October 14th: Take the trolley train and get off at Kuronagi Station at 11:30.A hot spring in an unexplored area that I've always wanted to visit!There is a sign for Kuronagi Onsen across from the platform.Cross the railroad tracks and climb the steep stairs to the narrow mountain pathOn the way, there is a thick pipe that draws hot springs to Unazuki Onsen.A pine tree jutting out into the valley, a 13-minute walk along the side of the cliff.Arrive. Bathing fee ¥900 Towel ¥250I bought it as a souvenir.The indoor bath has a washing area, and the interior of the building is also retro.It looks good and has a nice atmosphere.There were places where you could drink water and hot springs along the way.When I went to the indoor bath, there was no one there and it was private!The view of the river from the indoor bath is also great.Go outside and go to the large open-air bath, which is also amazing! Reserved!There is a changing area made of tents.If the leaves are turning autumn, it will be a spectacular view.It's spacious and has a sense of freedom. colorless and transparent hot water``Weakly alkaline simple hot spring'' The water is well tempered and you can take a long bath.This is a famous hot spring in a truly unexplored area. It was worth the walk.If I have a chance to come again someday, I would like to stop by.

Since I am using the hot spring for a day trip, I cannot see what is inside the guest room. It is located about a 15 to 20 minute walk up the mountain from Kuronagi Station on the trolley train. There are ups and downs, so if you're a little confident in your feet, you'll be able to get there without any problems. When you first arrive at the hot spring and pay the usage fee, you will be given an explanation, and it was very kind and easy to understand. Also, the hot spring felt like a secret hot spring, had a sulfur scent, and felt great on the skin. It seems that the source of Unazuki Onsen is drawn from here.

When I searched online, I couldn't find detailed information about the accommodation, food and beverages, selling prices, day-trip bathing, etc., so I wrote it down as if it were a memo. For your reference■Day trip bathing feeAdult 700 yenChild 300 yenTowel inn name 200 yenRental bath towel 300 yenshampoo, body soapEquipped withApparently it starts at 9am.The indoor bath can only be used outdoors until around noon due to guest cleaning.It seems that you cannot use shampoo, body soap, etc. in the open air. Also, Ororo occurs in the summer, so take your time.If you want to take an indoor bath or wash your body, you should definitely wear your clothes around noon.In the morning, only open-air baths and women's open-air baths are available.There is a rest areaNo time limit■Meal menucoffee ice cream etc.You can eat it regardless of the timeOther lunchesFrom 11:00 to 13:30There is a dining roomSpring water iced coffee 200 yenHot coffee 400 yenIce cream 250 yen Matcha vanillaWild vegetable set meal 1000 yenToyama-style grated konbu rice ballWith fresh incense200 yenHot spring egg 100 yenSoba 700 yenWild vegetable soba 750 yenSingle wild vegetables 300 yenMiso soup 100 yenRice 100 yenToyama style miso oden 200 yenOther river fish etc.Cigarettes 460 yenBeer 360 yenRain cover 300 yenOther plum wine, juice,Ordinary manufacturer's natural water etc.Vending machine availableNo need to bring foodThere was a lot to choose from at reasonable prices.It is said that it comes out of a waterfall that has been left out from the water supply.The spring water was cold and delicious.(free)It would be a good idea to bring a plastic bottle with you.■Inside the buildingFree valuables storageToilet with washletNewspaper availableWaiting room TV available■There is Kannondo at the entrance of the inn.Fortune 100 yenAmulet 700 yen■AccommodationWhile introducing new equipmentTraces of the old inn still remain.The receptionist was very nice.■Mobile signal statusDocomo's mobile reception is good and comfortable.■Route to the innIt takes about 20 minutes to walk from the station.It takes about 20 minutes to cross the tracks at Kuronagi Station and go up the steep stairs along the mountain path along the river, but the descent is a little longer.There is a tunnel in front of the inn that the general public cannot enter. In the summer, it was cool like a natural air conditioner.The road to the inn has some steps and passes along cliffs with ropes, so elderly people and small children should be careful.■Trolley connection statusFor the return train from Kuronagi Station, it seems that reservations cannot be made at Unazuki Station, which is the first train, so you will have to take an empty seat on the train you came from.Also, due to congestion during peak seasons, tickets that allow you to get off at any of the three stations are not sold. I was told that the afternoon flight from Keyakidaira is sometimes fully booked, especially during the Obon period, as it is very crowded.■River situation (at the time of 2019 visit) and miscellaneous impressionsThere were some small children with us, and the river was full of tadpoles and the water quality was clean.There is a sign saying that you cannot get down on the riverbank where Kuronagi's open air is located because there is a part where hot water comes out, so you can only get off on the riverbed with steep steps on the side of the inn.Personally, I felt that if younger children were just playing in the river, the riverbed at Kanetsuri Onsen had more freedom, was relatively empty, and was flat, so it was a good place to relax and play.Additionally, it was difficult to distinguish between employee toilets and customer toilets.It seems that they are strictly separated, so it would be helpful if you could put up a signboard.✳For employees, etc.Postscript for Fall 2024It's been a long time since I last saw it, and I'm grateful that so many people have referred to it as a reference.I heard from the locals that in 2024, due to the effects of the disaster, the trolleys would not be able to reach the end of the line, so they had to restore it.There seems to be no problem here again this year, and we have been visiting for three generations because we can take a day trip to the hot springs near Unazuki Station. In the past, it was an unexplored area where you could climb mountains and pass through tunnels for more adventures than today. Also, routes and services have changed each time due to the development of transportation networks.The prices seem to have gone up since my last visit, but if you can still use the information, please take advantage of it.

The sound of the river was a nice lullaby and I slept well.Unfortunately, the sky was cloudy, but the mist rising between the trees was magical, and the hot water was really good. It's like I felt the richness of the source 😄I was able to use the indoor bath anytime during my stay (I wanted to stay in it for a long time).Next time I want to stay for a few days.

A secret hot spring inn that can only be accessed by trolley train. It takes about 20 minutes to walk along a narrow mountain path from Kuronagi Station. It was used for day trip bathing. Bathing fee 900 yen. …

Take the trolley from Unazuki and get off on the way 🚃After crossing the tracks and learning from a kind station staff, we started at the narrow stone stairs directly opposite.About 20 minutes along the mountain pathA hot spring inn appears next to the river.The open-air bath in the large public bath is unsettling.I used the indoor bathIt was very comfortable.People from overseas also cameI was impressed with how well they researched it.
