Stayed on consecutive Saturdays in October 2024.Make a reservation about 3 days in advance.The price was reasonable, so I was wondering, but it was the best!I think it really comes down to preference.It's quite difficult to go.It's a mountain road, so the road surface can be quite tough, especially in the winter. The location is in the mountains, so it's quiet, and the stars looked beautiful at night! There are a lot of channels that don't show up on TV, so it might be a good idea to just relax and not watch TV here... (You can watch YouTube because the internet is working fine)The toilet is in your room and has a washlet, so don't worry. All rooms are non-smoking (there is a smoking area in the hallway, so there is no smell)The baths, especially the open-air baths, felt lukewarm. The temperature of the hot spring source is around 42 degrees, so I'm a little worried about whether it will warm up in the winter. The temperature of the indoor bath was just right for October.I would like to go again, but everyone is different, so why not go based on the reviews?

Day trip bathing is not allowedIt's far away, so be careful if you want to take a day trip to the baths.

◆First visit in July 2020Accommodation for hot spring touring.It's a wonderful hot spring. My favorite iron-containing spring is the NaMgCa hydrogen carbonate spring. The oil temperature is also warm, so you can enjoy a relaxing soak on your own.The open-air bath and indoor bath are separate, so clothing is required.In addition to the hot springs, the food is also very delicious, and you can relax in the dining room where jazz music plays.The building has a retro feel, but the rooms have been renovated so there is no problem at all. Wi-Fi was also strong.It gave me the impression that it was a serious inn run by just two elderly couples.This is an inn that I would like to visit again.

I think tastes are divided into two.Everything in the inn is very, very old, but it's clean and dusty. The decorations are all unique.The open-air bath in the middle of the night (relaxed for up to 2 people) was extremely comfortable. I was also satisfied with the meal.

It feels like a hidden hot spring nearby.As an inn, it has reached its age.There is also WiFi, so there is no inconvenience. In terms of location, it may be easier to describe it as the innermost part.The room is exactly like an old inn.As others have mentioned, the bathroom is very nice. This inn has two types of hot springs drawn from it, and the indoor bath is the same as the inn next door, which is probably a muddy carbonated spring (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). You can soak in the warm water for a long time and it will warm you from the core of your body. Gentle and non-irritating to the skin. Moist and smooth after taking a bath.The open-air bath has a partition in the center, and there is a time difference from the source, so the water on the side where the source is injected is relatively transparent, and the water on the other side of the partition becomes cloudy due to oxidation. You can enjoy the same bath twice.Next is the meal. Delicious and ample quantity. I want to enjoy dinner with alcohol. Of course, the breakfast is also delicious.Particularly noteworthy are the various crafts and folk crafts that the husband bought from his travels. Where and how many times have you been? There are so many different things, rich in quantity and variety.Glass vases and other items are displayed in the dining room and are wonderful.The landlady is also friendly and makes for a lively conversation.You can relax and unwind at a hot spring inn deep in the mountains.There is one difficulty. As it is an old inn, it is not wheelchair accessible.

It was an inn with very unique furniture and furnishings. I felt very good. However, it was a shame that it was covered in dust. If the cleaning is thorough, wouldn't it become a popular inn due to its uniqueness? I thought. There's a difference between old and dirty. I felt that the food was reasonably priced and had no problems. There is nothing to complain about since the hot springs are constantly flowing, no disinfection, and no added water. There are a lot of books (art books, manga, novels, etc.), but they are all covered in dust and poorly stored, and I feel like I can't stop sneezing when I open them, which was very disappointing.

Everyone at the inn was kind. The room feels like a grandma's house in the countryside, and the food is satisfying. You can enter both the indoor and outdoor hot springs with a 30-minute reservation. However, after 24:00, the baths seem to be separated into men's and women's baths. I thought it would be okay to reserve it for the entire time. When it rains, the TV doesn't seem to work. Well, it's in the mountains, so let's accept it as such without saying it's extravagant. Wi-Fi sensitivity was good.

A nostalgic retro inn!! ️When you enter the room, you feel calm and like you have returned to a house in the countryside.Relax and soothe yourself in the open-air bath.Be careful of horseflies, but that's normal in a bath in the mountains.I guess it's impossible for people who live in an environment like a clean room with no insects.The antiques displayed here and there are quite interesting.Fudo Myo-o was enshrined at the dining table (lol)
