This hot spring is recommended for people who like hot springs because the hot spring ingredients are concentrated.

I used it during my summer vacation. I was grateful that the person who was with me at the hot springs spoke kindly to me.The hostess also kindly gave the children sweets to eat in the car. I felt warm!

Although I stayed without meals, I ordered rice balls, miso soup, and horse sashimi. The water is good and the taste is delicious. The wild vegetables are delicious. The photo is bad, but it's delicious.

I used it at a drop-in bath.The timing was good and the place was completely reserved.I couldn't enjoy the open-air bath because of the bad weather, but the indoor bath was great.If the hot spring water is left flowing, it will be too hot to enter.I had the luxury of using the large bathroom.The acidic quality of the hot springs is very good for the body, so it's a good hot spring that you'll want to come back to again and again.

The open-air bath has a comfortable temperature that is slightly lukewarm. However, male customers cannot use the facility after 8:00 p.m. There is only an indoor bath, but the indoor bath is too hot to enter during this time. You can add water by yourself, but it was difficult to do so due to the lack of water. I need a little more consideration in this area.

Used for day trip bathing. As of 2024, it will cost 700 yen for adults.The parking lot is opposite the building.Valuable items can be stored in a free locker next to the lobby.Indoor baths are separated by gender, and outdoor baths are mixed. (There is also an open-air bath for women only.)There are no showers in the open air, so you will need to wash your body in the indoor bath.It is characterized by its abundant amount of hot water and its milky white color.

I guess it's worth it for the price, but it doesn't feel very clean.Even though the water was great, there was a lot of hair in the bathroom, especially in the changing room. There was no cleaning done after each visitor. The trash can is also full of trash. It remained the same in the morning. There is no open-air bath.I'm glad that the futon was laid out in advance. It was a small and old room, so being able to lounge around on the futon was a big help.The food was plain and average, but the seasoning was delicious. Satisfied with the quantity. I ordered an additional serving of horse sashimi. I think it was 1.800 yen. I ordered sake at Choshi. The bottled beer was a large bottle, which was nice. I think the price is reasonable.

I stayed for one night❗️You can bathe in the hot springs 24 hours a day. There are no lockers in the changing room. It's inconvenient because the indoor bath and open-air bath are separated, but I think it's a good bath ❗️

We visited local people on a day trip bath. We were also given a room with karaoke, and we had fun interacting with each other.

The women's changing room and the entrance to the mixed open-air bath were designed with women in mind.

I came here looking forward to the mixed outdoor ukiyo-e bath. The inside of the hotel has the atmosphere of a Showa era hotel. The open-air bath is a mixed bathing area, but it is only for women from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, so I was able to enjoy the open-air bath at my leisure during this time. The indoor bath was hot, but the outdoor bath was just the right temperature.Nakanosawa kokeshi dolls were sold in the souvenir corner. There were some kokeshi dolls that weren't sold anywhere else, so it took quite a while to decide which one to buy. It was a fun time listening to the host explain things to me.

I visited here for the mixed bathing open-air bath.My hobby is enjoying hot springs with my husband, so if possible, I would like to enjoy a mixed open-air bath without other people around.I had heard in advance from someone I met at another day-trip hot spring that you can wear bathing clothes at Hirasawaya, so I was looking forward to it, but there was no specific guidance and I didn't have to put my towel in the bathtub. "Do not enter" is displayed.So, I tried to find a time when there weren't many people and tried the mixed open-air bath. Later on, I discovered a sign saying that bathing clothes can be worn, but I enjoyed it by wrapping myself in a towel in front of the bathtub and taking it off before entering. I was a little nervous.The amount of hot water in the bath is as expected.However, in the summer, it's too hot to put it in as it is, which is a bummer. I'm glad I was able to camp near the water supply, but I don't think I would have been able to get in if it wasn't.The atmosphere is more like a business hotel or ski inn than a hot spring inn, and the oldness is noticeable here and there. I was especially concerned about the peeling tiles in the women's indoor bath, and I was a little nervous about going in alone at night. I would like a slightly brighter atmosphere.Dinner wasn't bad either, but I was a little disappointed that the hot food was cold and the cold sake wasn't quite cold. It's a little sad that everything is already lined up, but I think it can't be helped by manpower.For breakfast, rice and miso soup have already been served. It was a pickle-based side dish with a lot of salt, which was a bit disappointing.I didn't have any water for after taking a bath, so I bought some at a nearby convenience store.Even just tweaking the small details can make a big difference in the impression.Cold water after a bath and hot spring water are also good for the stomach, so it would be nice if there was a place where you could drink it outside without leaving a cup in the bathhouse. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, I'm worried about reusing cups. (Please take into consideration the fact that the pH of the hot springs is perfect for sterilization.)The most disappointing thing was that the mixed bathing open-air bath was open until 10pm. While I was getting a little drunk and resting, I ran out of time for the night. I would like to be there at least until 11pm.

The other day, I went to Nakatsuzawa Onsen for the second time and visited the bath at Hirasawaya Ryokan for the first time.The indoor bath was hot, and the outdoor bath had a very good temperature, neither too hot nor too lukewarm.I want to repeat it again.

I've been to Nakanosawa Onsen several times.I was looking forward to the unique hot springs of Nakanosawa Onsen, where the cloudy water is full of hot spring flowers, but I didn't feel the hot springs were as thick as the hot springs.Maybe it's because of the weather, but the public bath is almost transparent and there is almost no hot spring water! The open-air bath was a little precipitated. They said they clean it every day because it's slippery.The inn as a whole is old, and I don't think being old is a bad thing, but as soon as I arrived at the inn, there was a peculiar smell.The room had a different smell than the lobby, and there was hair falling down, and the public bath smelled like a toilet. There is no sense of cleanliness.The floor of the changing room in the public bath was also filthy.The food was okay and not bad.

Hot springs are the best. As someone who likes sulfur hot springs and cloudy waters, Nakanosawa Onsen is on par with both Yamagata Zao and Kusatsu Onsen. The hot spring town is becoming deserted (although I can still feel its charm), but I would like young people to visit and pass on the hot spring town forever. I would like to send a shout out to Mr. Hirasawa who is working hard. You'll be happy to have a stylish yukata on hand, and from spring to autumn, you'll want to walk around the hot spring town with your geta on.As mentioned above, the two traditional restaurants in the hot spring town are illuminated in the early hours of the evening. It's a shame that it disappeared.

I visited on February 4th, and the snowy road from the interchange was so snowy that even winter tires were a little uneasy, but I arrived safely.A hot spring inn that sells acidic sulfur sulfates. The atmosphere has gone past the Heisei era and is completely Showa. It has an atmosphere. This is a great inn for men traveling alone. Bath twice before dinner, once after dinner, and twice the next day.In the morning, I feel happy when I see the emerald green hot springs glistening in the sunlight. Even when you put it in your mouth, you can feel the richness of minerals. Apparently it's good for your stomach too. It was also written as Midoribansen, and it is quite a hot spring. Takayu in Fukushima is also famous for its cloudy hot springs, but this one is no less famous. It is well worth visiting and taking a bath.I feel like the food is good for the price. It is also located at the foot of Mt. Adatara, near the old battlefield of the Boshin War, and is a hot spring inn that makes you want to come back even in the fall.A stuffed fox near the front desk creates a Showa era atmosphere. For some reason, Yujiro's song plays in my head.
