Good points: High cost performanceBad points: There is no explanation for everything (they will tell you if you ask, so it is worth the price)They happily accommodated my sudden reservation on the same day.About 15,000 yen per night.◾️MealsThis price is more than enough for dinner in your room. The rice is delicious.Although the fried food was a little cold, I could feel that they had worked hard to keep it warm to the limit. There are no problems with the price.I'm glad the dessert is fruit instead of some strange frozen cake.The breakfast was also very delicious with rice, salmon, fruit, and pickles.◾️ServiceThe land is working. Perhaps it's because of this Showa era feel, but I wouldn't recommend staying there to anyone who can't handle simple customer service. There's no explanation for everything, but if you ask, they'll explain it to you in detail, so there's no problem.◾️Hot springI took all the baths, but I didn't meet anyone and it was very comfortable. The view from the open air is pretty good. There is a partition to separate hot and lukewarm water.There is a cave bath, a cypress bath, and an indoor bath with a view, but there is no explanation about their existence or how to enter. It is written in the facility facility guide, so be sure to check it.Also, there are no showers in the open-air or cave baths. (The part I most wanted to be explained in advance)And the water is hot because it flows directly from the source! However, it can be adjusted with water.It is within the range of fluctuation for the price.There are many baths, and the quality of the spring water is good and interesting.◾️Room/Facilitiesold. There is no refrigerator in the room.However, the room was clean and had a nice view, so I can't really complain about the price.Broken slot in the building? It's interesting because it's not familiar to me.It's perfect when you want a light luxury.Will visit again.

It was a sea hot spring with a hot spring temperature of 52 degrees Celsius, and the hotel was in the Showa era, but the view from the open-air bath was amazing.It was a room meal! You can eat breakfast in your room, but I ate it on the 1st floor♨️

If I didn't have the navigation on my smartphone, I wouldn't have gotten there...? That's the place (sigh). The view overlooking the Yatsushiro Sea is spectacular, and it was said to be very crowded during the summer and Obon holidays. The staff were also very personable and polite. There are a wide variety of hot springs, and the open-air bath while watching the dawn was wonderful. Usually, I don't have much to eat even though I want to eat it, but it was so delicious that I was able to eat it all for dinner and breakfast. There are no ready-made products used, and everything is handmade. I wasn't able to visit all the hot springs this time, so next time I'd like to go to the ones I wasn't able to bathe in this time. This is a wonderful inn that will warm your heart and body. thank you very much.

I was surprised when I was told that credit cards were not accepted.Other than that, we informed them in advance that the meal time would be late due to a nearby sunset cruise, and they accommodated us. The rooftop open-air bath was the best in the morning.During the Obon period in August, the cost for one night including dinner and breakfast was approximately 15,000 yen.

I stayed here about six months ago and used it. The food was satisfying with lots of fresh seafood, and the hot springs were perfect, so I would have given it a 5 star, but the kitchen downstairs? I could hear the yelling of what I thought was a male employee, which made me uncomfortable.It was a shame because I had stayed there a few years ago and had a good impression at that time.I work in the service industry myself, and I don't think it's okay to yell so loud that it can be heard in the guest rooms.It may have been a coincidence, but I always wonder if this is the case.

It is divided into several compartments.In the middle of summer, it's so hot in the open air that I don't go there at all.I only used the indoor bath.The water was slipperyI found a place that gives towels for the first time in Japan.I have to come back in winter ㅜㅜ
