What was good about it・The open-air bath in the room and the quality of the spring water are good.・I was able to check in earlier than scheduled.・Check out is easy, just return the key to the front deskWhat was disappointing・At the time of reservation, it was stated that ``Only adults will be charged bathing tax,'' but children were also charged.・While the bathing tax was for children, the welcome drink was only for adults.・There were not enough bath towels for the number of people.・An internet TV was installed, but because it was not connected to the internet, it became a mere figurine.・There was a smell like burning vinyl coming from outside for about an hour at night, probably because something was burning nearby.・There were no sheets on the mattress

A short trip from Kumamoto city.I was looking for a place to go on a low budget and found this place.This is a room with an open-air bath, and you can see the open-air bath when you exit the room through the shower room. Or you can enter directly from your room!We had dinner outside and had breakfast included.Breakfast is okay...It's new, so it's clean, and I recommend it if you want to enjoy privacy on a low budget.For dinner, we recommend Yaojin, which is about a 10 minute drive away!

📆2024-early MayThis is an inn with a hot spring bathroom that just opened in February 2024.The only hot spring you can visit is the semi-open-air bath.There are 8 family baths (open-air baths with guest rooms).The color of the water seen in a mixture of hydrogen carbonate and sulfate springs. The hot water feels smooth and feels good🥰There was also a salon on the same premises.Is it used in a salon? I don't know, but I saw a flyer for [water cream]👀, and I regret that I should have bought it and took it home💦I look forward to your next visit.Bathing fee: 500 yen🍀Sodium - hydrogen carbonate spring/sulfate spring (hypotonic/neutral/high temperature spring)

I used the hot springs for a day trip.This is a recommended place for those who want to spend some relaxing time surrounded by nature.Although it was a rainy day, we still had a wonderful vacation enjoying the blessings of nature.The shower pressure is strong and good.The hot spring wasn't too hot and I stayed in it for a long time, gradually warming my body.My friend who came with me was happy that the quality of her hair had improved so much.I feel refreshed both physically and mentally.I'll come back later.

It's new and beautiful.Dinner is not provided, but you can eat it nearby or buy rice balls at a convenience store. There is a large public bath, but I prefer the hot spring bath in my room. The source itself is quite hot, and it's irresistible for those who like hot baths. However, the cold spring water can be accessed from a separate faucet, so you can adjust it yourself.Also, the mother and daughter who own this place were the best!! ️
