【important】Due to a change in the operating company (Pasona HD HUB Co., Ltd.), the day-trip bathing facility was abruptly closed in October 2024 (without prior notice even when I used it the previous month)!It may be that there is nothing that can be done about it, but even relatively advantageous accommodation plans are not available on weekends, and I have to say that this approach is truly regrettable from a user's perspective.I would have given it 5 stars, but I'll lower it to 2. If the policy is not to release that Ryoizumi, I will lower it further to 1.Below is a review from the past.I'll leave this here in the hope that it will be useful to someone someday...◆Used many times only at the day trip hot spring (large bath).Located on the west coast of Awaji Island, overlooking the Harima Sea, it is a great place to relieve fatigue and feel warm and calm.The characteristics are as follows.★In Hyogo Prefecture, Awaji Island as well as the Seto Inland Sea coast have precious natural radium (radon) hot springs.★The large public bath has a men's and women's bathing system, with an indoor bath and 2 open-air baths in the back (a rock bath and a recently started jet bath), and an indoor bath and 1 open-air bath in the front (rock bath only).*There is also a family bath with an open-air bath.★The indoor bath has a pleasant scent of cypress and hot water. The open-air bath overlooks the Seto Inland Sea, giving it a nice sense of openness (there are houses in the foreground, so you can't really see the sea all around, but watching the sunset and the sea while cooling off in the breeze is a treat for the eyes).★I think there were about 5 washrooms. Body soap, shampoo, conditioner, and hand face wash are provided◎★I've seen reviews saying that the facilities and changing rooms aren't kept well-cleaned, but the only thing I've noticed is that there are a few spiders nesting in the open air. Even though the facility is 20 years old, it is generally clean and comfortable. All you need is a strong hair dryer.★Usage fee is 700 yen for adults and 350 yen for children. It feels reasonable considering the quality of the springs and facilities.★By the way, the sauna is not in operation (I don't go in the sauna, so it doesn't affect my rating).★Hokudan Sun Beach and the Nojima Fault are nearby, and there are Pasona-related food and amusement facilities scattered around the area, but there are no convenience stores or supermarkets.Although it is a facility like this, the good thing (as a customer) is that there are not many or very few bathers.This reminds me that no matter how good the quality of the hot springs, the biggest obstacle to getting rid of fatigue is being considerate of others.The truth is that I don't want to tell too many people about it...but I'd like people who can relate to it to give it a try, so I'm writing this review now.These hot springs are thought to be more effective if you soak in them on a regular basis, and there are reviews that the food is delicious, so I'd like to visit one of these hot springs someday.

I went to the hot springs for a day trip, and the hot springs were so good that I would like to come back again if I am nearby.

It seemed a little pricey, but the hot springs were great.The room has an ocean view and the view is nice, but the refrigerator is weak (probably not adjustable) and the ventilation fan is very noisy.

I heard it was lower than I thought. What's disappointing is the customer service and rooms. Disappointed with dust and leftovers in the room.

The sea is right in front of you and the view from the room is great.The room was spacious at 12 tatami mats, and the futon was fluffy!I was hoping to soak in the hot spring while watching the sunset, but unfortunately there were many walls that blocked off the view, and I could barely see outside once I was submerged in the hot water.Since I had requested a room without meals, I took out conger eel and Akashiyaki from a restaurant a few minutes away by car.I asked if I could borrow a microwave, and they heated it up in the kitchen and served it on a plate.I was very grateful.I had a very comfortable stay with the courteous hospitality you would expect from a hot spring inn.
