The sources are Yubatake source and Watanoyu source. The water that comes from the source is probably rare. The family bath on the first floor has a hot spring source, but it has a strong hydrogen sulfide smell, so it is recommended for those who like sulfur springs.The second photo is of the Tawata no Yu source, which used to dispense hot water next to the Senkaku, before it became a footbath.

I think it's quite good cost performance for the purpose of hot spring therapy.There are 4 bathtubs in total, 2 private baths for men and women.Three are Yubatake hot springs and one is a private hot spring source.As long as the person in front of you doesn't dilute it, it's perfect for those who like intense heat.It was close to Yubatake, so access to the outdoor bath was excellent.The rooms are spacious with tatami mats, no air conditioning, just a fan (even in August it's about 25 degrees, so no problem), but it seems there are some rooms with air conditioning.Toilet (with washlet) and washbasin are shared and the equipment is old.Parakeet is cute

Hot springs are the best!There are two family baths and separate baths for men and women.The room has the atmosphere of the Showa era, which is the perfect atmosphere for me, who was born in the Showa era.It's close to Yubatake, so you can go for a walk right away.Even if you come by car, there is a parking lot at the inn. Free.Thank you for being so kind to the host.You can also enjoy snacks and drinks in your room.The area around Yubatake is tourist-priced, so I think it's okay to have a drink here.

Location: Close to the bus terminal and Yubatake, convenient for sightseeing on foot. Next to 2 convenience stores.Service: The hospitality of the host is extremely polite.Room: Soundproofing is very poor. You can even hear the conversation in the next room.Hot springs: I don't think there are many inns where you can enjoy not only the Yubatake hot spring source but also the Wata no Yu hot spring source for the low 10,000 yen range/per night for two people. wonderful.The only thing I was concerned about was the soundproofing of the room, but considering the price, if you're planning on enjoying the hot springs, it's definitely a 5/5.
