I visited you at the beginning of Golden Week.I didn't have many chances to meet other customers, so I had a comfortable time.The meal was Japanese food made with mainly seasonal vegetables and was very delicious. The wild vegetable tempura was especially delicious.The bath is also a family bath, and you can enjoy the wonderful view all to yourself.It was a short time, but thank you very much for your help!! ︎

A private natural open-air bath where you can enjoy the best feeling, and local cuisine made with home-grown vegetables are the ultimate luxury!Visited in June 2023 and February 2024, when not fully booked.I've used it in both extreme seasons, and each has its own unique charm.The luxury of the private hot springs is noteworthy, and the high quality of the sulfur springs and peaceful scenery will soothe you.Although there is only an indoor bath for washing, the large window makes it look like an open-air bath.It has a feeling of openness and a high level of cleanliness, which is wonderful for an open-air bath in a rural area, and this alone is a perfect score.The dishes are very attractive and use local vegetables grown at this inn.Is vegetable tempura, homemade pickles, and Shinshu salmon the standard?It's a very peaceful meal that combines the best of local home-cooked food with a hotel feel.It's not a huge amount, but you can eat a lot of rice with vegetables. The seasoning is exquisite.The room is a Japanese-style room and you have to pull the futon yourself. Wi-Fi available. There are drinks in the refrigerator as a service, but please note that there are no convenience stores nearby.For better or worse, it is a Japanese-style room in a guesthouse (apparently there are plans for soundproofing and other renovations soon).Other facilities are like a guesthouse and not luxurious.If you value hot springs and food, this is probably the best value for money and satisfaction. I would like to use it again.

The hot springs are the best. Service is also good.Summer is cool and great.【hot spring】Free flowing without heating or adding water. Very good.【cooking】Overall delicious. The quantity feels just right.【service】I brought my parents there, but my father had suddenly hurt his teeth and couldn't eat hard food, so when I told him about it, they prepared chopped food for me.They also told me that they could see the Milky Way at night, and I was even given an explanation of the starry sky.They were very responsive.[Summary]The water area is very clean, and the hot springs are reserved for each room, so it was helpful that the inn specified that this room would be reserved exclusively (I liked that it wasn't a private reservation system that had to be applied for).The toilet and washroom were also reserved for each room.Recommended.

After all, the open-air bath is wonderful.And the hostess's attentiveness is wonderful.Everything inside the building is clean and well ventilated.It was comfortable.It's not even a new moon, but the weather is clear and the moon hasn't risen.It was great to be able to see the beautiful starry sky with the proprietress' commentary.

This is a very quiet and relaxing inn.The scenery is good as you can look out over the majestic mountains.On the other hand, the fact that there are only a few rooms is a big plus.In one word, the hot springs are wonderful.The cloudy sulfur springs are very warming.There are two indoor baths and two open-air baths, which can be reserved for private use by time reservation.It's a great option because couples, families, and couples can take a private bath together.When I stayed there, I was able to take a bath many times without waiting.If the rooms are full, there is a possibility that the rooms will be divided into men's and women's baths.The food is not huge, but it is quite delicious.The rock fish grilled on the robata was the most delicious ever.There is surprisingly no odor, which is impressive.Only one group can eat at the robata.First come first serve, so early reservations are recommended.Since it was a guest house, it was a warm and relaxing inn.It's a hidden gem that you'll want to come back to again.
