After staying at Oigami Onsen, I took a day trip to Kamimaki Onsen, which I had never been to before.I was very concerned about the following points and felt that the bathing fee of 600 yen was quite expensive.① There is a risk of theft as there is no lockable place in the changing room.②The bathtub was closed with a wooden lid, so I opened it myself. (There were 25 photos) There were also multiple spiders and insects in the bathroom.③The bathtubs are partitioned with wood in the middle, but the ones with hot springs are lukewarm enough for one person, and the ones without hot springs are even warmer (maybe around 20 degrees Celsius) and not suitable for bathing. ④Anyway, the situation is dirty. There are many green parts of the wood in the bathtub, and for those who do not have hot spring water, there is a lot of dirt floating around, such as grease and fine dust, so it seems that the bathtub is not cleaned every day.

It felt more like an old folk house than an inn. The staff at the store were very friendly and the inside really felt like an inn, so I was able to relax for the first time in a while. As it is in nature, the roads are narrow and I don't think they are in good condition, but I am glad that it was cool even without air conditioning.

This is an old-fashioned hot spring inn. Unfortunately, even though the guest room had a screen door, insects kept coming in and the fluorescent lights were exposed. The hot springs were relaxing.

The hot springs are calcium sodium springs.The hot springs are not bad, but is this the policy of the person who runs the business? Is it the mindset of the people working there? I don't know, but it's really dirty, and I don't think the bathtub is cleaned every day.There is a partition between the hot water coming from the source, and the hot water flows from the hot water to lukewarm water, but the lukewarm water looks like grease and small garbage. There were a lot of dirty things floating around.The hot water was clean, but I was too scared to use the lukewarm water.Also, a lot of the wallboards were peeling off, there was a lot of dust in the changing room, and the floor under my feet was dirty. I've been to many hot springs that are full of tiny pieces of trash, but this is the first time I've been to a hot spring that is so poorly cleaned.Even if it costs ¥600, I'd like to ask for at least some cleaning and relining of the bathtub. There are many day-trip hot springs in the area, but we would like them to be able to welcome our guests at all times, as a way to express our gratitude for the blessings of nature called hot springs.

It was like walking through the grounds of a private house.The room was clean.In winter, the wood stove in the entrance is lit (although it does smoke a bit), which is nice.The bath is covered with a wooden board, which you open. The water temperature is divided into hot and lukewarm areas.

I used the day trip bath. The floor, bathtub, and even the lid of the bath are made of wood, making it very relaxing. There is also hot water and lukewarm water. When I used it, it didn't seem like I could go to the open-air bath, but the view of the lush trees from the large windows was wonderful. This saves you 500 yen!

It was a nice hot spring inn where you could spend a relaxing and quiet time.As it is said to be often used for training camps, you can experience what it's like to live in a boarding house in a four-and-a-half tatami room.Recommended for those who want to return to living alone, or those who long for the boarding house life seen in baseball manga. On the other hand, if you are looking for luxury without any inconvenience or cleanliness without any dust, I think a hotel is better.The room has a kotatsu, a TV, and a heater, and you sleep on your own futon.There is a kitchen where you can use kettles, but there is a hot water pot in the hallway, which is convenient.There's also a 7-Eleven nearby, so when I buy cup noodles and rice balls and eat them, I feel like, ``I'm actually happy enough with these things'' (lol)I was imagining a building with more age, but it doesn't look old, probably because the wallpaper has been replaced.The hot water is said to be reheated from the source, and you can soak in it from 6am to 10pm in the well-built wooden bathhouse.I took a soak first thing in the morning, and as I gently stepped in by removing the wooden bath boards one by one, and repeatedly bathed in hot and lukewarm water until the sun came out, I felt a deep sense of happiness.Brown hot water flowers are dancing, but the bathtub is clean and moss-free.If you are really concerned about it, take a shower after taking a bath. (The ingredients in any hot spring are too strong to dry and remain on the skin, so it's best to rinse it off quickly.)Lastly, the landlady was cheerful and made us feel very comfortable. As I arrived at 7pm, she probably thought I wouldn't have much time to relax, so she asked me, "Are you going early tomorrow?"When I said, ``I'll be leaving around 8 o'clock, but I'd like to take a morning bath,'' she gave me a very nice smile, and I was relieved that she was proud of her bath.I would like to use it again when heading to Tanigawadake.thank you very much.
