Are the people at the inn deaf? When checking outUntil I paid the money and went out the door, there were a few greetings and conversations, and I didn't say anything was good or bad about this inn. I left the front door of the inn without talking to them.

This is my favorite strongly acidic sulfur spring. The hot water is good because it draws its source water from Shika-no-Yu. There are two indoor baths, and the one near the spout was too hot to enter, but the one in front was a comfortable temperature.The rooms at the inn look old and run down. The small Japanese-style room was nice and relaxing. I'm glad that there is good WiFi.It was good that the meals were served in the room.

Last June, I traveled alone for one night. The quality of the hot springs in the bath was excellent, but the water was so moldy that it was pitch black and I couldn't use the washing area, which was a shame because I couldn't adjust the shower. I think it would be a better bathroom if it was cleaned. I think it's definitely not possible for people who like beauty. Please be careful

I went with my husband who loves hot springs. (Day trip hot spring)To put it simply, the cleaning is not thorough and I would like to see a little more maintenance done.I go to Nasu often.One year, I stayed at a different inn for New Year's visit, and on my wedding anniversary, I stayed at a different inn in Nasu, but this may be a minor detail, but it was a disappointing day trip to the hot springs.When we arrived and left, we were greeted politely by an old man with a beard.The inside of the building was also clean until I went to the bathroom.However, there was mold growing on the walls and the lights were dim and eerie.The closer you get, the darker it gets, and the closer you go to the changing room, the darker it gets and it's quite eerie.A dark spot in the washroom of the dressing room.It may be a hot spring ingredient, but if it's that black, I can't do skin care comfortably.It can't be helped that it looks like black mold...The washing area in the bathroom is also pitch black.If it gets a little dirty, I'd like to do something like repaint it or something.There is no temperature control for the shower and it is hot.The quality of the spring water is very good.The water had a light sulfur smell, probably because it was drawn from Shika-no-Yu, so it was easy to get into. The bathtub was clean, and there wasn't a single piece of trash floating in the open-air bath, probably because of the rain, but the bathroom floor was trash? A tree branch? I don't really understand, but I was surprised because there were so many things.Management may be difficult, but I would like you to do what you can easily.

There are about 10 hot spring inns that draw water from Shika-no-Yu, and although the hot water is the same, this is probably the perfect inn for a Japanese inn. If you're on a day trip and just want to take a hot bath, Shika-no-yu is fine, but if you're going to have to wait in line just to get into the parking lot on weekends, Shimizu-ya is the best place to stay overnight and soak in the same hot springs with delicious food and wine. Since I went on the Sun and Moon, I hardly saw any other guests and had the bath to myself. It was really relaxing. At first, I thought it looked like a small inn with a lot of hair on it, but the hot water is drawn from Shika-no-Yu, so it has a nice flavor, the landlady is very courteous, and the food is delicious. I was surprised to find that they have a large selection of wines that go well with Japanese cuisine. I've been to Sesshoseki many times, and it was eye-opening to find such a good inn just below it. If you have time and come to Nasu Kogen, please stay overnight. If you like hot springs, you'll know how good this is.

It was the Saturday after Golden Week, but the place was empty so I was able to relax and relax.The bath was said to be a hot spring (sulfur) called "Shika no Yu", so it was milky white and felt good. The food was so delicious that I couldn't finish it all.

The first time, I suddenly decided to stay overnight...The second time, I stayed overnight with meals included.The food is delicious and you can relax in your room afterward.The 100% refreshing hot spring is Shika-no-yu.It's quite effective (*^^*) My body feels warm after putting it in many times.

This hotel is directly imported from Nasu Yumoto Shikanoyu. The sulfur spring quality is very good.There is also an open-air hot spring. Although the water temperature is relatively low, it is very comfortable for long-term bathing.It has the effect of promoting skin metabolism. You can see obvious effects after soaking it 2-3 times a day.The dishes for dinner and breakfast are sufficient and very exquisite in the Ryotei style.It is recommended to take the bus from Nasushiobara Station and get off at Yumoto 1-chome Station. Conveniently located

It's great to be able to enjoy the acidic and sulfurous smell of Shika-no-yu flowing directly from the Tamaranai source 24 hours a day.The quality of the hot water is reflected in the oxidation of bathroom faucets, which is often seen in acidic hot spring areas.The rooms are comfortable and the food is delicious and satisfying.There is a refrigerator, so it might be a good idea to buy your favorite drinks after taking a bath before checking in.You can also walk to the public bath at Shika-no-yu.I would like to ask you again.

I stopped by a hot spring on a day trip during the holidays. While there was a long line waiting for the parking lot at Shika-no-Yu, there was no one at this drop-in bath, so I had a relaxing time. It's not a big bathroom, but it's not small either, and there is an open-air bath, which is rare in Nasu Yumoto. Although the facilities are a little old, the bathroom was well-cleaned.We recommend this hot spring, which is more relaxing than the always crowded Shika-no-Yu.

