Used as a day trip hot spring (600 yen). Towel 350 yen. At Fujishichi Onsen Saiunsou, it was freezing cold with a dense fog and a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, but when we arrived, we could see some sunshine and could soak in the hot water amidst the autumn leaves. The steam rising from the surrounding ground is a dynamic and open field hot spring. Although the bathtub was a bit artificial, the water was fresh. The indoor bath is hot and the view from the window is amazing. The indoor bath is empty. Dehydration 100 yen.

I stayed at Fuke no Yu, a hidden hot spring inn.The building looks like a school building.Although it is old, the hallways are polished to a shine, and although they are a bit rundown, they are clean.The room on the second floor of the main building has a wide veranda, TV, and heater, but no refrigerator.The toilet and washroom are shared.The open air bath is a short walk away and is open until 5pm. The temperature on this day was slightly warm.I also enjoyed the indoor bath and open-air bath.Apparently the source is different for the outdoor and indoor baths, but both are acidic springs and are grayish and cloudy. It is a famous hot spring with a soft sulfur smell.The meals are luxurious, including wild vegetables, river fish, sashimi, and grilled ceramic plates.The rice for dinner was cooked rice.The breakfast menu consisted of rice as well.The amount of salt was just right and it was delicious, but the soup was prepared in a bowl with just the dry ingredients, and you added the soup afterwards. Only the soup was a little disappointing.However, the hot springs here are the best. It was an inn that I would want to visit again.

2024/10/01~2 nightsExpensive at ¥22,000 per night; second night is ¥20,900 if you stay multiple nights.I'm glad there's a discount.Route bus from Tazawako Station to Aspite Entrance(Many people go to Tamagawa Onsen, so it's like rush hour commuting)I managed to sit down for almost 2 hours...We recommend that you line up at the bus stop as soon as you get off the Shinkansen.)Transfer to the Dragon (reservation the day before for ¥500) and head to Fuke no Yu.The room is a corner room on the second floor, 6 tatami mats, TV,Samue, towel, bath towel, toothbrushThere is also an exchange on the second night.Mobile (au), Wi-Fi (router in each room)Toilets (separate for men and women, washlets) and washrooms are sharedNo refrigerator, washing machine ¥300Hot water, water, tea (hot/cold), coffee (hot/cold)Available 24 hours on the server (?) on the second floorJuice vending machine on the first floorIndoor bath and open-air bath available 24 hours (not available from 7:30 to 8:30)There is no callan etc.Hot water is poured into a boat-shaped boat carved out of a log.Use in a pailBody soap, conditioner shampooThere are 1 hair dryer in each washroom on the 1st and 2nd floors.The women's bath has a large window and a nice view.In the men's bath, the indoor bath and open-air bath are not connected.It's no good if you don't get dressed onceUnusually, it is designed to give priority to women.Instead, the mixed bathing open-air bath has a nice view.There are separate changing rooms for men and women, and you can wear clothes while taking a bath, so it's easy for women to enter as well.I asked the landlady around 9:30 the next day.“I have a reservation for a group that will be stopping by after this, so now is my chance.”until I saw a man getting out of the parking lot.Enjoy at DokusenMeals are served at the cafeteria from 18:00 for dinner to 7:30 for breakfast.Warm things are limitedSelf-serve rice (cooked for dinner) and miso soupThe proprietress' explanation of the dishes during dinner, etc.It may sound like boasting to some peopleI was able to ask about the ingredients and their origins.I thought it was good to understand what I was putting into my mouth.There is a fair amount of alcohol available, and the price is also reasonable.Breakfast comes with black eggs (can be purchased for ¥100, the best value ever)On the second day, the rainbow trout had muscle.It was so delicious that I ended up eating an extra bowl of rice 😅The first night was blessed with good weather.By 9pm, the lights at the entrance were turned off.When I looked up at the sky from the parking lot, the stars were really beautiful.From the next day onwards, I was unable to take an open-air bath due to rain and thick fog from before noon.The temperature is around 15℃ and there is no heating.It feels perfect when worn under socks or Samue.For the return trip, take the Dragon train departing at 9:40 to the Aspite entrance.10:04 Transfer to Tazawako StationWe arrived at the bus stop a little early, and it was raining lightly.Due to the kindness of the driver and fellow passengers, there was no place to take shelter from the rain.I was grateful that I was able to wait inside the bus until it arrived.I arrived and boarded the bus about 5 minutes late.Arrive at Tazawako Station almost on timeYou can ride the Upper and Lower Shinkansen trains departing at 12:02/12:12.``Dandruff Hot Spring'' that I've wanted to go to for yearsTransportation is better than I expected.I would like to visit again

I stopped by to visit the hot springs. There are three open-air baths, but all require changing clothes. However, it is a nice hot spring.

This place is truly wonderful❗The wooden building has an elegant atmosphere, and the Japanese-style rooms are spacious enough for one person to relax and relax. The hallways inside the inn are also spacious and spacious, and there are water dispensers where you can freely drink tea, coffee, etc.The food was simple and simple, and the presentation was a bit sloppy.The hot springs here are wonderful, so I'm satisfied with just that. The quality of the spring water was sulfur, and the cloudy water was very pleasant. The outdoor hot springs are located a little far away. They say that you can't go outside at night because wild beasts come out, so you can't go to the open air baths.I think the best season is from after Golden Week to around June, when the number of tourists has drastically decreased and there are no insects.
