5/5
I discovered the best alkaline hot spring water.The thick spring water not only removes waste products at once, but also improves skin damage overnight.I soaked in the hot water from check-in to check-out at 4:00 pm, which made my whole body feel less stiff.The independent post station itself has an antique, nostalgic, or Western-style feel, similar to the rooms of a wealthy Japanese man.It's showing its age, but it's clean and has a great atmosphere, so you don't even need a TV anymore.The meal is a new type of kaiseki. While incorporating Western elements, the inn's unique cooking methods, menus, and seasonings have also been devised.Usually, when I eat kaiseki cuisine, I only snack on some things, but the quality of the meal was so high that I ended up eating it all.

I used it for the first time 4 years ago. Beautiful and delicious food and a pleasant hot spring with flowing water flowing directly from the source. The meals are multi-item, sweet and sour? It's a very delicious meal made with. You can enjoy it by looking at the beautifully arranged dishes. The person who brought me breakfast seemed to be the female owner. The reception from the family and staff was not as if they were reading a manual, but in a heartfelt manner.

All the dishes were delicious.You can spend your time relaxing.Unfortunately, I had to leave early the next morning, so I couldn't have breakfast.I will go back to stay in another room, another month.The staff were very courteous, including customer service and phone calls the day before.Thank you for your help.

There are several types of rooms available, and I booked a room with an open-air bath and an indoor bath. There is no public bath, so it is highly recommended for those who want to spend a relaxing time without having to move around.Hot springs flowing directly from the source ♨ It’s the best ☆I didn't even cross paths with other customers.The food was apparently prepared by a woman, so it looked delicious and tasted great! !

I made a reservation for the room via Agoda and completed the credit card payment, but I was informed that the amount was posted incorrectly and that the amount could not be accepted. I was offered nearly double the amount, so I had no choice but to cancel. My family trip plans are all over the place. I think it's a good idea for accommodation facilities to not take any risks.

As soon as I arrived at the inn, I was picked up by my car and my luggage was carried to my room (a house) without going through the front desk.The room I stayed in was ``Yui no Okuyama'', and I was able to check in, check out, eat, and take a bath in my room without meeting other guests, so once I checked in, I felt completely private ❤️There are 2.3 steps at the entrance to the room, and there are also 2 steps in the bath attached to the room.It's cold this time of year, but the hot springs are 43 degrees Celsius, and if it's lukewarm, you can turn the hot springs at 60 degrees Celsius to adjust the hot water to your liking, but if you keep running it for 20 minutes, it will turn into water because it's a full-fledged device. If you close the faucet and turn it back on, hot water will come out.Apparently, the inn provides warm hot spring water once in the morning and once in the evening to keep you warm.Regarding the hot springs, at first I didn't feel like I could feel the warm water, but when I went in for the second time, it seemed like the dead skin cells had been removed without me noticing the first time, and I was so smooth that I was addicted to it ❤️ It's so warm after taking a bath!Each room has heating equipment, and the relaxing space (dining table) has a sunken kotatsu table.The food was delicious, with the proprietress's special creative dishes that I couldn't finish both breakfast and dinner ❤️I was able to spend a quiet and relaxing time!

I read in the reviews that the hot springs were creamy and the food was delicious, so I made a reservation and went, although it was a little expensive.but! ! The room was not cleaned well and was dusty, and the hot spring was not running smoothly.The food was so creative that it didn't suit my taste 😓 The customer service was also bad.I don't think I'll go again! ! !

The hospitality is also polite and excellent. The food is carefully prepared, but the portions are also very satisfying. It makes me want to come again.

I'm allergic to shellfish.Although it was written that the inn was not allergy friendly, when I emailed them, they called me.``I will do my best to accommodate you. ” I was told.On the day of my stay, an elderly man at the inn showed me to my room and told me about the meals.``There will be shellfish dishes, but I'll ask my boyfriend to try that.'' ”I agreed, thinking it was a small amount that I could eat.Then a shellfish dish comes out.Small abalone (Is it a kobushi?), abalone liver, oyster gratin, rice cooked with clams (it was in a pot)What does this inn do to the best of its ability?She says, ``I want my boyfriend to eat it for me.''Does rice cooked with clams mean you shouldn't eat rice? When I asked him about it, he said he would make rice balls for me, which I really appreciated.But since the pot was taken down, I didn't have any rice for my boyfriend to cook.Then, two of my white rice balls (without fillings) and two rice balls with clams pasted all over the surface of the white rice balls appeared.Why wasn't my boyfriend's rice ball rice ball?I don't know if I picked the clams out of the cooked rice or what, but I said it was disgusting and couldn't eat it.I could have cooked rice with white rice.Weren't there any contact details?I travel a lot, so I've eaten quite a lot of food, but cooking wasn't that big of a deal.It wasn't an impressive taste either.It's at the level where I'm looking for a dish that makes me think, ``Oh, I can still eat this deliciously.''Creative cooking is difficult, isn't it?The hot water at Hirayama Onsen is very good, so I would like to come again, but it is not available here.Don't trust the reviews that much.
