Mochizuki Ryokan gives you a feel of the good Showa era.I parked my car in the parking lot and walked a short distance to the entrance. My name is written on the welcome board, which makes me happy.Check-in and payment will be done the next day at the reception, and you will be shown to your room.There is an exhibition space in the lobby, where memorabilia of former Chunichi player Ibata (current coach of the Japanese national team Samurai Japan) and others that were used for independent training are displayed.Enter the room by walking through a Spirited Away-style hallway with a low ceiling. A large Japanese-style room with futons already laid out. There is a Shigaraki ware bathtub in the courtyard, and the hot spring water is flowing in. Naturally flowing from the source! wonderful.I'm going to the public bath. The open-air bath feels great!The indoor large communal bath is the best hot spring in Japan, which is the owner's commitment! There is a declaration. It's true that the quality of the spring water is smooth and makes your skin beautiful. It's warm.A quiet night. I can sleep well.Wake up. Take a bath in the indoor bath that is open 24 hours a day!I wanted to hit my beard, so I went back to the public bath, which opened at 6am, and felt refreshed.We have breakfast at 7 o'clock, so you can enjoy it thoroughly.I prepared for departure, left the room, paid the bill at the front desk with my credit card, and was able to work comfortably today.thank you very much.

I use it every time I travel and it's a safe accommodation.The inside of the inn is old and has an unusual structure, perhaps because it is a long-established establishment, but you can relax in the relaxing atmosphere ^_^The open-air bath is spacious and the quality of the spring water is excellent.Your skin will become smooth♪I think this is very convenient even if you are traveling alone as the accommodation costs are not expensive and you can have dinner and breakfast included, and there are many stores nearby even if you are staying without meals.That's what I thought, but I stayed here for 6 years without meals, but the accommodation fee has been rising every year (8950 yen for accommodation only)There seemed to be a group of people coming, so I was taken to a small room in the corner of the building, and I wondered if another inn or hotel would be cheaper and better.That's too much discrimination (^_^; Or maybe you should let them know when you contact them.I'll probably never stay there again
