The number of items on the morning and evening buffet was neither too large nor too small, and it was just the right amount so that you wouldn't regret not being able to eat something.The inside of the hotel seems to have been beautifully renovated and doesn't feel old.The hot springs are cloudy.Is Yunohana cleaning on Monday? I heard elsewhere that it appears on Milky Day, but I didn't feel that white, probably because of the time of day.By the way, it seems to be on Tuesday in winter.Large public bath and open-air bathThere is water service in the changing room.There is a cold water and room temperature button, so it is friendly for people with sensitive stomachs.The hair dryer corner is quite spacious and there are many hair dryers.After the gender swap the next morning, it was halved.Dryers vary in manufacturer and type.(Depending on the day you stay, it may be the other way around.)Perhaps they focused their efforts on renovating the dressing room on one side and stocking one type of dryer manufacturer.[Large bath]12:00-25:00 / 5:00-10:00Gender swap starts at 5:00am.For hot spring geeksUnfortunately, you can't enter for 24 hours.Furthermore, the open-air bath is open until 24:00 to prevent danger.1st floor welcome drink15:00~19:00There is a rest spot where you can drink coffee and juice freely.Buffet style both morning and nightI think it's okay to be free.Is dinner determined by arrival time?We went from 7:00 pm to avoid crowds, but those who arrived early were able to use the place earlier.Even if you go about 15 minutes earlyIt was completely empty so I thought I could just ignore it (lol)Breakfast starts at 7:00 at the earliest.There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from, and the friendly staff sometimes helps with the presentation.Are they sold inside the hotel? The all-you-can-eat meal includes all-you-can-eat breads, including a giant croissant the size of your palm, supervised by Maison Kayser, so it's a good deal.It's a hotel on top of a hill, so you can stay in any room.The view is good.Check out is 10:00Make reservations at Jalan more than a month in advance.Prices tend to rise as the date approaches.We strongly recommend that you make a reservation as soon as you have decided on your plans.I was able to stay there in September for around 12,000 yen.Overall, I am satisfied with staying here at Dake Onsen♨️.The only thing I was concerned about was where to park my car.It wasn't that far from the entrance, but it was on a slope so it felt like it was a bit of a distance to drop off your luggage, park your car, and walk back to the entrance.However, there was only one Lexus parked on the premises of the inn, and I felt disappointed that the inn did not treat its guests equally.

I used it when returning home.There were four of us: my two sons, ages 3 months and 3 years old, and my wife.The room was a Japanese-style room and was average, but the hot spring water was so cloudy that you couldn't see the bottom of the bathtub. It was very good.The breakfast buffet had bread made in the inn's bakery, and it was very delicious, but if I had to ask, I would like the croissant to be a little smaller in size, so it would be easier to eat, and I would like to get a second helping. I felt that I could also get a sense of satisfaction.I am very satisfied with the fact that they took care of the seating when dining with children.I was also greeted by all the employees and felt their hospitality.It was a ryokan that I would definitely like to use again.

This was my second time using the room, and this time there was a smell from the drain or something that filled the room, which was a bit unbearable.Last time, for some reason, I was in a gorgeous room that was like a special room and it was wonderful, but this time I thought this was the standard room and ended up spending the night without asking for a room change.But it's still weird. . .It smells too bad.I don't think all rooms are available, so if you have a problem, please try to negotiate to change the room. It doesn't go away even with ventilation.I made sure to point this out to you at check-out. I'm sure other guests will make similar comments.Other than that, it has good reviews as per many people's reviews.However, the smell in this room...In a sense, it was input into my memory for the rest of my life.

I stayed here on the first day of a three-day weekend in September.I can tell that it is an old building, but the inn has been renovated and devised so that it doesn't feel that way.The hospitality of the staff was wonderful. Although it was raining, the operation was excellent in keeping customers from getting wet. I used the buffet in the morning and evening, and even though it was busy, I was very politely guided to my seat. They weren't directing people to the seats that were available, but there were name tags on the seats, so I could see that they were preparing in advance while understanding the whole situation.The store is stylish and seems to be stocked with local items. I ended up shopping for over 10,000 yen because there were so many things I didn't see that often.There is also a kakuuchi bar where you can drink Fukushima sake. I had the Okunomatsu sake. It's a pity that it closes at 8pm.I have attached a photo of the room, and it was a very nice twin room. We had a great time drinking alcohol side by side at the long wooden desk where we could work.For breakfast, you can enjoy delicious bread supervised by Maison Kayser. Other than that, the pot-cooked rice and miso soup were also very delicious.Although it is a hot spring, there are two large bathhouses, and men and women can bathe in both mornings and evenings. The indoor bath is spacious enough, and the open-air bath lets you enjoy the outside atmosphere while relaxing in the bathtub. There are enough washing areas and enough space so you don't feel cramped.The customer base is mostly families and groups, but there are also a lot of married couples and couples, and they seem to be living together well, with separate areas depending on the situation.Points for improvement are the lounge and restaurant that is only open during the day.Honestly, I wasn't satisfied with the lounge, and I didn't see the restaurant open only during the day, even though it's a place where many guests pass by, during my stay...I was very satisfied overall. This is a hot spring inn that I would like to visit again.
