Takigawaya Ryokan (Yokomuki Onsen)

There is no better location for those who love warm baths.

The landlord is only open to the extent that he can provide services, so only two groups can stay overnight (check-in starts at 2:00 p.m.).Day trips are available from 11:00 to 2:00 p.m. Reservations are required for each hour (we can only accept two groups per day), and priority is given to overnight guests. Therefore, there are no day trips on days when there are consecutive overnight guests. Also, since reservations are required, there is a high possibility that you will be turned away even if you show up without a reservation. Advance reservations and phone confirmation are required!As a general rule, you will be given a room on the second floor for accommodation, but if you have weak legs, or if you mainly use hot springs and would prefer to be closer to the bathhouse, then you may be given a room on the first floor near the bathhouse (I think you will be satisfied here as well). ).The bath is on the basement floor. A style in which the former spa has been renovated (there are no showers or baths) and is provided to one group.The exterior and the bathhouse have an irresistible retro feel.If only one group stays, you can have exclusive access from beginning to end (even for a day trip, the reserved hour is exclusive)Although it is a simple hot spring that is lukewarm, the quality of the spring water is quite high (to a level that you would not think it is a simple hot spring). The water is lukewarm, so you can take a long bath, making it perfect for getting out of the heat.On the other hand, in winter there is a lot of snow and the hallways are freezing cold. It's a lukewarm hot spring, so you'll need to be prepared to wear warm clothes (you should be told when it's likely to be cold when you call to make a reservation).The meals are delicious, using local ingredients and carefully seasoned with gentle seasoning. The tomato sukiyaki is especially popular. It makes me feel really full. For sake lovers, there are sometimes popular Hiroki brands, as well as other Fukushima sakes.Kenshiro, the cute idol dog, will be there to greet you when you enter and leave the building.If we were the only guests staying in the room, we would have the private bath and it would be quiet, so we could enjoy it for only 23,000 yen. Next time I want to stay overnight.

Due to the temperature of the source, it is best to call before visiting the hot springs for a day trip.It seems to be run by a kind couple, and only two groups stay overnight.The temperature of the hot spring source has dropped and it is necessary to boil it, and the bathtub is not very large, so the number of people is limited.A dachshund greeted us at the entrance, and we were soothed by the countryside scenery.There are 3 bathtubs, and the temperature of the bathtubs with boiling water is below 40℃, which was very refreshing on a hot day.The spring water we received after taking a bath was delicious.

Great bath, great view

The personality of the husband and wife is GOOD!! ️The food was also better than I expected 👍️

I happened to visit last year and couldn't take a day trip to the bath because of the reservation system, but when I happened to visit this time, there was a person staying there and they were ready to take a bath, so thankfully I was able to take a day trip to the bath. .This is a one-of-a-kind hot spring facility with a beautiful building, bathrooms, and hot spring quality.Because the source temperature is low,You have to be aware of this before taking a bath, but once you soak in a bathtub that is almost the same as your body temperature, you will never be able to get out.It is extremely comfortable.I sincerely hope that this hot spring will continue to exist forever.Thank you very much, husband and landlady.

I took a day trip to the hot springs with my kids. It was a little warm, but the landlady was kind and asked if it was her grandchild. A relative's child lent us a floating ring and the child happily took a long bath.The inside and outside of the inn was very nice.

Comments from day trip bathing. Reservations must be made in advance by phone, 1,600 yen per hour (per person).When you look at the photo, it looks like a dilapidated building, but when you get there, you will find that the inn has been repaired and renovated in key areas, and although it is patchy, it is both old and new.There are two types of baths: non-heated baths (wider) and heated baths (narrower), with water gushing out from the bottom.Even the heated baths are slimy, and the non-heated ones are quite cold. I barely made it in May. However, it is paradise for people who like this kind of hot water.Since it is reserved for private use, you can of course relax, and even though it is an indoor bath, the scenery you can see beyond the glass window is a picture-perfect Japanese countryside landscape.The staff at the inn were a bit busy when I called, but when I actually visited, I found them to be very friendly and responsive, and even though it was a small hot spring inn deep in the mountains, they managed it in a way that made sense. I was very impressed with the atmosphere. The rumored signboard dog is also cute.As for staying overnight, I didn't think it would fit my personal taste of wanting to be close to the people at the hostel like I would at a hotel, but I still thought it would be a good idea to stay overnight.

I visited here for a day trip. The bath room is private so you need a reservation before hand. The facilities are reformed and very clean. The water is 100% natural hot spring without circulation. There are three partially separated bath pools. Lukewarm, indoor swimming pool like cold and intermediate. The water is greenish clear with brown floating sediments. The water smells iron and citrus fruits. Overall, hidden gem and recommend for onsen lovers only.

It was very relaxing! The food was delicious and made with local ingredients!