Day trip bath 800 yen. From 10:30 to 19:00There is a large parking lot opposite.The free-flowing hot springs are reserved for private use at all times.The hot water has a large amount of yunohana precipitated in it and is very pleasant!There is also a lukewarm outdoor bath. You can enjoy the Shika-no-Yu source. recommendation.There are matches from the inn at the front desk.

Despite being a cheap inn, I expected a high quality hot spring.It's true that the hot springs are pretty good, but everything else...was way below my expectations.In particular, I felt that the overall lack of cleanliness and the amateurishness of the cooking were unacceptable.

I used it at a day trip hot spring.Needless to say, the quality of the spring water is excellent.The indoor bath was hot, but the outdoor bath was at a moderate temperature and I was able to soak in it slowly. The weather was nice that day, so I felt very comfortable. The parking lot is a little difficult to find, but it is located across the street from the inn. I think it's probably fine except for places with individual name plates.

Until now, Oshika no Yu is the best in the Shika no Yu series! That's what I thought, but I found something even better...Oshika-no-Yu is not bad, it used to feel like a little-known spot, but recently there have been a lot of customers, and I feel like the chances of it being washed away have increased.Shimizu-ya has the same quality of spring water, but the characteristic is that the water is lukewarm (← probably) depending on how well the water is drawn!What's more, it's nice to be able to enjoy lukewarm and normal-temperature hot springs in a fairly large bathtub, but there's also an outdoor open-air bath, albeit a smaller one, so you'll get three times the deliciousness in just one bath!Since most of the guests are overnight guests, there are few people who take a long bath, so you can stretch out your whole body and relax.Enjoy the sulfur springs of Shikanoyu to your heart's content!Please note that this is a somewhat old inn, so there are some spots that are noticeable. I feel that the cleaning is thorough, but I may not recommend it to those who want to be particular about the facilities.However, it is recommended for hot spring freaks, so please give it a try!

Last year, I was curious about what kind of accommodation to stay while viewing the autumn leaves, so my wife and I stayed overnight without meals (@10,800 yen), but it was a complete failure. There are several guesthouses and inns in Yumoto where you can enjoy Shika-no-Yu hot springs with two meals for 8,000 to 10,000 yen, but it's hard to wonder why this inn can charge over 10,000 yen for a room without meals. I wonder if customers who don't know other places will use it?

A retro Showa inn that is common in Nasu Yumoto Onsen. We chose this hotel because it is one of the few inns with an open-air bath that uses the Shikanoyu hot spring source. There is nothing wrong with the acidic spring water, which has a cloudy, sulfur smell.The check-in and check-out reception was completely unfriendly. Meals are served in the room and served all at once on trays, so the meat, which is grilled using solid combustion, is surprisingly cold. I would like them to reduce the number of items and think about quality. I felt that eating under a kotatsu with a futon over it also added to the sense of cleanliness.I know the equipment is old, but the mattress is thin and hard, with a thin comforter and one blanket. It was a cold winter, so even if I put the hard mattress over the comforter, there would be gaps and it was cold. Overall, the price seemed expensive considering the content.

Eating in your room under a kotatsu is a great winter experience. The Tochigi beef meal is delicious.There's nothing wrong with the hot springs. There are two bathtubs in the large public bath, but the larger one is so hot that it's hard to get into it...However, this is the perfect temperature for Kaburiyu, which is what Nasu knows about bathing. After taking this bath, it feels very nice to soak in the warm water.The washing area is poor, but the medicinal effects of the hot springs are much stronger, so it's not a problem. If you're not someone who feels that way, you might be worried about it. I think this is a ryokan where you can enjoy pure hot springs.It seemed like they were limiting the number of customers they could accept due to a lack of manpower, perhaps as a result of the coronavirus. Although we do not have the facilities and services of a resort hotel, we were treated well by the staff.

This is a small, calm and quiet inn.The hot water is drawn from Shika-no-Yu, and is the best hot, cloudy hot water. It has an open-air bath, which is unusual for a ryokan that draws water from Shika-no-Yu. In winter, depending on the outside temperature, it may be so warm that it is difficult to enter.The food is delicious and plentiful, so you'll be satisfied.The facilities are old, but that's what makes the place so relaxing. As other people have commented, the mattress is thin and hard. It would have been 5 stars if it had a mattress.This is not for people who like clean facilities, luxurious meals, and circulating hot springs containing limescale.

He has been going to this long-established inn in Nasu Yumoto for the past 10 years. It is a place with a long history, and the hot spring water is drawn from Yumoto's Shika-no-Yu, and the open-air bath and indoor bath are simply wonderful. The dishes are not flashy, but are simply delicious, making use of local ingredients. Eating meals in your room is a precious thing these days, and being able to relax without having to worry about anything is a great thing! I think it's perfect for relaxing rather than sightseeing. With the hot springs and good food, it seems like you were able to soothe your body while feeling the Showa era atmosphere. I hope to continue visiting in the future!
