This hot spring can be used for day trip bathing, and the sulfur content is very good.It's best to call before going to a day trip hot spring, whether it's open or not.

Although it is small, there is an indoor bath and an open-air bath. The hot springs are cloudy and the temperature is a little high.It is easier to take a bath in the open-air bath.A deer came close enough for me to see it.I was worried about the presence of bears, but I never had any trouble.The seasoning of the food was just right for me and it was all delicious.Above all, the atmosphere of everyone at the inn was very calm and comfortable, and I had a comfortable stay.I would like to serve you again when I go to Nikko.

It is a reasonable accommodation where you can enjoy local products.Two Katsura trees have been planted. Is that why it's called "Katsuraso"? .We had fried rainbow trout and dried sweetfish.
