I used it with my husband for 1 night and 2 days.I have never used a small inn before, but it was my first time, but it was a very comfortable stay. The landlady, the young landlady, and the female staff at meal times were kind and courteous. The room was clean. I went to the hot springs three times. The food was delicious and hearty. I'm very satisfied with everything.Dinner is the famous seared chicken hotpot with lots of side dishes. There were plenty of side dishes for breakfast too...I'm sorry that I didn't finish all the food.The hot springs have a wide range of amenities, including shampoos, treatments, body soaps, facial soaps, basic cosmetics, body creams, and even hair growth products. I especially liked the lotion that was designed and manufactured by the young proprietress. The lotion is made with hot spring water and is said to be gentle enough to be used for wiping a baby's bottom, so I bought it at a store as I have sensitive skin. This time it was Japan's No. 1...Karurus Onsen, which I had heard was effective for the autonomic nervous system. It seems that my autonomic nerves, sciatica, and Hebaden's nodes have all been effective, and I am very happy that my body is in a great condition. I would have liked to stay a few days longer if possible. It was an inn that I would definitely like to come back to. thank you very much.

I stayed here in the summer about 15 years ago.This may be normal in Hokkaido, but there was no air conditioning, so it was hard to sleep.I wonder if the air conditioner is on because the temperature is getting higher these days? If it had air conditioning back then, I would have given it a 5 star.

When I was taking an open-air bath at night, a raccoon dog came to visit me.Taking a bath in the middle of nature is the best!The quality of the spring water was good and my skin became smooth.The inside of the hotel is also quiet and relaxing.Payment is cash only.

I don't know about the rooms since it's a day trip, but I think the hot springs are pretty hot: the indoor bath is 44 degrees Celsius, the outdoor bath is 42 degrees Celsius, and the indoor bath with water is 40 degrees Celsius. Other than the indoor bath with added water, the hot springs flow directly from the source and are drinkable.

I went to Carlus Hot Springs♨ for the first time in 5 years. After all, hot springs are good. It relieves fatigue.

It was a day trip, but the reception was the worst. As mentioned in this review, I understand that day-trippers are not welcome. The reception was open until around 7:30 pm, and when I went there at 7:20 pm, I was told in a gruff way, ``They're closed for day-trip registration.'' When I told her that it was until 7:30 pm, she seemed confused and said, ``I'm leaving at 8:00 pm.'' When I told them I was going to go to the bathroom and paid, I told the children who were waiting quietly next to me, ``Please don't make any noise in the bath.'' It was already full of tsukkomi. If you want them to return by 8pm, they should just write on their website that reception closes at 7pm.The nearby Orofure Sanso is perfect in terms of price, bath, and service. Looking at the reviews, I think there are a lot of tourists and locals don't use it.
