The hotel was located along the river, so the view in the morning was nice, and the hot springs were nice too.Of course, the inside of the hotel was clean, and the bathroom was nice as well.

We had a very satisfying two days with three generations of our family. The red bridge in front of the hotel, the murmuring of the river, the lounge in the lobby, the hot springs, the restaurant, and the view from the room were all beautifully appointed, making it a wonderful space that I felt comfortable in. We are very grateful for the thoughtfulness of the staff. The food was delicious, especially the children's dinner set, which was served in a large bowl, and I was surprised at how visually impressive it looked, and the large number of items were all delicious and a big hit. Recommended for families with children. It must be difficult in the wake of this disaster, but I am rooting for you from the bottom of my heart.

I used the Amagase Onsen passport (1,200 yen for 3 designated hot springs. Purchased at the tourist information center inside the station). The hot springs had a slight sulfur scent and felt good. It sure looks like it will make your skin look beautiful. I was able to comfortably take a bath in the 110cm deep standing hot spring.Since it is a hot spring inside the hotel, the washing area is also clean. Of course shampoo and body soap included. There is also a hair dryer. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't use the steam sauna.The inside of the building has been renovated very nicely.A red bridge, a river, a mountain, a hot spring town, and many exposed open-air baths along the river (such as the hot springs in front of the station). It's a sight of an old-fashioned hot spring town. The anime ``Suzume no Tojimari'' was set in Yunohira Onsen, and I feel like it was influenced by this place as well.

I stopped by to take a bath, and the facilities were new and I was impressed by how clean it was.The luxurious hot springs cost 700 yen and were reserved almost exclusively for lunch on weekdays.An open-air 110cm deep bath,Easily apply water pressure to your entire bodyIt was good.As Yoshirin says,I feel like my blood cells are increasing.I was told that the men's and women's baths are changed daily.Please call to confirm deep baths.

Seitenkaku, whose symbol is the red bridge♨️Crossing the bridge and checking in is a very exciting situation.From the entrance to the lobby, the common space where you can get coffee and water is very stylish and sophisticated.I'm happy to be able to choose a yukata!Also, I would be happy to receive a Seitenkaku bag![Room]Book a room facing the river.Although it has not been renovated, it was kept clean and I was able to relax comfortably.I wish I had a clock.How about the snacks provided are from a nearby Tashiro shop instead of ginger rice crackers🤔I would be happy if the souvenir department could be expanded a little more.[Meals]The most appealing thing about Seitenkaku was,It's a meal! ! !The restaurant has also been beautifully renovated. It's nice to be able to eat in a semi-private room without worrying about those around you 😋💓🍴What an elegant time it was to be able to eat while watching the Yufuin no Mori-go go by.The rice is plentiful and even a big eater like me was satisfied.All dishes were very delicious!I could feel that they were very particular about their dishes ☺️✨【 hot spring 】The hot spring water has a faint sulfur scent.There were not many showers in the public bath, so I sometimes had to wait a while.I was so happy to see Sekkisei skin care products in the changing room!I was thrilled to find such a wonderful inn in Amagase 🥰Looks like I'll be a repeat customer🥰

I arrived late, but they welcomed me and made me feel at ease. The lobby is very nice and it's a relaxing spot where you can drink coffee while looking out at the river on the terrace. Of course, the hot water was also very pleasant. The dining area was a semi-private room, and you could relax in a yukata. The food was also delicious. The red bridge at Amagase Onsen has an elegant atmosphere, and the morning view from the middle of the bridge is very nice. The inn is still undergoing renovations and is not fully open, but you can feel the care and kindness of the innkeepers. thank you very much.

This is a long-established hotel in Amagase Onsen. It has been renovated after a major flood and we were able to spend a comfortable time there. Hot springs often smell like sulfur. You can take a long bath at the appropriate temperature. However, the open-air bath lacked a bit of elegance, which was a bit disappointing. The food was delicious and the quantity was sufficient. There are no places to play around, but I think it's quiet and nice for relaxing.
