The quality of the hot springs is really good, and even with my extremely dry skin, I didn't have to apply lotion after taking a bath to feel so moisturized. Taking a bath while listening to the sound of the river is the best! I also appreciate the complimentary drinks and the boiled eggs I make myself. There was also free draft beer, which was great for someone like me who loves alcohol! ! Immediately after check-in, I enjoyed a cup of bliss while looking at the view of the greenery shining in the pouring rain. The customer service was polite and pleasant, and I had a pleasant and relaxing time. thank you.

The price is comparable to that of a luxury inn, but it's the worst inn. The food was pretty good, but it's a hot spring inn I don't want to go to again.

I stayed in room 102, and I could see a mountain stream flowing outside the window and several small waterfalls (drops?).The sound of water is quite noisy when the windows are open, but it's not too loud for those who like it.It's right next to a mountain stream, so even though the outside temperature is over 30 degrees, you don't have to worry about the heat.The hot springs are cloudy and have a sulfur scent, and my skin felt smooth after the bath.The food was delicious, with various creative ideas such as half Shinano beef and half Hida beef, and a mix of ingredients from both Hida and Shinshu, such as Nozawana and pickled red turnips.After taking a bath, I received a beer as a welcome drink, which was also wonderful.

The room was very clean and comfortable.As for the food, dinner was delicious, but breakfast was not to my liking.I kept eating it and flushing it with milk...There is a place where you can make your own hot spring eggs, and they were very delicious.The whites will solidify over time, so it's best to leave them out for a while and eat them as soon as they're cool enough to touch.There was a free drink corner and a free beer corner. (Up to one cup per person)As for hot springs, my skin has become smoother than ever before.The price is around 130,000 yen for a family of three for consecutive nights.

Due to the typhoon, all means of transportation were lost and the event was cancelled. Other inns do not have cancellation fees in case of bad weather, but here it seems that the entire cancellation fee will be covered in any case. Please be careful before making a reservation!

The room is old, but in pure Japanese style, with a calming view of greenery outside the window.The hot springs are bluish and cloudy, flowing directly from a real source, and have made my skin smoother than ever before.As expected of a famous hot spring!

I stayed at Hatsushirahone Onsen, which was a long-awaited destination.When we arrived at the inn, we were greeted with a variety of services including welcome drinks, boiled eggs, and summer-only ramune.The hot springs are very good, and the bluish, milky white water that is unique to Shirahone Onsen is very pleasant, and there were many hot water flowers floating on the surface. I was happy to be able to take a bath at night, so I went there three times in total.I had high expectations for the food, but it was very delicious and the portions included horse sashimi, Hida beef, and salt-grilled sweetfish.It was my first time to eat rockfish sashimi, and it was sweet and very impressive. The white rice made with Koshihikari rice from Hida is delicious, and you can get a second helping of it, so you'll be very satisfied. The staff carefully explain each item one by one and the service is good.I am also very satisfied with the service provided by all the staff. Next time I would like to stay during the autumn leaves and snow seasons.
