Day trip hot spring until 14:00 ♨️ We arrived at around 13:00 with a safe price of 1100 yen.The parking lot 🅿️ is spacious, but there is a steep slope in front of it, so it might be a good idea to bring snowy tires in winter 🤔At the entrance, get a license plate and hang it around your neck, then walk down the large grounds to the front desk.Buy a ticket 🎫 from the payment machine at the front desk, go to the back and take the elevator 🛗 to the bath on the 1st floor.The indoor bath and the open-air bath with a view of the waterfall are separated, so you will need to change your clothes before moving.After taking a bath ♨️, there are many exhibition rooms from the past until 15:00, so it was fun to have a time machine 🚶‍♂️ experience while heading to the parking lot 🅿️😎Next time, let's relax on the 6-hour day trip course 😁

Thank you for your help during my trip with my partner.I chose a room with a bath attached.At check-in, we were informed that it would take about 40 minutes for the water to fill up.The facility is quite large and it is quite a walk from the parking lot to the check-in counter.If you have large luggage, the staff will carry it by car.If you have to walk a short distance from the check-in counter to your room, the staff will help you carry your luggage.There are two hot springs, one of which is an open-air bath. The river was right next to it, and the scenery was beautiful and soothing.Both dinner and breakfast were delicious.I had a very luxurious time.

I was lucky to visit the day before the typhoon 👍I visited with a day trip plan that includes a room with lunch included.The hot water, food, and room were wonderful✨✨✨Clothes and towels for the hotel were provided, and even though it was a day trip, it was like staying overnight. The staff's response was wonderful and I felt relaxed and healed from the bottom of my heart.The nostalgic tour course was also very fun, and I was absorbed in playing things like target shooting, smart balls, and scooping up goldfish that brought me back to my childhood (lol).After taking a bath in Yakushi no Yu, I took a rest in my room. Afterwards, fill up on Joshu Sukiyaki Gozen. From 15:00, take a leisurely bath at the stall. After relaxing in the room again, I checked out. It’s the best🎉It looks like it will be closed for repairs starting in September. I will definitely use it again once it is renewed 💕

Houses from the era that have been carefully preserved and managed. It was like being in a museum where you could touch the many ancient works of art that had been collected. I was also able to hear many stories from the manager. The food is delicious, and the hot springs are wonderful, with an open-air bath overlooking a waterfall and a hot spring bath while listening to the sound of the river.The hospitality of the employees was excellent and I was able to spend a relaxing time in the secret hot spring.

It was a great stay, with delicious food and local sake, a spacious and refreshing hot spring, and great hospitality from all the employees! In particular, the dinner with lots of local ingredients and the view of the waterfall from the open-air bath were amazing.I didn't have children with me, but what about playing? You can enjoy summer festival-like activities in this space, and the grounds are spacious and the building has a great historical atmosphere, so I think kids will enjoy it too.

Visited before 2023. |The water in the open-air bath in the guest room is not hot spring water, but hot spring water. The mountain spring water he brews is very good. |I want a spring in my house. …
