I used it as a drop-in bath. 600 yen.It gives the impression of being a solid, old-fashioned Showa-era hotel. If the food is delicious, I would definitely like to stay there next time. The hot springs were nice and slippery to the touch.

It is a building from the Showa era.The inside was clean and the customer service from the employees was pleasant.The hot springs feel like they are flowing straight from the source and are the best.

It was my first time using it!This is a super rural inn!If you want to stay at a country inn, this is a 100-point accommodation facility!However, there are also many bad points.① There is no Wi-Fi in the room (🆓Wi-Fi registration required)② There are not enough electrical outlets.③The shop had a lot of Omami for sale, but there was no alcohol knob.④There is no sauna in the public bath.⑤When taking a bath, bring a towel from your room.There is a drug store Cosmos nearby, so I think it will be easier if you do your shopping before going to the hotel so you don't have to go out!By the way, that's a good point.① The food was delicious (it was like vegetarian cuisine, but it felt gentle on the stomach and seemed to be healthy)②Easy to walk in the morning③There is a footbath nearby④The Shofu factory is next door, where the manufacturer is located.

It's not bad, but it's just old.There were probably no foreign tourists, so it didn't feel noisy.It seemed difficult to control the temperature of the hot springs because the water was flowing directly through them. It was too hot to take a long bath.The setta had become loose, so when I told them about it, they replaced it immediately.

I used it on my first trip to Kumamoto.To put it simply, I thought it was a cute retro hotel. I'm very concerned about cleaning,This hotel was well kept and the rooms were very clean.The front desk staff was kind and the food was well-balanced and delicious.The hot springs were also nice and smooth.I would like to use your hotel again if I come to Kumamoto again.

May 2024 WeekdaysI came to Kumamoto for work and stayed at the hotel I was most familiar with in the area.The quality of the spring water is smooth and smooth, truly a beauty bath! It will soothe your tired body from work and other activities.There are two large public baths, one for men and one for men in the morning, and although there is no open-air bath, the one for men at night is larger and more relaxing.The morning bath starts at 6 o'clock, so if it started at 5 o'clock, I could take a morning bath without having to think about breakfast, which is a bit disappointing.The room is a single Japanese-style room that feels dated, but it has a shower and toilet, and although the TV is small, there is an air conditioner, refrigerator, and safe. Matsukaze, a confectionery made in the neighborhood, is a good tea confectionery.Breakfast is available at 6:30, 7:00, 7:30, etc., as confirmed at check-in. When I made a reservation for 6:30 and went to the breakfast venue, although the food was served by room number, the staff were not attentive and I was disappointed. It seems that it took some time to respond to the Korean group next door. Japanese breakfast, fried eggs, and other rice refills are self-serve from the bowl. No coffee. I bought it next to the front desk for 200 yen and it was delicious.I'll do my best and stay healthy today!

The hot springs were also relaxing with smooth water. I think it would have been better if there was a sauna.
