I'm glad I took a day trip to the hot springs.

I used to be curious about this inn, including its name, and it's surprisingly accessible. Also, the exterior and interior are clean and well-maintained. Early CIs are very helpful. (You should follow the minimum etiquette.) The hot water is alkaline and slimy, as rumored. It reminds me of Ishikawa Shiramine Pure Baking Soda Spring, but it doesn't feel that hot. The rice is Koshihikari, chewy and sweet, and the 7-dish home-cooked meal is sure to leave you full and satisfied!

The inn I wanted to go to. Great hot water and homemade rice. We were humbled to have it reserved just for us. Thank you for picking us up from Osawa Station. Please take care of yourselves, husband and wife.The magazine on display was from 1955, and it made me think of my late parents' younger days.Wi-Fi was difficult to connect in the guest room, so I gave it a ☆4. sorry.

We arrived around 10:30 on a Sunday. There are about 3 parking spaces under the building, and there are signs, so I parked my car and headed towards the building. The building has a nostalgic feel from the Showa era. I opened the front door and went inside.There was a person staying at the hotel, so I called out to them and told them I was going to use a day trip hot spring.I paid the 500 yen fee and went to the hot spring. When you walk down the hallway, the floor creaks and it feels nostalgic. There is no curtain on the door of the changing room, it looks like a toilet door. The changing room is not large and there is no air conditioning, so the environment depends on the temperature of the day. There were no coin lockers, and it didn't seem like they would leave your luggage with you, just a basket, so you were responsible for your own valuables. The bath is an indoor bath only. Wash your body and step into the hot water. The hot water is smooth and slippery, with many small milky white flowers floating in it. I've been in many slippery baths before, but this one was the slimiest and smoothest I've ever been in.The temperature is lukewarm and you can stay in it for a long time. During the time I was there, there were no other customers, so it was reserved. I had the smooth, slippery water all to myself and had a great time. On the way home, I wanted to thank the people at the hotel, but they didn't see me, so I just went home. Although it has deteriorated over time, the inside of the building, changing rooms, and bathrooms were well kept and clean. I went to a nice hot spring and had a great day. thank you very much.

It must be the best hot spring♨️Yunohana is scattered in the colorless and transparent water♨️It is a slimy hot spring that smells like oil♨️When you rub your hands together in hot water, they immediately become slippery ♨️I think hot spring lovers will be excited 👍️I went there for a day trip to the hot springs, and I remember it was 500 yen per person.By the way, it's overflowing, so it's free flowing ♨️

Osawayama Onsen. Slimy, lukewarm water 💕 Lots of fine Yuka ✨ It's only an indoor bath, but it was kept clean and very nice. It warms me up 😀

Used for day trips.An inn that owns the current source of Osawayama Onsen (referred to as the new source to distinguish it from the old source). It is provided to two other lodgings (Osawakan and Satoyama Jucho). Therefore, Yukokusou itself operates on the basis of day trip bathing only on Saturdays and Sundays. There seem to be many times when I don't stay overnight.Among the three inns, the quality of the spring water is the highest. Although it is a simple alkaline hot spring, your skin may not feel very slippery when you first take a bath, but after a few minutes you will notice that the surface of your skin becomes slippery.Generally speaking, simple alkaline hot springs have a slimy feeling that you feel instantly, but I wonder if the quality of the water at the many sources is a little different.By the way, Osawakan and Satoyama Jucho, which use circulating filtration (of course, are less fresh), have a simple alkaline hot spring feel that you often see, so only Yukokusou, which owns the source, is an interesting difference.

For day trip use, 500 yen per person. There was a limit on entry to the bathroom, allowing only three adults to enter, and then there was a waiting list. There were what appeared to be rental towels in the changing room.

I visited on a day trip to take a bath. It's quaint and has the feel of a Showa era inn. Although there is only an indoor bath, the changing room and bathroom were very clean and I enjoyed my time. I want to stop by every time on my way home from skiing.

Thank you for your help at the year-end party. The quality of the hot spring source is slippery, and you'll stay warm even after you've finished your bath. It's no wonder that local people go out of their way to bathe here. Although it is a home-made bathtub, the quality of the spring water is even higher.

It was a slippery hot spring.It seems that the hot water comes out alternately with unheated hot spring water and heated hot water. I thought it was a little lukewarm when it went in, but it stays warm once it comes out.

Day trip hot spring 500 yen. The quality of the spring is slippery and the water temperature is lukewarm, but warm ♨️

It's a small bath in a quaint inn, but the quality of the hot spring water is so good that it's highly recommended. Due to its small size, you may be turned away for a day trip if there are other guests, but if you manage to get in, they will welcome you. 500 yen once. Since the bathtub is small, a large amount of hot water overflows when a person enters the bath, but it is refilled quickly and you can enjoy fresh water. A hidden hot spring.

I like the tasteful appearance. The water was at just the right temperature and left my skin smooth and smooth. Day trip bathing is 500 yen. There was soap and shampoo available. It seems that day trip bathing is only available on weekends.
