Stayed in mid-October. He is in his 40s.I got a sale emailAbout 18,000 yen including bathing taxI was allowed to stay the night.Private car parking is available for those who arrive early.Park nearby.I arrived at 3pm and I was far away.You can complete the procedure without waiting at the front desk, and once the procedure is complete, use the automatic payment machine on the far right to pay with the plate attached to your room key.You can pay at any time during your stay.It was my first time and it was a new feeling.The building was built around 1964, so it's old, but the interior isRenovated.When the elevator was about to reach our floorChing! It rings.Depending on your age, you may feel nostalgic.The room is on the 3rd floor near EV. Comes with an indoor bath.The tatami mats are newly renovated. It's beautiful overall thoughIt smells like something damp.During your stay, keep your air conditioner on dry mode.Did the smell go away a little over time?That's what it felt like.The air conditioner is the latest model made by Pana, so you can use it even in the middle of summer.Looks like you'll have a comfortable time.If there is no extension phone in the room and you need something,Toll-free number on the inside mapHe said it was over.The large public bath has a sauna and a men's and women's bath.There is a cold bath.The men's bath on the first day is spacious.The bathtub is old with old tiles.The quality of the hot spring water was very good and it made my body feel warm.Dinner was all-you-can-drink alcohol.This is the best!The food was also very good.Breakfast also includes Oedo's traditional Nokkedon bowl.There were many items.I chose breakfast time at 7 o'clock, but when I went there 5 minutes earlier...The line was so long that I thought it was a concert.But I got into the venue easily.Some people may be reluctant to take off their slippers and use the tatami mats in the dining hall. It would be a good idea to bring socks like that.Wi-Fi is a little disappointing.For lobby use only.I knew this in advance and brought my own mobile router, but it was also in a mountainous area and out of range.I spent my time watching TV.I stayed on a weekday and there were elderly peopleIt was 90%.They were all relatively well-mannered.

The hotel is old and there were a lot of stink bugs outside the window, which was a little disappointing. .Taking a bath at a super public bath is still more fun. The only women's baths were a large bath and a small open-air bath.In a sense, it is unusual that there is no Wi-Fi in the room.I thought they were working hard to cut costs by having you lay out your own bedding.But the food is amazing! You can drink as much alcohol as you want, and there's a wide variety of rice options from local cuisine to standard menus to soft-serve ice cream tables. It's definitely cost-effective!

I was able to enjoy delicious food and relax in the hot springs.It was a very quiet environment and the sound of the murmuring river was soothing.In the morning, perhaps due to the temperature, a sea of ​​clouds forms on the nearby mountainside, creating a mystical atmosphere.This is one of the hotels I would like to visit again.Thank you for your help.

This is a very nice inn where you can take advantage of the hot springs at the hotel in Oedo Onsen, which is located in the hinterland of Aizu's famous hot spring Higashiyama Onsen, for a day trip, and it was even chosen as the number one popular inn in 2022. The hot springs alone were good.

Thank you for being a bus attendant! The room was nice, and the food was good too! After all, I felt nostalgic for the old-fashioned bus passengers and the consideration given to them! I wish hotels like this still existed!
