The people at the hostel were very nice and we went to see the fireflies together. I'm glad I was able to do it easily. Both the food and the hot springs are goo!

Accommodations where you can stay alone are helpful. There seemed to be a lot of people taking hot spring treatments or being alone. The room is 6 tatami mats, has no toilet, and has terrestrial TV and Wifi. Although it was June, the sunlight in the room was hot so I turned on the air conditioner, but at night I slept with the window open and listened to the river's seseragi. There is a communal refrigerator and vending machines for beer, chuhai, and highballs. There are no convenience stores nearby. The breakfast and dinner served in the room was delicious. It would have been better if they had a delicious cold sake instead of the local sake included in the drinking comparison set. I recommend the nearby soba restaurant Yashio.

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because you can take a bath (38 degree warm water) 22 hours a day (you can't take a bath for 1 hour at 11am and 11pm due to cleaning).I also liked being able to reach the bathroom 5m from my roomBreakfast and dinner are served in your room.I was very satisfied with my three-night, four-day spa trip.

The old guest rooms in Yamago are simple and not large, but they are clean. The food is simple and good, home-cooked food from the mountains. The hot springs were lukewarm and so wonderful that I wanted to soak in them over and over again for hours.

It takes about 30 minutes by car from the station, but a shuttle service is available if you make a reservation in advance.The toilet, sink, and refrigerator are shared, but they were all clean.The room is not large, but it is clean. The food was served in the room and was delicious.The important thing is that the hot springs are warm, so I was able to soak in them for a long time.

I used it for vacation for 3 nights and 4 days.・WiFi is strong enough・The bath is good. hot water is soft・When I called in advance, a car came to pick me up at Nasu-Shiobara Station. Even though it's solo. The time seems to be fixed, but there are very few buses on Saturdays and Sundays at Itamuro Onsen, which is helpful.-The walls of the room are thin. I could hear the person next door snoring, so it was a good idea to bring earplugs.・Other people staying at the hotel were elderly. It looks like he was having a serious hot spring treatment.・This may be the case with all inns, but since there are many dishes, I asked them to reduce the amount of white rice in half. Still, I gained 3 kg (sweat)

I have used this accommodation twice.After all, it's good for people who like lukewarm water.The prices are also reasonable, and the food is homemade and satisfying.When I stayed in the winter, I didn't notice it, but when I stayed in the summer, the room smelled a little musty, so I solved it by opening the window.Recommended for those who want to soak in the hot water slowly.

Stayed alone on Sunday.The toilets are separate for men and women, one step walk from the room.Baths are separate for men and women, 24 hours a day, and 5 steps from the room.This is an inn with very good circulation, where you can eat in your room, eat, take a hot spring, and enjoy the process over and over again.The hot water is clear, lukewarm, constantly flowing, and kept at a constant temperature.I had a slightly more luxurious dinner, and although the sweetfish was a bit fishy, the rice was delicious and I finished it all.There were no children and I was able to sleep soundly in a quiet inn.

The lukewarm water had a fresh feel, and although it was tasteless, odorless, and colorless, it was so comfortable that you could stay in it forever. Luxurious sataraya where you can watch the overflowing hot water.Another great point is that you can check in at 14:00. After taking a bath, we had an elegant time having tea at Suikintei, the cafe space of Daikokuya across the street. Although it is for hotel guests, it is also available to the general public, and the coffee is reasonably priced at 550 yen.Going back to the topic, at Shofukan, the toilet and sink are shared, and the room was not very spacious, but the price was cheap considering it was a long holiday, and was 1,100 yen more than the regular price. .The chestnut rice rice for dinner was especially delicious. I would definitely use it again.

It's nice to take four warm baths and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals in your room. I was able to choose a pressureless futon and a pillow of my choice, which alleviated my lack of sleep. It was a relaxing stay that will definitely make you want to come back again. If you don't like sharing toilets and washrooms, please don't do so. It is a beautiful old inn that makes up for it. I hope you do your best.

I made a reservation for 2 nights through Rakuten Travel.- Select check-in time of 12:00 when making a reservation. When I went to the inn a little after 12:00, I was told, ``Check-in starts at 2:00 p.m.''(The hotel then apparently called Rakuten Travel to make a correction.)・Put your outdoor shoes in a plastic bag and take them to your room.- When I told them that I would not be wearing a yukata, the waitress was very happy and took the yukata obi from the room.・When I asked for a change of bath towels in the morning of the second day, I was told that ``bath towels are changed every two or three days,'' and I was not able to change them.・At dinner on the second day, a sake comparison set that I had not ordered was delivered to my room. When I told him that I hadn't ordered it, he said, ``It's a set with yesterday's alcohol...'' and then said, ``I'll check,'' and left the door to the room open for a few minutes. As a result, it turned out that the order was for a different room.There were a few small incidents, but the warm hot springs and food were great.

It was a great low temperature hot spring during this hot season.The rice was so delicious that I ended up eating too much.Also, if my schedule allows, I would like to go to a hot spring.

Lukewarm water with 100% free flowing water from the source. Within 5 minutes of taking a half-body bath, you'll start sweating and feel warm! It feels so good ⭕️ I can stay in it for a long time. Your skin is smooth.The room and bathroom are very clean. The cleaning is thorough. The food is also very delicious 😋 I want to stay for at least 2-3 days!

This is a Showa-style inn.The food was homemade and gave me a nostalgic feeling.The hot spring is a little small, but you can soak in the warm water slowly.The proprietress and other staff members are very kind.I will definitely stop by when I come to Tochigi for camping.
