I stayed in a room with an open-air natural hot spring bath. It was pretty good, but it wasn't worth the high-end price of 80,000 yen for two people. I was satisfied with the price of 50,000 yen for two people.

2024.7Difficult to evaluate.The food is voluminous and delicious in a private room, so it's great.The spring quality is smooth. The whole family loved it.Rooms are average. I had a room with an open-air bath for one person on the balcony, and to say the least, it was the best. Surprisingly, there were no insects. It feels like a pot bath, and you can adjust the temperature yourself. It's best not to have high expectations for the scenery.Does the building smell like sake? kana? It had a calming scent.I think the response was good.However, the surrounding area is full of ruins. It might be a good idea to go for this purpose. There are almost no shops. The hallway inside the building is not air conditioned and is hot. G cried twice. At night, the inside of the building gets dark and the atmosphere is scary. Parts of both hot spring ceilings are rotten and clearly need repair. It was hot and I couldn't enjoy it very much.The riverbed was very pleasant and there were some ducks. It's cold in the morning, perfect for a walk. It is also well maintained. However, wouldn't it be tough to start a town with a giant salamander? Even my daughter, who loves reptiles, finished it in 10 seconds✖️2.Personally, I think the quality of the spring water was outstanding.I thought it would be better to bring that to the forefront more. The hot springs alone are worth a visit.

I stayed in a room with a cypress bath.The large public bath was beautiful, and being able to soak in the hot water in the cypress bath was really nice.The food was delicious overall, but I personally really liked the white rice.It was an inn I would like to stay at again if I have the opportunity.

My friend and I stayed in a cypress open-air bath with hot spring water!You can wash your body outside in the open-air bath, so it might be too cold in winter!Wash your body in the large public bath, then take a relaxing soak in the bath in your room! It might be a good idea to do that!During the cherry blossom season, you can enjoy a bath while looking at the cherry blossoms.Meals were served in a private room, so I enjoyed having a leisurely conversation with the waitress., I'm full.The room was clean and I had a relaxing time.

I visited with my family of 3. The building felt a little old, but it was well kept and I felt very comfortable.The room was smaller than I expected, and it felt a little strange that the futon had been laid out since I checked in. Also, after reading an online article, I thought I could choose a colored yukata, but I was a little disappointed that it was a regular, simple yukata. Maybe it was an old article. My daughter was very happy with her little cat yukata.The bath in the room smelled great, was comfortable, and was spacious and comfortable.The food was delicious, the hostess and staff had great smiles, and we had a great time. thank you.
