2024/I went for a day trip bathing on a weekend in early June.The bath is reserved for private use, so reservations have been made in advance.First of all, I didn't know where to park, but there was one upstairs.The bathing fee is 800 yen per person for one hour.If you go into the bathroom where there is a warning not to open the window, you will find yourself in a steam sauna. I'm sweating profusely.Shampoo etc. are provided.The hot water was clear and colorless, and there was no smell of sulfur.The temperature of the hot water is not that high, but the room temperature is high.I tried my best to make the most of the hour, but I gave up after 30 minutes.Next time, I would like to go so that I can drink beer after the hot springs.

I found this inn when I was searching for a place with the Hokuriku discount that you can only visit at times like this. ||As you get closer, you will see a spot on the opposite bank across the river. …

Stayed at the beginning of April. The inn is currently closed to the Japan Secret Hot Springs Protection Association, and has about 10 rooms. As of April 2020, it was limited to two groups, but another group canceled, so it was reserved exclusively. Although this inn is located in the mountains, it is very well maintained, and the rooms and dining area were very clean. The inn was located halfway up the mountain, and the view of the river and other views from above was very nice. Since it is far from the river, it is very quiet during your stay. The hot spring is called a cave hot spring, and it is actually a hot spring located on the slope of a mountain. Although it is an indoor bath and you cannot see the view, it is a very warm hot spring. You can drink cold hot spring water after bathing, but be careful not to drink too much as it is delicious. For dinner, we had a variety of dishes unique to the inn, including river fish and wild vegetables. The main dish is bear hot pot! It had no odor at all and was delicious. I would say that it is the best accompaniment to alcohol. In fact, there were so many local sakes that I ended up drinking too much. A happy moment. Breakfast is at The. It's called Japanese breakfast. Anyway, the rice is delicious! Instead of the usual raw eggs and natto, there were grilled fish, as well as elaborate dishes such as tamagoyaki and simmered dishes. It was a relaxing and satisfying stay.

If you are prepared to come to Akiyamago, you will not have any problems if you follow the narrow private road and you will find an inn at the end. The snow has been removed well, but the slopes and curves are a bit steep, so AWD and studless vehicles are a must during the snowy season.It was a rare mild winter, so there was almost no snow, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the spectacular view of silver, but it was still a nice view.The bath is fed directly from the source with no water added (heated during the coldest months), and it's open 24 hours a day, so there's nothing to complain about.The meals, both morning and evening, are more than satisfying, and the alcoholic beverages include local fruit wines and a good selection of Japanese sake, so there's nothing to complain about!The facilities and food are so amazing that it is strange that there are only two groups available per day, but I wonder if there are many people who are hesitant about the price because of the location and the fact that the rooms do not have baths or toilets. There are only two groups per day, so we don't often meet each other, and we eat in separate rooms, but the semi-private rooms allow us to relax and have a relaxing time.

I visited on a day trip to take a bath. The people at the inn will welcome you warmly.There aren't many private baths available for 800 yen.The hot water was a little lukewarm to my liking, which was great.

Stayed for one night on a Saturday and Sunday in August. Currently, only two groups are allowed per day, and the hot springs were reserved for private use of the cave baths.You can see the mountain range of Akiyamago from your room, and it was nice to be able to enjoy the view while swinging on the swing set next to the inn! The food is delicious, including wild vegetables, mushrooms, and bear hot pot! I would definitely like to go again!
