A belated review. Went here at Mar 2018. Stayed in a room on 2F with private onsen on balcony. The balcony is big, the onsen bath is also big. Room spacious. But its the food thats most impressive. The best I had (had been to countless japanese ryokan). I give it a 5*. Only complain maybe no view, but then the price will be different.

I was looking forward to going here because the food was highly rated in the reviews. It looked pretty luxurious, but the taste was horrible. The breakfast was so bad that I could hardly eat it. I was forced to eat too much, so I couldn't eat slowly. I had an after-party in my room and added some ice, but they said the ice maker wasn't working properly. The sink drain in the room didn't drain well and was dirty. The hot water was ok, but I won't go there again.

It was a great stay! The hot spring water was flowing directly from the source, and the water temperature was just right. The staff were also very kind. I stayed on a breakfast only plan, but the breakfast was very delicious. I don't think you'll be able to find a better inn than Kirinoyu in the same price range. I will definitely visit again! ! thank you very much.・The refrigerator in the room was a little noisy, so I had to unplug it before going to bed. (The contents of the refrigerator were empty)-The air flow of the hair dryer was low, so it may take a long time for those with long hair to dry.・My room was on the second floor, but I was worried that I would be able to see it from the building across the street when I entered the hot springs. I was a little concerned. I bent down and entered. (Once you enter the hot spring, you won't notice it at all. The shower was also in a blind spot from the building across the street.)

When I was looking for an inn with an open-air bath in the guest room for my wedding anniversary, I found this place and made a reservation. It is located in a corner of a peaceful hot spring town, near the Ueki Interchange. The water is not too hot and has a slightly slippery feel, so you won't feel uncomfortable even if you soak for a long time, and the quality of the hot springs is very good as it blends into your skin. The food was impressive, and there was a welcome dessert in the refrigerator in the room. Dinner and breakfast were simply sumptuous, and each item was delicious. All the desserts served are handmade by the head chef. I ate to my heart's content, soaked in the bath as much as I wanted, and had a meaningful time.The negative points are the lack of tourist attractions nearby and the volume of food (lol)For those of us who don't want to leave anything behind, there were so many items that we thought it was a penance.But anyway, the food was delicious and I wanted to go again!

To celebrate the anniversary, we stayed one night at Kirinoyu Ryokan, which has rooms with open-air baths and luxurious meals. The hot spring water was slippery, made my skin smooth, and was effective against muscle pain. The large public bath on the first floor also has an open-air rock bath where you can take a relaxing bath. In addition, the semi-open-air bath in the guest room was a natural hot spring that could be used 24 hours a day, so the family could bathe whenever they wanted. For dinner, we ate a rustic kaiseki meal in a private room on the first floor. The sashimi was fresh and there were a lot of dishes, so I was full. Breakfast was also Japanese, with a wide variety of dishes such as dakojiru. I had a wonderful time celebrating with my family.

I chose this as my accommodation for my first trip. I was just looking through Google maps and heard that Ueki Onsen was good, so I came here. It's a great value for money ryokan. For 48,300 yen for two people, they provide breakfast and dinner for both, and it was delicious, and the hot springs in the rooms were the best. Instead, because it is a rural area, you have to walk for about 15 minutes from the Ueki Onsen entrance bus stop to get there by bus. If you are traveling by renting a car, I highly recommend it.

It was a hideaway and I was able to relax very much.The room had an open-air bath, and it was very spacious.Also, coincidentally, there was no one in the public bath between 19:30 and 20:30, so I was able to take an indoor bath or an open-air bath by myself.To be honest, I thought it would be better if there was a water server in the public bath.The hair dryer in the public bath seemed to have more power and better performance than the hair dryer in the room.The Wi-Fi in the room was strong and I was able to use it comfortably for work and web meetings.The staff welcomed us very warmly and made our stay very comfortable.

Although the location is remote,It was a great experience.All the staff are very kind.The food is quite elaborate and has an artisanal feel.Each one is made with great care.It was a private room with a semi-open air.Every corner of the room has been cleaned.There is not a single dust!! ️Surprisingly, it felt quite spacious for two people.The hot spring room has free flowing water❗️You can enter as much as you want 24 hours a day.If you stay in even while you sleep, you'll end up not getting enough sleep⁉️ (lol)But I got a little excitedLooking for a ryokan with a private bathIt depends on how you get here.Anyway, I'm very satisfied with the food❗️The room also feels a little dated.It was well cleaned.What is the price there? 🐱It turned out to be cheaper than I expected.It seems that there are also overnight stays, butPlease come for dinner ❗️Be sure to try breakfast ❗️We had the best time☺️thank you very much.I will use them again.There are some cute employees outside.Please let me use it again

Ueki Onsen has a melting hot spring quality that makes you fall in love with it 💘 It's worth visiting as many times as you like ♨️ Drop-in bathing fee is 500 yen The grounds are for hotel guests only 🅿️, so day-trippers can use the gravel floor opposite the building 🅿️ ️ There are no coin lockers in the changing room, so it's safe to store your valuables inside the car or at the front desk. ♨️The construction is simple, with only an indoor bath (38℃) and an outdoor bath (41℃), but you can enjoy the good spring water. Please bring your own Drop-in bath 18:00 - 20:00 Please be careful as the footing is quite slippery ⛸️
