In November 2022, I took my elderly parents to my favorite Shichimi Onsen. After Keizantei was closed, Momijikan was the only accommodation in Shichimi Onsen. That's unfortunate. I've been visiting Shichimi Onsen every year since I took a day trip bath at Sannoso and was impressed by the splendor of the emerald green sulfur springs, but it's been a while since I've stayed here. The small inn was very clean and well-maintained, very comfortable, and the food was well-planned with plenty of local produce, so I really enjoyed it!As for the hot springs...I don't have anything else to say. There is a charcoal bath where the towels are dyed black (there is a similar one at Okushiobara Onsen), an open-air bath that spreads out at the end of a cave-like passage, an open-air bath that you can take while looking at a mountain stream, and a hot spring bath that dyes your towels black. It's the best. Unfortunately, it was cloudy that day so I couldn't see it, but I think it would be great to go outside while looking at the stars. At that time, reservations could only be made by phone. It's not narrow, but you have to drive quite a bit on a winding road to get there. You may need to be a little more careful in the winter. This is a highly recommended accommodation!

Very good 🙆Used for day trips.Is this the only place you can stay at Shichimi Onsen now?Indoor bath, open-air bath, gray bath are all good.The gray hot water turns black due to sulfur and iron, so it was lukewarm and very pleasant.The open air is emerald green and overlooking the mountain stream flowing beside it, which is very nice. When you stand up, can you see it from the road?The raccoon dog is being fed and comes to the door to play. I'm not afraid of people at all. cute.There is a separate open-air bath near the parking lot for day-trippers. That's okay, but it's very hot!! ️2024/09/21

Located in a quiet area near a clear stream.A family of raccoon dogs (7-8) will welcome you at the entrance.The inside of the hotel has been renovated and is very clean, and the food is delicious and satisfying.The cloudy white hot springs soothed both mind and body.
