I made a reservation through the Oyu Onsen Tourism Association because I couldn't get through on the phone.I think it cost about 7,000 yen for a night without meals during the Obon period.Oyu is a precious place as there are not many inns of this kind.The hot springs are piping hot from their own source and are flowing 24 hours a day. There is a feeling of cleanliness.Hot spring boiled eggs are 50 yen.When I called out to the landlady in the morning, she made it right away. Due to the location, job openings for Kosaka Mining were posted everywhere.The pay seems good, but...is it tough?You can walk to restaurants, convenience stores, and public baths, making it a base camp for the Oyu area. There's plenty of parking. The bike was stored under the roof.

Rather than traveling, I think it's more suitable for business or casual solo travel. It's a very homely inn.

A hot spring inn located in Oyu, Kazuno City, Akita Prefecture. I sometimes use it for day trips to the hot springs. Stop-in bathing fee is 350 yen. If you plan to use the service, please bring some change. People hate it when you show them a bill. If you are okay with such a response, please do so.
