7,500 yen per person for 2 people in a single room with breakfast for one night on a Saturday during the busy season of August."it was good"※roomThere was enough space, and the toilet and sink were separate.*Other than the roomWith 28 rooms, it is ideal in terms of size.The garden is wonderfully beautiful, and the lobby, baths, and dining room are decorated in a modern Japanese style to your liking. It is decorated with fresh flowers and has a nice flair.※mealThe breakfast was delicious, well-balanced, and had just the right amount.*Large bathJust the right size indoor bath and open-air bathI especially liked the eco-friendly full body shampoo. It feels sticky and squeaky when you wash it, but once it dries, it's smooth even without rinsing. (I have short hair)I bought it because it was on sale at a store.“It was bad.”The only thing I was disappointed with was the smell in the room. It wasn't a bad odor or anything, but there was a slightly strange smell that caught my attention.

This is a ryokan located in an old hot spring town called 'Oyu'. Unlike what it looks like from the outside, once inside you will find a comfortable, beautiful and quiet accommodation.It's nice to be able to relax while looking at the pond outside the window in the lobby on the first floor. It was also nice to relax or eat while watching the greenery in the guest room or breakfast room (medium banquet hall).The room has a toilet and bathroom, but I rarely used it because I had to use the large public bath on the first floor. The structure of the old ryokan was nice, and the tatami feel was new.Dinner is large. There is enough left over for an adult man to eat. You can order various types of alcohol for a fee, and you can bring your own alcohol to drink. Corkage free.There is a hot spring that switches between men's and women's baths every evening, and each bath also has a small outdoor bath. You can enjoy the hot springs (which are quite hot) while looking out over the lush green scenery. As with many Japanese hot springs, there are no cold baths.There is only a razor in the large public bath. You must bring towels and toothbrushes from your room.Verbal communication with employees is possible through the application. For Korean guests, some notices and menus have been translated into Korean.This location is ideal for trekking the Oirase Stream or sightseeing at Lake Towada. Aomori Airport is an hour's drive away. It takes about 1 hour and 10 to 20 minutes to reach Aomori Sashin.The shop itself is small, and it would be nice to have more local tourist information.The only store that travelers can go to is Family Mart, and there are two or three restaurants. We recommend making a reservation with full board. If you have a car, there is a drug store and supermarket about 10 minutes away.

We stayed at the end of July.Satisfied with both the indoor bath and the open-air bath!! ️On the day I used it, it was raining and when I took a bath in the open-air bath, the chorus of frogs matched the atmosphere outside and I felt strangely comfortable.The food was gorgeous and my stomach was so full.If possible, I wanted to see the smiling faces of the staff members.

Ryumotei Chiba Ryokan, a three-star hotelThe dinner dishes that were shared by two people were delicious, and I liked the new idea of ​​sharing.Since the building is old, it can't be helped that the floor is squeaky, but it was a shame that the shampoo and body soap containers in the bath were dirty.
