I stopped by for the Natsume Yujincho gift rally.The slanted roof hanging low over the open-air bath made me feel calm ♨️ The food menu is small, but it seems to be different from the ones staying at the hotel.

I went there because I heard they were holding an event on LINE.I wanted to eat soft-serve ice cream, so I ordered it, and was told, "It's 360 yen," and handed me a cone of soft-serve ice cream.Come to think of it, I thought it was 330 yen, so I asked, ``Isn't the soft serve ice cream 330 yen?'' Two staff members said, ``It's better in a cup.''Wouldn't it have been cheaper if I hadn't said "in a cup"?It's my fault for not noticing, but the price was normal and there was no information about the event...I felt extremely disappointed.I wanted you to say something.A friend of mine also said he was going there for the soft serve ice cream, so when I asked him about it, he said he paid the regular price.There seemed to be no guidance at that time.It wasn't like they didn't know about the event because they said, ``I'd rather have a cup,'' and I clearly felt that they had malicious intent.If there are two types, cup and cone, shouldn't you ask which one to use from the beginning?

It is by no means a luxury inn.It's probably a village-run public facility.It was a room with an open-air bath with free-flowing water.It was an inn I would like to visit again.thank you very much.

The public bath is spacious and you can enjoy various types of hot springs.The chestnut soft serve ice cream after taking a bath was extremely delicious. I will come to eat again 🌰
