First of all, it's mostly around Moriyoshi, but it's located in a place that feels like ``the secret hot spring.''The access is pretty bad and the signal doesn't reach in some places, but I really like secret hot springs like this.When I climb Mt. Moriyoshi, depending on the trailhead, I take a dip in either Soto Onsen or Uchito Onsen before returning home.There is a slightly hot indoor bath and a mixed open-air bath in a historic building.However, it is not recommended for people who are afraid of insects and animals.In summer, flies, bees, moths, and snakes are common, and in autumn there are a hopeless number of stink bugs.Sometimes I float in the bathtubThere is also a campsite nearby, so if you can tolerate insects and animals, please come.I feel great

Not recommendedI stayed there for one night in October, and there were a lot of stink bugs in the room.Even if you catch 10, there will be 10 more in the room an hour later. The toilets and hallways are also full of insects.It's a good thing that the facility is old, but it looks desolate and has probably not been cleaned in over 10 years. It has not been taken care of at all.I feel that there are hygiene issues as a hot spring facility.Also, there is no signal other than Softbank, and there is Wi-Fi, but it doesn't work.It was the least comfortable accommodation I've ever stayed in.

We stayed here for 3 nights in the summer of 2019. First of all, it is located in a very difficult location, and there is no public transportation or shuttle service from the nearest station. Taxi 🚕I'm thankful that I have no choice but to make a reservation with the company for a pick-up and pick-up, and even then, I can get a pick-up at a fixed price. 70s? Is it run by a married couple who do some cleaning here and there? There are places where this happens. When was the indoor bath changing room and especially the outdoor bath in the garden cleaned? The atmosphere was so full of horseflies that I didn't have the courage to go in. The toilet has a flush system, but there are no washlets or other facilities. In any case, there were 🪰flys flying everywhere🔥🔥And on top of that, there was no air conditioning in the room these days. The temperature in the mountains is not that great, but the humidity is high so it's annoying👎They wouldn't let me change my yukata or sheets unless I asked. The quality of the hot spring water is fair and there are no peculiarities. But for some reason I can't stay calm. The electric switches for the indoor bath and changing room were located on the side of the main building, so I ended up having to operate the switches 🥺As for the meals, we mainly had wild vegetables and carp dishes, but since I don't like carp...I also served bear meat. But no matter how much seasoning, soy sauce, and ginger you simmer it, it still smells like animal...🙇I'm not a Matagi🥵There are things missing anyway, so it's not a great place, so you need to check what you bring beforehand. . There's no way to use a smartphone, so the only communication is the pink phone ☢️ Well, it seems like there's no successor, so I wonder if they'll go out of business soon?

Used on July 12th.Stayed the night before to participate in a tour of Sekisui Valley the next day.It looked a little shabby on the outside, so I was worried at first, but after checking in, they showed me the bathroom, room, and meals.I took a bath and it was really hot. It may still be the afternoon. The temperature of the hot springs seemed to have dropped the next morning.The open-air bath is a mixed bath. There is a changing room and a washing area. After you finish your indoor bath, you can go to the garden to change your slippers. Since it was still early, I had the open-air bath to myself. There are bugs in the open-air bath, so I think it's better to take another indoor bath after you're done.The food was delicious! Wild vegetables and kiritanpo.There were 3 groups staying there on the same day, including myself.The room is only for sleeping, the washroom and toilet are shared.The toilet is a mountain type. Deep in the mountains, it's luxurious.You can hear the sound of the river from your room.There's no radio waves at all. There is WIFI, but it is quite weak. LINE text is okay, but the communication for watching videos is slow.There is no water in the room. There are vending machines and spring water outside.When I checked out, the landlady, who I thought was unfriendly at first, kindly asked me about my plans for the day. I also received Inaniwa udon as a souvenir!Accommodation fees can only be paid in cash. Add bath tax.Celebrities and famous people display commemorative photos of their stay here in the large hall. You can see the vestiges of the past.

It was a truly secret hot spring inn located behind the dam between Kitaakita City and Semboku City.Since I was alone, it was quiet and comfortable.The toilets were at the back of each floor, which was a bit inconvenient.The rice was delicious.

This is an old-fashioned hot spring inn.The bath is a little hot, and it feels like it warms up your body.I had the bear hotpot meal plan, and surprisingly there was no smell, and the fatty meat was delicious with a hint of sweetness. The carp dishes and wild vegetables were also very filling.As for cell phones, I can't help it since I'm in the mountains, but I was told that I can only use Softbank. (There is Wi-Fi, but I felt it was quite slow.)Other than that, it's a good place, so if I have a chance, I'd like to stop by again.

This hot spring is located in a house tucked away in the mountains about 15 minutes by car from Moriyoshi Dam. The road also ends here.This is the secret hot spring.Day trip bath 500 yenUnusable due to no docomo or au radio waves. Only SoftBank can be used.Naturally flowing from the source. The hot water is just the right temperature, not too hot and you'll feel sweaty while soaking in it. It is colorless and smooth hot water. There might be a slight smell of sulfur...The shower in the washroom is a little hot. Since it is separated into hot water and cold water, I twisted the water side, but it did not become lukewarm.- Spring quality -chloride springSodium Calcium - Chloride Sulfate Hot SpringsDrinkable1 indoor bath, 1 open-air bath (mixed bathing)Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap availableThe changing room has two sinks. There is one free hair dryer. There is an outlet and you can use your own hair dryer.To get to the open-air bath, go out from the changing room in the indoor bath, go through the passageway, put on your sandals through the door, and step outside. Walk along the path and arrive at the open-air bath. There is a changing room, so you can either get dressed or wrap yourself in a bath towel.It seems like it hasn't been cleaned very well. There are quite a lot of leaves floating in the water, so it might be a good idea to scoop them up with a net before getting in. There's a lot of moss inside the bathtub, and it's quite slippery. Be careful of falling.I don't know what it is, but there are quite a few small insects flying around (...;)

This is an inn deep in the mountains.The only way to get to the accommodation is by private car.Because it's in the mountains, it's blessed with nature and the air is delicious.I think the facilities are at a reasonable level considering it is a private inn in an unexplored area. The water was delicious.The hot springs were gentle, flowing directly from the source.The open-air bath is a mixed bath, but there weren't that many people when I was staying overnight, so I was able to take my time.The men's bath is completely visible from the path to the open air.The menu will be centered around wild vegetables.You can add a bear pot with a separate plan.This Kumanabe had less flavor than I expected, but it wasn't completely absent, and the strong ginger worked well.The meat was quite chewy. I had a rare experience.
