A large inn with many roomsThe customer base is older, and the staff members are also older, so you can feel at ease with the customer service.The interior is very beautiful, and the room and public bath are clean!Since it is a circulating system, there is a slight smell of chlorine.There is a large public bath and an open-air bath on the 1st and 3rd floors.The first floor is quite spacious and has a new construction.Buffet style at night and morningAll drinks in the refrigerator in your room are free to drink.I think you can buy ice at the store😢If you don't mind the natural hot spring water, this is a recommended inn.

[About hot springs]Since it said that it was a hot spring bath, I mistakenly thought that it was flowing directly from the source.When I checked with the staff, I was told that the open-air baths on the 1st and 3rd floors are fed by natural hot springs, but that is definitely a lie.I've been to more than 100 hot spring sources, but this is impossible.Isn't it better not to lie?First of all, the water is gushing out from the bathtub, and with the water flowing directly from the source, that will never happen.The amount of hot water in the area where the hot spring comes out is extremely low, the bathtub is too big, and it doesn't overflow.In other words, it does not flow directly from the source.I think the name ``Hot Spring Inn'' is good for marketing purposes, but what do you think about the name, which is misleading to users?What's the point in having your staff lie?Unless I'm a hot spring fanatic, I'm being fooled.【room】Beautiful, spacious and very satisfying【meal】about the bottom of the middle

I used it because of the high ratings, but I was disappointed. There were no issues with the staff's response or room cleaning, but the balcony was so dirty that I hesitated to open the window.The dinner and breakfast I was looking forward to didn't taste as good.
