I stayed in a separate room.Two rooms, one about 8 tatami mats and one about 4.5 tatami mats.wide wide vergedrying area andWe have a new toilet and sink. You will have the illusion that you are returning to your home in the countryside. It is better to bring a vape mat in the summer. The dish came with char and carp.It was delicious, but the breakfast was just a bunch of ready-made items, but I think they are doing their best.You can do it slowly.It's basically a cold spring, but it's not cold.I felt warm for a long time after taking a bath.I was told to boil it in the winter.

Please install an air conditioner as soon as possible!Before someone collapses from heatstroke.This is an inn with rooms that are extremely hot and have an abnormal amount of insects! !We stayed here because it is one of the three major beauty hot springs.The hot spring at this inn has a low source, so the hot water is very low.For this reason, many people choose to stay overnight during the hot summer months.Free transportation is available from the station using a one-box car.The hot springs feel quite lukewarm even in the summer.Please be careful as the phone cannot be answered.Wifi is quite fast so the internet environment is great.However, this inn does not have air conditioning in the rooms, so it is extremely hot in the summer.There is a fan, but it's at a level where you can get heatstroke. When I open the window of my room with a screen, a cool breeze comes in, but an unusually large number of insects also come in. However, if you don't open the window, it will get too hot and you will get heatstroke, so you have no choice but to open it, but the insects that come in at that time will become active when you turn on the lights at night.It's painful to stay in the room and I can't help it.The futon was hard and uncomfortable, and worst of all, there were a lot of insects, so I couldn't sleep well.The food is great, but the environment in the room is so bad that I feel like I want to go home as soon as possible.I think air conditioners should be installed in the rooms as soon as possible. Before the customer collapses due to heat stroke.I don't think much insect control has been done, so I think it's better to do it as soon as possible.I don't think I will use it again, but I have stayed at various hot spring inns, so I would like to give you some advice.Other customers were also complaining about the hot weather and insects coming in, so the landlady said she would put up blackout curtains to deal with it, but I think it would be a good idea to just install an air conditioner. . I know it's difficult for a family-run business, but please put air conditioning in the guest rooms as soon as possible before someone collapses from heatstroke.If you open the window to let in the breeze, insects will get in and it will be uncomfortable.The sweets in the room were delicious, so I think I'll buy them on Amazon.The room made me feel like I could live with it for 8,500 yen for one night and two meals.I think it was good that I felt that having a cool room with an air conditioner and a room without bugs is not a given.Also, the scenery around Kawaraya Onsen Station is very beautiful. I ate curry from Yamakiboshi near the station and it was very delicious.

This is a quiet, family-run inn that has been in business for over 70 years.It takes about 3 hours to reach the site by taking the limited express train from Ueno Station to Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi Station and picking up from Shimagusatsu Station.The hot spring water is about 40 degrees.It is best to soak slowly for at least an hour. Naturally flowing from the source.The meals are home-cooked by the family, and the flavors of the mountains, especially Okkiri Komi from Gunma's hometown, udon, and miso are exquisite.You can hear birds chirping constantly, especially during breakfast. It's comfortable to eat while listening and chatting.

You can soak for a long time in the lukewarm hot spring water.Although the building is old, it was well-maintained and had the feel of an old-fashioned inn.The hostess, who is full of hospitality, made us feel at ease, and although the food was not flashy, it was carefully presented and very delicious.It was a ryokan that was good value for money and could be recommended for everyone from those who like hidden hot springs to those who are new to ryokan.I want to repeat it again.

Japan's three major beauty hot springs, from Shimane to Gunma. The rest was conquered in Wakayama.It's a beauty bath, so your skin will be smooth. I'm glad that there are separate baths for men and women, as well as mixed baths, and that there are times reserved for women.When you open the door to the women's bath, you can smell the smell of sulfur. This is the fourth time I've taken a shower using the hot spring water.Lately, I've started looking for lodging accommodations that use natural hot spring water.There was no toilet in the room, which was inconvenient, but the hot water made up for it.The food was also simple and delicious. I also had a lively conversation with the landlady.

It's a member of Japan's three major beauty hot springs and Japan's secret hot springs protection association, so I stayed there alone in search of a good hot spring.Although the building is old, it is well-maintained, and the space has an old atmosphere that makes it very relaxing.It seemed like it had been recently renovated, the room had a lockable door, and the toilet was clean and comfortable.Since I can't eat raw fish, they offered me sashimi konnyaku, and it was the best sashimi konjac I've ever had!The host and his wife were very friendly and we had a great time.This is an inn where you can rediscover the charm of warm water hot springs that you can take your time to soak in.Recommended for hot spring lovers.

This is a nice, simple inn with a Showa-era feel. It's not a tourist destination, so it's quite calming. The warm water is also soothing. This is an inn for people who want to soak in a quiet hot spring.

It seemed like there were a lot of customers who were relatively older.The hot springs are lukewarm, so you can soak in them as long as you like.

The hot spring water is warm enough to take a long bath, and is clear, colorless, and very gentle. |The hot spring ingredients contain a lot of calcium, so your skin will be smooth after bathing. …
