My father's acquaintance told me about it a few years ago, and my family and I have been repeat customers ever since! There are two baths, one in a separate building and very spacious and comfortable! The rice also had a mountain-like feel, with wild vegetables being the main dishes. The carp stew was sweet and went well with the rice, which was also delicious. (I had a hard time eating it because it had a lot of bones...)Unfortunately, the location is quite inconvenient. (Car is convenient)Later, it became a filming location for a movie, and there were autographs from Toshiyuki Nishida, Sadao Abe, and others.By the way, Wi-Fi and BS are fully equipped and I had a comfortable stay! The air conditioner is also up to date.

It feels like a secret hot spring.I used it for a day trip, but since it was at a time when there were no other customers, I rented out the indoor bath for myself.I was surprised by the amount of flowers in the hot water!The temperature at the source is about 70 degrees. My stainless steel faucet has turned black, could it be acidic? It also has a sulfur smell, which is very nice. I heard that the hot springs have been open for 120 years.Since it is in the mountains, the wild vegetables look delicious.I would like to go there in the fall when the leaves change color. The autumn leaves in the garden must be beautiful.

It was a private bath, so I took my time in it.It's a bit expensive at 1000 yen per adult, but it's worth it.

A family-run and cozy hot spring inn with 5 rooms. The wild vegetable dishes were exquisite. Do you appreciate that the raw sake was aged sake from three years ago?I was moved to see them off until I could no longer see them! Founded 135 years ago, the 6th generation is not a date.
