I stayed here for one night with my five grandchildren. The inn seems to be used a lot by mountaineers, but the room as well as the whole place was clean and comfortable. The meals were delicious both in the evening and in the morning (dinner was a Wagyu beef course grilled on a ceramic plate), and the menu for my grandchildren was also GOOD! I would also like to thank the staff at the restaurant for being very kind and attentive. I think this is a recommended inn when sightseeing around Nikko.

★Day trip bath 800 yenThe facility is clean.The toilets are also clean.Simple alkaline spring with pH 10.Heating, circulation and chlorine.Slimy hot water.It removes dead skin cells and leaves your skin smooth.It is often said to be a hot spring for beautiful skin.If it's not winter, it's just a little boiling, so the temperature is just right.It's surrounded by mountains, so it's very quiet, and the place is empty even on holidays, so you can take your time.I wasn't expecting much since the hot springs were not directly sourced, but the hot springs were better than I expected as they contained less chlorine.

Used for day trip bathing.The parking lot is surprisingly small, so if it's full, park in the parking lot reserved for guests. (Better to check with the front desk just to be sure)When you bathe in a hot spring, your skin becomes smooth.Be careful as your feet may become slippery.You will have to go up and down the stairs to reach the open air. The hallways are indoors, so they are designed to be used in cold weather. There is also a sauna.There is also a restaurant that is open to visitors, but it closes early.

It has been renovated, so it feels clean overall, and the meals, bathrooms, open-air baths, and in-house facilities are also excellent. …

This is a national lodging house located in a place where many industrial ruins of the Ashio Copper Mine remain in the surrounding area. I used it when sightseeing in Nikko, Lake Chuzenji, and the Ashio Copper Mine.The inside of the building was very clean and clean, probably because it had been recently renovated.The staff was very polite and I was very grateful.For dinner, we had beef stew, which is a reproduction of a recipe from over 100 years ago. This is also delicious! We enjoyed both fish and meat dishes, and the prices were reasonable even for a Saturday night stay.

The second floor of the hot spring facility is the accommodation room. Day-trippers can enter the hot springs until 3:00 pm, and overnight guests can enter the hot springs from around 3:30 pm. The rooms are simple but have all the necessary equipment and are within easy reach. The inside of the building is generally clean (has it been recently rehomed?).The hot springs are alkaline springs with a pH of 10, making you feel slippery in the bathtub and refreshingly smooth once you get out of the bathtub, making it a so-called beauty bath. It also contains carbonate, so bubbles appear on your skin, making it warmer than you think. It's a little disappointing that it's open until 10pm at night and 9am in the morning.In addition to fried char with open backs, the food includes sashimi, pork, and beef, all of which is typical, but has the taste of an elegant restaurant.There are only mountains around, and the world is not only quiet but also silent at night. If you are going for a walk or mountain climbing, be careful of bears.

The inside of the hotel looked like it had been renovated and was very clean and comfortable. It felt a bit like a facility...The view from the open-air bath is extremely pleasant.The water is smooth and warm.The food was simple but delicious. There were many products produced within Tochigi Prefecture.The hotel is located deep in the mountains, and wild deer can be seen jumping out on the way to the hotel.We recommend arriving before dark.

We are a couple in our 50s who stayed for one night on August 3rd.There are some places that look like national lodgings, but everything is clean and well maintained.Thank you for always keeping the bathroom clean.The woman at the reception desk, the man who was in charge of the food, and the woman who took the order form with a smile on the way home from dinner.Thank you to everyone working there for your smiles and kindness.Thank you for lending me chopsticks even though it was early in the morning, and for putting ice in my water bottle at breakfast.I hope those who use it use it neatly as well.I hope many people can feel happy here for a long time.Everyone is happy.It may be a place where there is nothingThe hot springs are also wonderfulIt's quietI felt there were a lot of good things about this place.
