When I arrived at the inn after driving up a mountain road, I was greeted by the smell of sulfur and a cat.The breakfast porridge made with hot spring water was delicious.I want to relax with my cat in a quiet, secluded place. I think it's perfect for people

Day trip (1000 yen on weekdays)Shampoo and conditioner available (several types on the female side)There is a hair dryer (one located at the top of the stairs after leaving the bathroom)Locker unknown. Probably not.Water is available in the drinking fountain area.I take day trips to all three buildings, but it's hard to choose between them. What do you seek?The good thing is that you can drink the hot springs here. However, there is a charge for take-out. I only received what I needed to drink while taking a bath. It was quite bitter, so I diluted it with plenty of water. If you are interested, you can buy porridge made in the hot springs.The hurdles to entering the men's bath are low. It's connected to the women's bathroom. The quality of the springs is invisible once you enter. There is a bath that you cannot enter unless you go to the men's bath. Bath clothes available for rent.A cat came to see me off.Rough comparison from memory ↓MotoizumiGood sense of openness. The bathtub is large.OideThe open air on the women's side is nice. Recommended for the coming season. Sumi-no-yu has a higher hurdle because you have to enter the men's bath. Since the water temperature is low, you can loop forever. Changes depending on the time of day. The men's bath does not have a nice open-air bath like the women's side.

I went for a day trip to the hot springs.I chose this because I like sulfur hot springs.The men's bath had a hot bath and a normal temperature bath.Apparently there was only one hot one in the women's bath.It seems that it is a mixed bathing system where you can freely go to the men's bath from the women's bath, but it is small and may be difficult if there are other people in the bath.Cats roamed freely in the building.Next door is Motosenkan.It's located up the mountain, so the atmosphere is nice.There is no safe for valuables, so please leave them in the car.

Because it is directly connected to the source, you should consider that the temperature of the water varies from day to day.When I visited, it was so hot that I hesitated to dip my feet in even the lukewarm water. In such cases, I have no choice but to pour water from the tap, but the quality of the hot water is still perfect.The morning and evening meals had a large number of side dishes, and all of them were delicious.However, as it is a family-run restaurant, it seems like they are understaffed, so it is not possible to order additional drinks during your meal. Please make a reservation in advance or ask for it in bulk at the beginning of your meal.The room has a 1975s style. As someone from the Showa era, I was rather impressed when I saw the new wall-mounted cooler.

On this day, I came to the hot springs for a day trip, but I couldn't get into the hot springs next door because about 10 times the new hot springs and the original hot springs were temporarily closed, after hours, closed, or being cleaned, so I came to the hot spring next door as my last hope. . Surprisingly, it was closed.I've been to Ebisuya many times, but the timing wasn't right for me, so I couldn't go in for many years.However, on this day, there was a sign posted, and it said, "Please contact us for a day trip after business hours," and finally, my long-awaited wish came true and I was able to take a bath. ♨️🥺♨️Not only was the water hot, but the changing room was also clean, and I was impressed by how readily they let me take a bath!There was also a cute cat.The food looks delicious and I want to stay there.

The hot water was very good and the food was delicious, but I won't be visiting again for the following reasons.-Prices: I think this is partly due to the rise in prices, but overall I thought the accommodation costs were high compared to the services provided. (It costs 18,000 yen for one person to stay for one night on weekdays, including two meals.) If you look at the price of alcohol, I think it's about 1.2-1.4 times more expensive than other inns.-Comfort: The cat's toilet was located under the sales area (where there is food), and there was feces, which made me wonder if it was hygienic. Also, the room for one person is small and does not get much sunlight, so when you open the window you can see the propane gas tank right in front of you, so you will be staying in a dark and small room with no view. I thought that if it were another inn, it would be sold in the ``translation room''.-Service: I thought this was the best part. I met a woman who was traveling alone in the women's bath, and we were both sharing my impressions of this inn, and she said that the comments from the owner of this inn were terrible in response to the reviews from the guests. Please also take a look at the comments replies to people with few stars on Google Maps and Trip Advisor. I'm surprised. I'm sure there are times when it's unpleasant, but I think that's part of the customer service industry. You may think that this falls under the category of Kashara, but I was very surprised when I read the comments that were written in such a way that they looked down on the customers. I was scared and didn't want to stay at an inn with this kind of mindset anymore.
