I use it when fishing in Naoetsu. The twin rooms are spacious and my favorite hotel has a hot spring and sauna.

There are pros and cons, but I think it's on point. The prices are reasonable and the access is good. You can use the hot springs as much as you like.What I was concerned about was the bed. I felt a coil spring against my back.I think it would be nice to have a mattress.Voices can be heard from the hallway and the next room.

You can stay in the building across from the super public bath and have unlimited access to the baths.The price is comparable to that of a capsule, and even though it's a separate room, it's a high cost performance.The route taken when going from Gunma to Niigata or Toyama without using the expressway.

The quality of the hot spring water was very good.The breakfast curry was also delicious.All the mothers at the restaurant were nice people✨I stayed in the main building, but it was very small considering there was no bathroom.Also, the sounds of walking in the hallway and people talking could be heard in the room, so I had a hard time falling asleep and woke up very early in the morning.I stayed in a separate room for several nights, but the room on the first floor seemed to be echoing all the way to my room.Will you stay again? If you ask me, I can't say anything.

I searched for an affordable place to stay for one night.The annex was designed to resemble a worker's dormitory, and I felt it was worth the price. Please refrain from staying multiple nights for private reasons.

Accommodation in July 2024It's like a super public bath-like hot spring with an attached accommodation facility, and the price is reasonable at 5,000 to 6,000 yen. The quality of the hot springs is surprisingly good, making your skin smooth and giving you the feel of a hot spring.Parking is free and there is a restaurant where you can drink alcohol at night.

The quality of the spring water was good and I was able to relax very much. I stayed overnight without meals, but I was able to enjoy a meal at the izakaya in the hotel, so I didn't feel lonely even if I was drinking alone.The room was very clean and the bed was firm enough for my preference.This is an inn I would like to visit again.

The facility is mainly a public bath, but it also has lodging facilities.For guests staying at the hotel, bathing in the public bath (including a sauna) is included in the price, and it is a great deal to be able to use it as many times as you like during business hours.There is also a pub in the building and a massage machine (for a fee).Unfortunately, the floor in the annex is thin and the sound of walking in the hallway can be heard in each room.

First of all, the quality of the hot spring water is very good! Hot water with so much salt that it makes your skin feel slimy. I think my skin will be beautiful... ♪ And a sauna. I'm very happy to have a high temperature and lukewarm salt sauna! This alone makes me want to visit again.Are the buildings and rooms originally a training camp? It was a practical place (separate building), but it was clean and had everything you needed. There were plenty of coin laundry facilities, which was helpful! I felt a little nostalgic remembering the license training camp ^^And...it's wallet-friendly! ! It was around 6,000 yen for two people on a weekday in June. However, since I made the reservation in a hurry at the last minute, I didn't realize that it had been automatically set for another day, and I was shocked when I checked in (T_T)There was a room available for 3 people, but it was going to be a little expensive, around 9,000 yen, but I wanted to use the sauna and hot springs, so I asked if that would be fine, and they gave me an extra 8,000 yen (for 2 people). Thank you for your help!The next day, I stayed at a hot spring inn in Toyama, and I thought it was reasonably priced and did a great job with the hot springs, sauna, and service, but I liked the quality of the hot springs in front of the gate, the sauna, and the ease (it felt like home, haha). Here it is♪For breakfast, there is a restaurant (Tokuichi) along the coast that opens in the morning, so I checked out early and went there. If you have a car, we recommend eating at local restaurants and markets. It felt great running along the coast! (I don't drive though! lol)My miscalculation was that I was full in the morning and wasn't hungry until dinner...I want a strong stomach like Goro Inogashira!By the way, for dinner, I usually go to Zaki, a set meal near the station (this is only my second time there, haha). Naoetsu is a port town, so if you want to enjoy the local feel at a reasonable price, this is the place for you.

The bath is small for a super public bath, but there are two saunas, one low and one high temperature. There was no morning bath when I stayed there. I stayed in a separate building from the front desk, but the room was small with no toilet, sink, shower, etc.However, there are restaurants within walking distance, so I think the cost performance including accommodation is good.

May 25, 2024 AccommodationI stayed in a single room in the main building with breakfast included.I wonder if the room has been renewed? It's a beautiful but quiet place, so I could hear the hallway and other drainage sounds.The door didn't lock automatically, and the bed was 140cm long, but I laughed because the bed pad was about 110cm long for a single bed, and there was about 15cm left on each side.There are two outlets at the bedside and two at the desk, which is convenient, but there is no lighting above the desk and there is no desk light, so when you sit at the desk, you see your own shadow on the desk, and the wall light on the side of the bed is on the desk. Did you put it on by mistake? I thought it might not be suitable for work.The worst part was that the Wi-Fi, which was said to have been renewed, wouldn't connect at all, and I went to the front desk and was told the IP address and entered it manually, but it connected, but the speed was completely unusable.They said they were arranging a contractor, so I hope things will improve.Also, since everything is Wi-Fi, there is a LAN cable connector, but it cannot be used.Although it is small, there is a hot spring facility for day trips, and the hot water in the hot spring is nice and makes your body feel smooth, but it's Saturday? Was it a coincidence? The manners of the people who come here are so bad, is this the standard here? Unable to relax, I quickly entered and pulled out.Breakfast was simple, the taste was average, and I was full with a heaping amount of curry.The front desk staff and other workers were very polite and kind, but as a lodging facility and hot spring facility, there were some question marks.

Joetsu City is a stopover point when traveling downhill from Aichi Prefecture to Tohoku, so in that sense, this inn is in an excellent location. The good point is that it costs ¥5,000 for one night without meals (tabi included). There is a refrigerator in the room. There are restaurants within walking distance (about a 10 minute walk) and Max Value across the road from the hotel. The bad point is that the washroom and toilet are shared. The breakfast was not good and the open-air bath was for one person.

The hot water made my skin smooth and felt good. Everyone was happy with the Kosiabura tempura and firefly squid in the cafeteria.I was disappointed that the slippers I was staying at, which I had to change at the entrance, were made of cloth and felt uncomfortable.
