📆2024-5-12On Mother's Day again this year, Hinagu Onsen in Yatsushiro will hold carnation baths at 6 facilities as usual💕I was running out of time, but when I inquired, I was pleasantly informed that it was OK to take a bath.Yanagiya is the first place I stopped by at Hinagu Onsen.At the bathhouse, I had fun chatting with two local ladies while taking a bath.Kindly agree to take photos 👌🙇♀️According to the owner, Yanagiya Ryokan has a history of over 130 years 😱 The Shoin-zukuri building is classified as an important cultural property ✨It was a hot spring at a lovely and elegant ryokan♨️. The azaleas in the garden are also colorful 😍Mother's Day carnation bath event ❣️ I'm grateful for the healing experience this year 🙇♀️💕🍀 Simple hot spring (hypotonic, weakly alkaline, high temperature spring)Bathing fee 400 yen

The inn that seems to have the most history in Hinagu OnsenSelling hot springs and catsThe service is simple and suitable for experienced travelers.It's also tough on insects and bad people.If you can accept these conditions, paradise awaits you.

This is an inn where you can experience the rise and fall of Hinagu Onsen. If left in good condition, it will become a cultural property, but if things continue like this, it will become an abandoned building. I wonder if something can be done... This is an inn that we hope will be used by many people and preserve the prosperity of Hinagu Onsen Town for as long as possible.The spring quality is the best. The bath is marble. The changing room is small.There are 2 showers, one of which is difficult.Jumpu, conditioner, and body soap are of good quality.There is a hair dryer.Parking available.The glass windows everywhere are worth seeing.Day trip bath 500 yen

In this day and age, a room like that without meals costs over 6,000 yen.I guess that would have been fine in the past.I'll never stay there againLet's think of something moreI stayed at a business hotel in Yatsushiro.

I was looking for a place to stay for a company-related event. However, since there were only a few dozen participants, we made a phone call to confirm details such as whether we could accommodate the event.I couldn't get through, probably because it was a busy time, but I got a call back from the man after a while.It was good so far, butWhen I simply told them, ``This is from a company called △△ in 〇〇 city...'', they quickly answered, ``If it's a sales call, that's fine.''I was stunned.That blunt response alone made me lose the slightest desire to use the service.

It's a very old inn (built 120 years) and had a nostalgic feel.I made a reservation through Jalan, so I was able to stay at a very cheap price. We also had coupons worth 3,000 yen per person, and we were able to buy a lot of souvenirs.

If you are a Japanese person who loves Japanese hot spring culture, you should visit Hinagu Onsen at least once.From the retro interior, you can see that it was once crowded with groups.Even though it's old, it doesn't have a gloomy atmosphere, and even the friendly cats come to say hello.Other people's comments and photos will also be helpful, so if you want to enjoy a good old-fashioned hot spring inn, please give it a try. I think it would be interesting to imagine what Hinagu Onsen was like back then.

I'm someone who goes to hot springs several times a month and I don't go to nice hotels, so I don't really think about it.This is the first hot spring trip for someone who doesn't travel much! I think if you have strange expectations like that, you will be disappointed. Facilities, food, etc.but!I will write about the good points and the bad points.I stayed in a cheap business Japanese room. Is it a room just diagonally above the front desk or entrance? I think that. I have also added explanations to each photo I have included.There is a Western-style toilet in the room (the business Japanese-style room has a Western-style toilet that cannot be washed, but it is spacious.) If you get a good room, you will have one. The good rooms are the wonderful rooms that have been used for a long time and have been beautifully designed. That will be a room with a washlet toilet (I asked for one with a washlet and was directed there, but the price difference was too much so I gave up).Is it because it's a business room? The setup is bad. But the reason why the insects aren't coming in is because I'm using something like an electronic mosquito repellent. (I don't know about the better rooms).As shown in the fourth photo, there was a large praying mantis on the handrail of the stairs. Children might like it (๑･̑◡･̑๑)A stray cat is waiting in the breezeway. It's friendly. When I asked the person at the inn, they said it was Mr. Nora.The people at the inn were nice.So I want you to do your best.I went there during the Obon holiday and only stayed at 4 or 5 hotels, so I was worried.Also, this is not a review, butThere is a shop diagonally across the street that makes and sells Hinagu Chikuwa.It's fun to look at because it's made by machine in the store.The clasp will make a proper sound and it will gradually become finished. You can buy it freshly made.Immediately after checking out, I parked my car in the hotel's parking lot and bought some food. It was delicious.

It was old but had a nice atmosphere! Although it didn't have modern facilities, it was an elegant space with a history!

Although it was noticeable that it was not well maintained, I could feel the vestiges of a historic inn here and there. The large hall on the first floor and the five rooms at the back of the second floor were especially elaborately designed. The bathroom is also small, but has a very elegant feel.

Is this what you call a secluded ryokan? It's wonderful to feel the wabi-sabi feeling.If you look at the details, there are signs that the facilities have been renovated, but overall there is no discomfort. Places that are immediately visible are neat and clean. Satisfied with the bath!It's quiet at night, so it's also recommended for those who want to relax.More than half of the rooms are no longer in use due to the corridors being blocked off, giving the building a sense of desolation.It's in good competition with other inns nearby, so if you're interested, I think it's a good idea to enjoy it from the area you can access.

It is a dignified building, even though it is quiet, which makes you think that it was once a very prosperous place. I guess it can't be helped due to the trends of the times, but the sense of wabi-sabi is indescribable.The bath is the best. There are two bathtubs, one with slightly warm water and one with slightly hot water.

This old, historical Japanese inn has a nice hot spring bath on the premises. The water quality is good. Something extremely impressive was that the changing room floor is stone. Out of the hundreds of onsens I've been to, this is the only one I can remember having a stone floor in the changing room. Very unique, nice atmosphere. (When I was there, day use was only available from 5pm to 7pm. Short window of time to enjoy a soak for non-overnight customers.)The owner was really friendly, too. This is probably a nice place to stay at.

Personally, I liked the old one because it had a very nice feel to it. I think it's difficult to maintain. The toilet had been renovated and was very clean. I would like to go again on another occasion.

I used a Jalan discount coupon on a short trip within the prefecture.Although it is an old inn, the staff at the restaurant were very nice, and I was able to spend a relaxing time there without being pretentious.It felt like staying in a country house from Ghibli, and it was the first time in a while that I used a toilet without a washlet. The futon is also good and heavy. My lower back hurt when I woke up in the morning, but I was able to reset it by taking a bath right away.Dinner and breakfast were also delicious.

The service was great and the inn felt like home. The rice was really delicious.However, the room was so dusty that it was difficult to sleep. If you have allergies, please use the air purifier in your room.
