The hot springs are very pleasant and I think the cost performance is the best among the rooms with open-air baths I've been to so far!Definitely a repeat purchase!

A very nice inn that I have visited many times. The atmosphere of the building is retro and the best, and the hot springs are so slippery that they are said to be beautiful women's hot springs.I've conquered all the rooms with open-air baths, but being able to use them anytime is the ultimate luxury!The large public bath is also quite good, so you will be satisfied even in a room without one.The food is great, but I usually stay overnight without meals and go to a nearby hormone shop lolThis is the place where you can enjoy the best trip to Chichibu.

I used the bath for a day trip, and the hot water was as good as the reputation ♨It's a historic facility with a nice atmosphere.The bath itself was not large, but there was an open-air bath so I was able to take a relaxing bath. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, face wash (for shaving), soap, etc. were provided, and I liked the scent. Your skin will be smooth after bathing! As everyone has written, I could feel the quality of the spring water.There was a nice smell of cooking inside the main building, and next time I would like to enjoy the hot springs with accommodation and food included.*The road to the facility is narrow, so please be careful if you are not confident in driving...

Araki mineral springThis is a hot spring from a long-established inn that has been in business since the Edo period.You can stop by and use the hot springs, but please consider that priority will be given to guests staying at the hotel.It is said to be a colorless and transparent sulfur-cold mineral spring that is heated.The water is heavy and the PH is unknown, but I think it is a hot spring for beautiful skin.It has a soft and squishy feel.Indoor bath: Junior high school 1, Outdoor elementary school 2, Sauna available (for 2 people)Holiday ownership (small) Amenities includedFamily private bath available for extra chargeNo restaurant (because it is an inn)Usage: 2 hours 1,000 yen until 9:00 pm (ends at 8:00 pm *900 yen on weekdays)The changing room is a basket because it's an inn.There are lockers outside the bathroom.Paid for 100 yentrafficIt's just one street awayThe road to the entrance is quite narrow.There is a signboard along the street, and if you enter the path of the signboard, it is quite narrow, so I think it would be better to come from the one for large vehicles that is a little further ahead (it is also quite narrow, but...)It has the feel of a long-established inn.I was a little worried that there were a lot of steps and that the changing room was quite small.The landlady was kind and made me feel at ease.I thought I would like to use it for an overnight stay someday.

I used it for a day trip the other day. However, I was surprised when I entered. A person with fine carvings on his back was taking a bath. I was scared because I was with my child so I went up immediately. There's no sign at the entrance that says no, so it may be implicit, but I don't think I'll go there again. It's a shame because the hot spring itself has a nice atmosphere and the quality of the spring water seems to be good.
