The view from the open-air bath is amazing. It's also nice to be able to see my parents' house. The K's sign board obstructs the view.Instead of using the restaurant, I used Inoue Shoten. Very satisfied with the chashu pork at Jiro style ramen🐷I will give it 4 stars because I lost 50,000 yen at Monaco Palace on the way home.

R6.9 This is also a drop-in visit.It was a hot day with the temperature outside exceeding 30 degrees.The water temperature was average, not too lukewarm or too hot, but it was so hot that I didn't go very slowly as I like lukewarm water.To be honest, the indoor bath might have been a little better.Although I didn't use the sauna, I was able to sit outside on a chair and relax and feel the natural breeze.I'll come back again when it gets cooler.R5.11 I stopped by at lunchtime on Saturday.Both the indoor and outdoor baths were large and the temperature was just right, and there weren't many other people using the baths, so I was able to relax.Lockers with keys are free, the drop-in fee is a cheap 600 yen, and there is also a sauna and cold bath.I would definitely like to stop by and use them again as they have long business hours.

I used it for businessIt's close to the high-speed IC, but don't expect great views.The hotel and guest rooms are well-cleaned.The hot spring has a sauna and an open-air bath, but the water in the cold bath doesn't come out much, making you question the cleanliness. not so coldThe sauna is spacious and has a TV, but there is no beat bang or clock.There are slight variations in the breakfast buffet on the 1st and 2nd day.The order of food is drinks -> vegetables -> side dishes, which is different from a typical hotel.Content is not badThere are points for improvement, but they are at a level that can be addressed immediately.Satisfied considering the price for business use.I would like to use it again next time

I had some business to do nearby and two of us stayed here for several nights. The location is conspicuous as it is on a hill, and the view from the room is also good.There is a restaurant attached, so it's convenient to pop in even if you're only staying with breakfast and haven't decided on dinner.The breakfast buffet was also delicious.The selection of buffet salads is almost the same every day (about 4-5 types of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, carrots, etc.), and the main dishes are fish and Italian? There were about 6 types of meat, curry, etc., and the main dishes changed over the course of two days, so it was good to have something to look forward to.Other items include dashimaki eggs, yogurt, and small pieces of fruit.For rice, there was white rice and porridge.There were so many different types of pickles that I felt local.I was also happy that it had a drink bar like you would find at a family restaurant.It was popular with children.And the family bath is really nice!I was planning on going to the public bath, but I was told that if I made a reservation, I could use the family bath for an hour.When I went in, I found several private rooms lined up on the side street of the public bath. It had a normal indoor bath and an open-air bath with a small garden outside.Since it was used by two people, it was very spacious and we were very satisfied.The size of the bathtub is probably about 3 people. (×2)It was great to be able to relax and not worry about being seen.Inside the private room of the family bath, there is a space like a small rest room (compact chair and desk), a hand washing area, a large mirror, a hair dryer, and a toilet. I thought you could enjoy a bath even if you don't want to. Please try using it!

It is easily accessible from Hitoyoshi Smart IC and is close to Hitoyoshi Castle and downtown Hitoyoshi.There is a large public bath and a family bath, and it is a hot spring with good hot water.The carpets in the rooms are clean and spacious.It's comfortable and has plenty of outlets.There was something like an ashtray in the room.Personally, I don't really like the smell of cigarettes, so I wonder if it's okay! ? I was wary of this, but the room was comfortable and didn't smell like cigarettes at all.It was a slow wi-fi 4 environment, but there was no problem with the strength.

The room was clean and nice, but when I ordered Neapolitan from the restaurant on the 1st floor, it turned out that they had used powdered cheese that had been expired for about a month, so I reported it to an older woman and ate the dish as is. I told them it was okay, but they took it away without saying a word, and when I asked about the situation, I was told in a curt manner that they were rebuilding it, which was very disappointing. Please at least apologize and explain how to deal with it.

It's a bit disappointing that there is only a small space for luggage storage in the guest room and the air conditioner doesn't work well.Too bad the bathroom wasn't as nice as I expected.Breakfast was a buffet and it was also average.I think the cost performance is good.I went in the summer, so the elevator was hot and smelly, which was a shame.

The family bath is the best.The open air was so comfortable that I wanted to stay in it for a long time.

There were no Western-style rooms available, so I used a Japanese-style room. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the quality of the hot spring water in the bath was very smooth, which relieved my body fatigue. The only negative points were that the Wi-Fi signal was weak and the sound of rain splashing was so loud that I woke up several times during the night.
