I stayed there for business, but it was a very nice accommodation. There are 3 open-air and 4 indoor hot spring facilities for sale.All of them are made with continuous flowing water, and the temperature is moderately slow.It is at a level where you can take a long bath. There was a sauna adjacent to the indoor facility, but I wasn't able to use it due to time constraints, so I'd definitely like to try it out next time I have a chance. The view from the location was also extremely beautiful.

I used it on a solo trip. Since you are staying without meals, you are free to stay once you have checked in. There was free ice cream and drinks. There are more baths than rooms, and they can be reserved for private use. It seemed like a waste to be alone. Unfortunately it was raining, but I thoroughly enjoyed it as it was a refreshing break from my daily busy schedule. The hot water is also the best. 12 o'clock out was also good. The innkeepers were polite and kind, and the inn was safe for even a single woman to use.

You will be surprised by the hot water! There are 8 private baths that can be reserved for guests in all rooms. There are 2 large indoor baths, 2 indoor baths that look like normal family baths, and 4 outdoor baths... Among them, there is an open-air bath located a little higher up where you can take a bath with lots of precipitated Yunohana like Yuba. The hot spring water was thick enough to cling to my body...I was very satisfied. Both the proprietress and the employees are very friendly and it feels like coming home.However...the lack of rice is the reason I deducted one star.

My mother and I suddenly stayed overnight without meals.I'll summarize it in bullet points.◆Good points・Tea, canned beer, and even cup noodles were provided free of charge in the room.・One free ice cream after bathing, and all-you-can-drink coffee and milk coffee from the machine installed in the lobby.・The baths were private, and there were several open-air baths and several indoor baths. I entered the open-air bath in the widest one, but it was a waste of space! By the way, there is no bath in the room.◇Bad points・There is no air conditioner in the changing room of the bath, so it can get hot in the summer. By the way, there was a fan in the indoor bath.・The pillow was low.

I'm very satisfied ♪ ^ ^ You can reserve all 8 baths 24 hours a day, and there are no keys.You can see what kind of bath it is right away. Four of them (family baths are not recommended) are open 24 hours a day, so I was grateful that I woke up in the middle of the night to use them. The lights at the other four lights were off at 10pm, so in the morning I went in around 7am.It was great to lock the door and rest my head on a log in a bath with a nice view (I heard it was the largest bath) in a private bath with no one else coming.Since we couldn't eat here, there was a nearby charcoal grill called Waita, so we left the car at Matsuya and the two of us went out for drinks.Waita's ingredients are also the best.Both the meat and seafood were very delicious.Thanks to Mr. Matsuya's kindness, it wasn't snowy so we left the car at a nearby roadside station and had them pick us up there.There was also a wonderful decoration of the snowy scenery, and the hostess was kind and Mr. Nakai was also very kind. He is a nice and pleasant person.This hot spring is as wonderful as Kurokawa or Yamaya, and it was the kind of inn that everyone wanted to know about, but also wanted as a hideaway.
