It felt like a historic hotel with a Showa feel.The room is old and has a musty smell and doesn't feel clean.The same goes for the hot springs.For my meal, I had pheasant hotpot.I haven't eaten much pheasant meat, but it's bland and doesn't have much flavor.The yukata has been used many times and the fabric is very thin and has a strange smell.But some things were goodThe time I stayed was around mid-June.I was enchanted by the beautiful voices of the frogs echoing outside.A wonderful cry that you will never get tired of hearingIt was the best BGM from dinner to sleep.

I went there in May with my husband and wife, and in June with a friend and his wife. The building is old, but the hot springs are of good quality. …

I visited in early September because I was told that I could take a hot spring bath early in the morning.It was closed as it appeared to be undergoing renovations.I remember that there was a website when I looked it up the day before, but when I looked it up the next day it was gone.

The quality of the hot springs is very, very good!Isn't it recommended for a day trip?However, if you are staying overnight, be careful!The whole room smells musty lolGigi Baba was staying next door and said the same thing, so I might be almost certain.Since it is built on a cliff above the river, the humidity is probably high all year round.The restoration of various parts of the hotel is second to none.However, the spring quality is certainly good.Dogo will probably lose customers, so they won't be able to raise funds for renovations.However, if you don't mind that, the accommodation is cheap, the hot springs are good, and the food is standard, so I highly recommend it.It would be a good hotel if it didn't smell musty.

It seems that it will be closed for the time being due to renovation from August 24, 2022.The reopening date has not yet been determined.-----------------------2020/09, I'm writing this review right now from inside the futon in room 106 lolWaking up to the morning sun while listening to the sound of a stream on a fluffy futon... what a wonderful wake up.I got a room with a bath, so I took a bath as soon as I woke up.The building is quite old, and the food menu doesn't change over the years, which is a bit of a problem, but it's a hot spring inn that I really like.The specialty for dinner is boar pork hotpot😋I like this.Previously, the room had a terrible smell of cigarettes, but now all rooms are non-smoking and very comfortable!The tatami mats in the room are green and clean, as if they have just been renovated a little.The selling point of this inn is the smooth, flowing hot springs.The large communal bath also has a sauna, and the cold bath is a home-style bathtub that was forced on later, but the cold bath is also a hot spring bath.Maybe the shower in the large public bath is also a hot spring?So luxurious!The public bath is open from 6:00 to 22:00, and day visitors are welcome, but I think the reception was open until around 17:00.There may be restrictions due to the coronavirus, so I think it's better to inquire in advance for day trips.Of course, the bath in the room also has natural hot spring water.Because the boiler is turned off, hot water will only be available until 22:00, but the hot water in the bathtub will stay warm for a while, so if you just want to soak, you might be able to stay until around 0:00, depending on the temperature.It depends on the room, but some rooms have a faucet with a temperature-controlled cold source.This time it was a room with a massage chair 😁I have never met her, but the landlady seems to be fond of drawing, and there are always beautiful postcards in her room.Although it is an old hotel, it is relatively well-maintained and clean.It's built right next to a mountain stream and has hot spring water, so there's a slight musty smell in the hallway, but I think this can't be helped considering the location and age of the building.For better or worse, this is an old-fashioned rural hot spring inn, so you may feel that some of the facilities and services are not up to snuff compared to modern, luxurious inns.There are many slopes and stairs inside the building, and the only way to get to the public bath is by stairs, so it is not suitable for people with walking disabilities or the elderly.Since it is located in the mountains and transportation is not convenient, you will have to use a car, but it is still a hot spring inn that you should visit to enjoy one of the best hot springs and nature in Shikoku ♨One thing that I'm always very happy about is the cold water pot provided before I go to bed.Enjoying a bath in your room and drinking a glass of cold water is bliss.I don't want to go home...We do not recommend this hotel to those who are looking for luxury hotel-like services and sparkling clean facilities, but we highly recommend it to those who love hot springs, who just want to avoid hot springs, and who like retro inns.

This inn is located at Nibukawa Onsen, a 20-minute drive from Imabari IC on the Shimanami Kaido. ||The building and reception area both have a retro Showa atmosphere. …
