has its charm.If I were to plan one, I would like to sell it as a hot spring business hotel with a Showa feel that can be used as a private property for events and training.If you want to feel the times, please go.

Visited on weekday daytime in September. 15 minutes walk from Ogane Station on the Karasuyama Line. Reception hours for day trip baths are 10:00-13:00, and visitors must leave by 14:00. Adults 800 yen. It is closed on weekdays, so it is best to check in advance.There is a large indoor bath and an open-air bath. Spring flow rate is 80ℓ/min, spring temperature is 64℃. Shampoo and soap available. Bring your own towel or rent one for a fee.Weak salt spring?A nice hot spring that warms you up. However, the large indoor bath and the open-air bath are not connected, so you have to take off your clothes each time, which is a hassle.As other people have commented, you can enjoy the atmosphere inside the hotel as if time has stopped.Please note that there are no places to eat lunch nearby, including within the hotel. There is one 7-Eleven. There is something like a cafe across the street, but what do you think?

I looked at Joe's blog. In particular, I am impressed by the staff who are able to provide such facilities at such a low price in a rural area with no tourist attractions nearby. People with low ratings probably don't know the word cost performance.

I stayed in a Japanese style room.The building is old, but the shower and toilet are well equipped and the wifi is strong, so it's perfect.The good thing about this brown hot spring is that it is hot and lukewarm, and there are not many people.The open-air bath, which was closed during the coronavirus pandemic, was fully operational.

I visited on a day trip.The quality of the spring is sodium, calcium, and chloride.The scent is sodium.The taste is salty and a little astringent.The bathing fee is ¥800 for adults.Business hours for day trips are 10:00-14:00. , Although it is a natural source, the amount of hot water is small and you have to put on clothes before going outside to enter the indoor bath and the open-air bath.I tasted the source, but the taste was different between the indoor bath and the open-air bath.The open-air bath was saltier. I strongly felt a slight iron content, but the indoor bath had a weak salty taste and a strong sense of sodium.Basically, if you like cleanliness, you won't be able to use it.Even if the hot water is fed directly from the source, you have to drain the hot water and clean it properly. However, if you look at the business hours and the amount of water from the source, you'll realize that it's impossible, so it's difficult to like cleanliness. ``I'll post a photo.'' I thought it was a waste of a good hot spring, thank you very much.

I came to the Karasuyama area for the first time in 23 years, so I stayed here. The deterioration over time is quite noticeable, but since the whole thing has been cleaned, I wasn't too concerned about it. The reviews are pretty bad, but considering the recent price increases and inbound demand, I think this price is quite cheap with two meals included. If you have any complaints, we recommend staying at a hotel that costs more than 30,000 yen per night. Even in business hotels in the metropolitan area, it has become common for rooms without meals to cost over 10,000 yen, so if you are going to complain, you should pay a certain amount. The facility is large and I think it would be difficult to maintain and manage it, but I will use it again.
