Stayed here for bike touring.I was grateful that there was a covered bicycle parking lot.The building is generally worn out and has a Showa era feel to it.I think it's suitable for people who like that kind of atmosphere.I can't review the food because I stayed without meals, but the hot springs were nice and atmospheric.

It's not a new inn, but it feels clean. The quality of the hot spring water is the best! !It reminds me of the nostalgic inn I went to on a school trip!Everyone at the inn is also kind.There is also a covered parking lot for motorcycles.If you are looking for a stylish and luxurious feel, look for accommodations that cost more than 30,000 yen per night!

While touring around Aso by motorcycle, I looked for a place with a covered parking lot and ended up staying here. It's located in the Uchinomaki Onsen area, down from Daikanbo toward Mt. Aso, so I didn't have much trouble finding it. For motorcyclists, there is a touring plan that costs about 7,000 yen without meals.The room was about 10 tatami mats in size, which I felt was a little too big for one person. The building itself has a historic appearance, but I didn't have any particular complaints. howeverThere are no convenience stores or Hotto Motto within walking distance, so it might be better to buy something on the way or eat somewhere before checking in!There was a slight difference in price between shared toilets and rooms with toilets, and the baths were a large public bath and on weekdays, there were limited hours, but the family bath seemed to be available.The public bath was available 24 hours.I'm grateful that the room has a large TV and free Wi-Fi, but the only amenities are two towels and a toothbrush. I did have a yukata. We recommend that you bring your own. There was a large river flowing right in front of me, and the scenery was nice, but I couldn't sleep well at night because the sound of the river was bothering me.If you are concerned about this, I think it would be a good idea to bring earplugs. I think it was just a coincidence, but it seems that they are also accepting group visitors, and I had a training camp for the track and field club of a corporate club on that day, so to be honest, I couldn't really relax. However, the most troublesome part of motorcycle touring is the covered bicycle parking space, which is conveniently located under the building.However, I was a little disappointed that there was no pillar-like thing to lock the earth in the atrium.

I used it on a motorcycle trip. Heavy rain was forecast for that day (it was starting to rain), so first thing in the morning we moved to Kintoki-san, where we were planning to stay that night, and as soon as we arrived, it started to rain heavily. First of all, I was impressed that the motorcycle parking lot was covered. Since I couldn't go anywhere, I asked if I could stay in the lobby until check-in time, and the person in charge contacted me to quickly clean the room and let me check-in in the morning. Thank you very much, Ms. Although it is an old hotel, it was well-cleaned and I had a comfortable stay. The bath feels great too! Kintoki is the best.

This is a biker-friendly inn. The large public bath that can be used even during the night is nice. One minus is that there is no refrigerator in the room. I'll give it a 5 star because there was a shared refrigerator and ice maker before the EV.

Thank you for staying overnight during Golden Week. The only good thing was the hot spring water. When I made the reservation, I thought it would be cheap, but as other people have said, it's quite old, so I didn't think it was a good value for money. It just doesn't feel unclean. The location is also good if you plan on sightseeing elsewhere. I think it would be a good inn if the facilities were renewed, but it would be a waste.

As everyone has written, the building is quite old. However, I don't think there is a problem because the cleaning is thorough. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, so I was able to have a comfortable stay. The fact that the hot springs are open 24 hours a day is very attractive. I also appreciate that you can stay at a low price.

I stopped by and used it for a bath. The hot spring facilities around here open at 2pm, so be sure to go accordingly. Although it is an old inn, the hot springs are kept clean and there are no problems with the facilities. There are three types of bathtubs: hot, normal, and lukewarm. The water was lukewarm, but it was just the right temperature for me. There are no lockers in the changing room, so use the lockers at the entrance.There is also one hair dryer. Shampoos are provided.

The equipment is old, but the employees are all nice. Before checking in, I was able to store my luggage and learn about nearby hot springs, so I could fully enjoy Uchinomaki. It was a hotel that I would definitely like to stay at again when I go to Mt. Aso.
