I agree. It used to be cheap and good, but now? picture? picture? That's what it feels like. Due to the facilities in the room, there is no hot water. Also, in this day and age, cash is the only payment method.

I wonder why there are no slippers. Even though everyone was carrying suitcases around the building, everyone was walking barefoot or in slippers, and walking into the tatami rooms with those feet... I thought it was unsanitary.

Business use. The guest room is a Japanese-style bedroom in the new building. First of all, there aren't many electrical outlets. I want at least two free ones.The bath time is not bad, but since it is an old public bath, I was concerned about the peeling of the tiles. Maintenance required. I would like to install a clock in the bathroom and open the open-air bath. The quality of the spring water is not bad.Dinner is difficult because there is nothing around the hotel. Breakfast at the hotel is a light set meal consisting mainly of vegetables.The price is cheap but reasonable.

I was traveling with my family in a remote area of the Tohoku region, so we couldn't find a hotel that fit our budget and it was late on the weekend, so we had no choice but to stay at this hotel.The building was built in the Showa era and is quite dilapidated. There are traces of a prosperous past all over the place.What surprised me was that it remained exactly the same since it was built? The carpet on the floor seems to be! It's peeling and has stains everywhere. I have to be stingy with my accommodation! Anxiety and fear welled up. Then it becomes a certainty...Tabi were handed to me at the front desk. These will be used inside the facility instead of slippers. Since they were brand new, I thought I would be able to move around without touching this dirty carpet by wearing them, but I was wrong!The rooms have been renovated and are not as old as the rest of the building. However, I didn't really think about it at the time, as it was a hassle to take off the tabi when going up to the tatami floor... but when I touched the tabi to go to the bathroom to put them back on, there was dust, hair, and other things that I didn't know who belonged to them! The tabi became like a mop for that dirty carpet, and the dirty things from the floor got stuck to the tabi.I still feel sick every time I think about it!Considering the cost of providing tabi socks to all customers, I think it would be much better to remove all that dirty carpet and use slippers instead!The popularity of day-trippers to the hot springs was low, and a female guest with a large green tattoo was soaking in the bathtub... I didn't see this kind of scene often in public baths, so I just casually watched it.Later, the symbol of this inn is a raccoon dog? There is a large Shigaraki ware raccoon dog ornament at the entrance. What kind of connection? ?

The sauna in the women's bath is extremely hot. A regular person who comes to see the geese? 5 stars if notWell, the regulars at the saunas in Tohoku are usually the main ones, so the atmosphere is bad.

I stayed in a 6 tatami Japanese style room.There is a hair dryer in the room, but it wasn't very powerful.There was a hair dryer in the hot spring that cost 100 yen for 5 minutes.The pillows are high and hard, but the front desk will lend you a memory foam pillow.The room had an air conditioner, refrigerator, and air purifier.The hot springs are convenient as you can take a bath until 11:30pm and from 5:30am.At the front desk of the hot spring, guests can receive free coffee during the hours the hot spring is open, which is great.There are no slippers, so if you need them, please bring your own.Instead, you can get tabi-type socks.Even in the middle of winter, the floor was heated and socks were warm enough.The parking lot was large and there was a convenience store nearby, so it was very convenient.

It's a reasonable price, so I stayed there for about 30 days on a business trip, and this is my impression.Since the hot springs are open to day-trippers, they are probably a place of relaxation for people in the neighborhood.The hot springs are always crowded, and the bathing manners of these people are very bad, with some people lying on the floor or sitting up to take naps. I don't feel good because I'm there.Accommodation facilities are the bare minimum for the price, and while you can tolerate staying for 2-3 days, it's difficult to stay longer than that.

It was pitch black in the neighborhood, but since I got there on the last train, I logged in to take a bath and a sauna.It was within walking distance from the station, so it was okay even if I didn't have a car.There is a large lobby, TV and vending machine at the front desk.Sauna included in bathing feeThe price seems to be 500 yen from 8/1.Shampoo body soap availableHair dryer fee: 100 yenThere are two types of baths: loose water and hot water.There is a sauna and cold bath that can accommodate about 8 people.The sauna has a TVThere are notices posted everywhere asking people not to take naps.That makes me want to sleep already. In the bath. It was a wonderful facility that had a bed bath with a comfortable temperature and height, which was a must!The pH was 8.05.
