There is no excessive service, just the minimum necessary service, and it is cozy and perfect for those who have had a good trip! The food is also like when you suddenly returned to your parents' home in the countryside, and although it is not fancy, it is delicious and filled with love. . In today's world, it costs just ¥6,000 per night, which is very appreciated. The nearest ryokan to Kanto's famous hot spring, Shika-no-yu.You can use the bath as much as you like from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. by borrowing the key to the private bath of the nearby hot spring management association. Of course, the hot springs are of the highest quality, flowing straight from the source! It's quiet and nice and exclusive to guests staying in this hot spring town! Although it's an old inn, it's an important place where you can enjoy some relaxing time with the quiet and kind owner working hard on his own.

I used it the night before climbing Mt. Nasu. There was no bath in the building, so I went to the nearby public bath. It seemed like it was run as a one-off operation, so it didn't feel like every corner was thoroughly cleaned, so I don't think I can recommend this accommodation to people who like cleanliness. It was cheap at 6,000 yen for one night and two meals, and the food was delicious, so it was a good value for money accommodation for me.

This is a ryokan that I hope will continue to do its best.There were some concerns about hygiene, etc., but 6000 yen for one night and two meals is cheap!For bathing, use the nearby Shika-no-Yu (charges apply) and Takino-Yu (limited to locals and private lodging guests). This was also the best hot water!This is a city with wonderful hot springs, so I hope the minshuku owners will continue to do their best. I want to come again for hot spring treatment.

I felt really bad about hygiene.The teacup in the room didn't seem to have been washed, so I didn't use it. There was water in the pot that I don't know how long it had been in.I took out the futon from the closet and laid it out myself, but there was a sheet stuck in it, so when I put it down, it smelled...Just to be sure, I checked with the host, and he told me that the sheets were in the hallway (in the room). (I didn't have it in front of me), but when I unfolded it, I found hair and dust stuck in it, and blood stains? I checked a few of them and used ones that looked like they were usable, but they were not very pleasant. I was suffering from a house dust allergy.There are no tissues, towels, or amenities in the room.The food was average, but the food I made myself was way more delicious. The sashimi tasted fishy so I left it behind.I don't care at all that the inn is old or that the walls and sliding doors in the rooms are outdated. However, since you are taking money to accommodate guests, I would like you to be careful about hygiene as a minimum service.The location was great as it was close to the hot springs, but I was depressed about returning to the hotel.sorry.

R7. July 1 night 2 meals 5800 yen consecutive holidays, solo travelThe location was very good, right in front of Shika-no-Yu and about 1 minute from Taki-no-Yu. Sulfur pumping from near the innIt's also close to Sesshoseki and Onsen Shrine!It was an inn, but to be honest, the musty smell was really bad. Also, sometimes I can't watch the TV, probably because the antenna isn't working.Although the refrigerator was shared, there was a Western-style toilet and washroom, but the cleaning...However, I am satisfied with the price, which includes meals and unlimited access to the hot springs.The food was so delicious that I couldn't finish it all.We took the opportunity to arrange them on the table!I don't think it's suitable for women or cleanliness.

《March 2024》I stayed here around mid-March 2024.Based on the reviews on Google Maps, I was intrigued by the delicious-looking food, so I called them directly and made a reservation (there seemed to be no official website or internet reservations, only phone reservations).There were about 3 groups of guests including ourselves.The owner seemed to be working alone, so depending on the availability of other guests and the time of day, I thought it would be difficult to respond by phone or during the stay.I was able to borrow the key and geta for Takinoyu (5:00-23:00)Taki no Yu is a public bath that can only be used by local residents and some guests.There are no showers, but shampoo and body soap are not allowed.It was also convenient as it was the closest inn to Shika-no-Yu (8:00-last reception 17:30, 500 yen) and Sesshoseki/Nasu Onsen Shrine.Face towel, yukata, toothbrush, hair dryer, guest room keyThe above items were not in the room, but you could borrow them if you asked the owner.→It is better to prepare your own bath towels, pajamas during the cold season, hair dryer, shampoo, cleansing and other skin care sets, shaving etc. I think it's good)I was also able to use the refrigerator and microwave in the common space.There were two shared toilets and sinks.It's cold in winter because it only has cold water.The toilet faucet had turned black due to the sulfidation effect of sulfur components.Electrical appliances such as hair dryers are also susceptible to deterioration and corrosion due to sulfur content.I was very happy to be able to take a bath in a hot spring with such a strong sulfur content.There was a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide even on the bus and in the cabin.You are responsible for raising and lowering the futon yourself.The mattress sheets, pillowcases, and comforter were clean.The kotatsu and fan-shaped halogen heaters were very warm.I thought the electricity bill would be high in the winter.I didn't use the kerosene stove because I didn't know how to ignite it with a match (I think it would be a good idea to ask the owner)There was no air conditioning and Wi-FiThe owner was very kind from the time I made the reservation over the phone to the time I stayed.The food was also very delicious as expected.As mentioned in other reviews before, I was surprised at how thick and plentiful the sashimi was and how luxurious it was.All side dishes were delicious.The rice and miso soup in the bowl were especially delicious.I was able to take it out of my room and relax.Dinner time seemed to be 17:30 or 18:00.Our breakfast was around 7:40 (not sure if the time can be changed)I was very sad because I left a lot of rice in the bowl.I should have asked for a small amount of rice in advance.I am very sorry.There were several guesthouses in Nasu Yumoto Onsen Town, but some of them had few reviews on their official website, online reservations, or online, so I felt it was difficult to get the latest information, so I thought it would be a good idea to call them directly to confirm. MasuIt was a wonderful stay at Nasu Yumoto Onsen.Thank you very much for your help during this time._*I was a little concerned about this*The exceptional price of 5,800 yen for one night with two meals, the friendliness of the owner, the ability to use Taki-no-Yu, which is a communal bath for local residents, the cost of electricity and kerosene for heating equipment, and the location. When I think about it, it's hard to say anything that bothered me, even if it was just a little bit, but since there might be some people who don't like it, I'll mention it (maybe I'm just not used to long-established guesthouses). yeah)・There was garbage (peanuts, etc.) that the previous guest had put in the trash can.・There was about 5 cm of water in the kettle that the previous guest had put in it.・There were multiple pieces of dust, small dirt, hair, etc. on the floor, so it may be difficult for people with allergies.・It's not the inn's fault, but there were multiple insects in the guest room even during the cold season, so there may be more insects in the summer.Maybe it just happened this timeThe delicious food, the kindness of the owner, the opportunity to use Taki-no-Yu, a public bath for local residents, and the great location, so considering the accommodation fee, which includes the cost of using the heating equipment, , I don't think you should ask for too much.I hope that my experience will be of some help to some of you._I took a bus from the west exit of JR Kuroiso Station to Nasu Yumoto Onsen (bus stop).If you are using public transportation, I think it is a good idea to check the timetable in advance and ask for breakfast time.

I would never have dreamed that I would be able to eat such a rich amount of sashimi at an inn in the mountains, and the amount was so much that I couldn't finish it all. It's close to Shika-no-Yu, and what's more, guests are free to soak in Taki-no-Yu as much as they like. The futon is soft and warm. Has the atmosphere of a hidden hot spring inn
