I looked for a place to stay at Ryujin Onsen, which I knew from Tsumura's bath salts and had always wanted to visit.If you go from the Nara direction, the Ryujin Koyasan Skyline has a steep winding road and is difficult to navigate, but the overall atmosphere of Ryujin Onsen was nice as a secluded hot spring. It's not a hot spring that attracts many tourists, so there are some inns that have gone out of business, so it can have a lonely atmosphere, but there is a clear stream and the old-fashioned atmosphere remains, so it has a good atmosphere.The rooms at this inn are minimal, with no small terrestrial television, Wi-Fi service, or water bottles.There were only a few rooms and the baths were small, with only enough washing space for three people, but by adjusting the hours, they were able to be used privately. The hot water in the bathtub is added water and is not constantly flowing.The only disappointing thing was the breakfast.There was a slight misunderstanding and the menu being served was on the wrong table, so when I told her about it, the woman who brought the food to me was clearly annoyed. He clearly looked disgusted, so I tried to respond by changing my seat, but he didn't say anything and went back without saying a word. The food was served on a large tray, so if you were quick enough you could easily replace it, but the attitude was very unpleasant, as if that option was not available.On the way home, I said, ``Thank you for the meal,'' but he didn't even comment on the unpleasant treatment I had received earlier, and was treated with abandon, as if he didn't really care.I was taken aback by the response. Have we forgotten the word hospitality? There are many inns that offer hospitality even if they are deserted.As a result, although the inn claims to be a culinary inn, there is a question mark as to whether the food is that good. If they are selling food, I would like them to at least offer hospitality when cooking.Will not be visiting again.

Before your arrival, the host will take the trouble toWe received a notice of road closure.I had a good impression at this point.Even after arriving at the hotel, I didn't know.With excellent customer service that never leaves youI am very satisfied with the food and feel full. lolThe photo is for 2 people. Even two men are many.No, it was really quite a volume. lolThe cost performance is already buggy.After check outI forgot somethingEven when I went to pick it upThe wife said, ``I'm sorry I didn't notice it sooner.''Thank you for adding a comment despite my clumsiness.It was like a mirror to the hospitality industry.Also,I definitely want to use it! ! It was so great.Because there is no elevatorIf you are using reviews as a reference, please be careful! !Honestly, even if it becomes too popular, you won't be able to get a reservation.That's a problem...lol

Before staying the night, I called the host and asked him about the road conditions.I received a really pleasant response, and I was looking forward to seeing the same inn, and it was just as I expected.The small inn is quiet and you can see the Hidaka River valley from your room.The food is very delicious and includes luxurious sweetfish with roe and Kumano beef.I emptied the bowl for breakfast.There are no open-air baths, but I was able to take a relaxing bath by myself, probably because there were restrictions on the number of customers. The smooth hot springs make you want to stay in the bath forever.The area around the inn also has an atmosphere that makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time.This inn is run by a very friendly and lovely couple. The history is so deep that the owner doesn't know which generation of hosts he is.I would like to hear some very interesting stories from you at this page.If you have a chance to talk to your husband, please ask for his name.I'm shocked.I was from Hokkaido, but I'd like to visit you again someday.

Checked-in Feb 16 2024 to enjoy "WILD BOAR Nabe (hot pot cooking)(generally called Botan=Peony Nabe)." Taste is superb or best in my life, not able to experience in other restaurants. Red meat is great and white fat part is completely different from those of beef. Other seasonal cuisine is heard as great. Cuisine is matched with the name of this inn "Auberge Yorozuya." The guest room, in house common use bath (Ryujin Onsen Spa) is not big nor gorgeous. Basically no credit card, parking lot available, children not accepted.

In the year of the dragonI searched for places related to dragons and went there.Wakayama is famous for its Katsuura and Shirahama areas, but if you want a hidden hot spring experience, we recommend Ryujin Onsen.It's an old and small hot spring, but the hot water is said to be the third generation beauty hot spring, and it's smooth and smooth, making it very pleasant.I highly recommend it.The food was delicious considering the low price, and the main Kumano beef was also very delicious.It was also great that we could eat dinner in our room.Also, I think this is important because it is a small inn, but the male staff who served us were very nice.It was an inn that left me with a better impression and made me want to come back again.

I visited Ryujin Onsen for the first time.It is a very beautiful place deep in the mountains.Of course, please note that there are no convenience stores.The building is old and there is no elevator. The bathroom was underground, so it was quite a pain to stay in a room on the third floor.It says that you can see the river from your room, but I wonder if you can see it...I think it would be better to change the wording a little more.The food was delicious, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was impressive.Maybe my expectations were a little too high.I had a relaxing breakfast while looking out at the Hidaka River.The hot springs felt very nice.

We drove all the way through a truly unexplored region not found in the Kanto region, passing by places with clean water and deep mountains where you would think a wild boar might come running at any moment.A young landlady welcomed us.I think you and your husband are doing it together.The inn itself is not new. I thought the cover for the full-length mirror was handmade.The room and dinner room are separate and private rooms. I was thrilled to be able to eat a wild vegetable called itadori.The bath is not that bigThe temperature is very pleasant and you can see the mountains.For breakfast, there is a dining room in a different location.I was able to eat local food and have a great time.
