This was my first visit to the day trip hot spring after it was renovated!When you check in at the old building, you will be given a wristband. You can enter the new facility by swiping an IC chip on your wristband.There are regular hot springs, saunas, hot spring baths, and low-temperature water baths indoors, and outside there are open-air baths, hot spring baths, and sleeping baths, so I had a relaxing time. The smell of sulfur was so strong that I felt like I was in a hot spring. (However, it was a little disappointing that the river view was not visible.)Also, the number of lockers in the changing room has increased and it is larger than before. There were 6 hair dryers, one of which was a Refa hair dryer.

A wonderful hot spring facility located in a quiet location overlooking the mountains and river.Hozanen in Yuno Onsen, Yamaguchi Prefecture serves fresh fish and other delicious dishes that you won't be able to finish.We also recommend a day trip to the hot springs with a coffee and dessert break.I am one of Hozanen's fans who fell in love with the KRY Yamaguchi Broadcasting OG proprietress and her kind husband's personality and enjoyed the hot springs and meals.Thank you for your continued support.

The new public bath is amazing. I love it so much that I went there four times in September. I heard that the men's and women's baths will be switched after the grand opening, but when is the plan? I would also like to try out Autorolly. We would also be happy if you would consider adding more chairs to the open-air space.

Good sauna 😋There are two saunas, a far infrared dry sauna. There are two levels, and the top position is about 75 degrees. I don't need a TV. The other is a sauna that can be reserved for private use. Even though it's reserved, anyone can use it as long as you're there. The temperature is around 92 degrees. The water is tap water. I like that it doesn't give off any weird aroma. The water bath is shoulder deep. Probably without a chiller. So it's still lukewarm at this time. Since this is a newly built facility, I would have liked to see a chiller installed. I wish they would have investigated sauna-san's requests. There are two Colemans on the balcony wood deck. There are two benches and two chairs. The following is a request to Mr. Hozanen.1 Coleman, we don't have enough chairs, so I'd like at least two more for each. Also, be sure to put your feet on the chair.2 I would like to have an eaves on my deck to protect from the sun and rain.3 The space between the main house and the bathhouse is outside, so a roof and walls are needed to protect it from rain. It's probably under constructionThe price is 1100 yen, but I think there are also nice facilities that are worth the price!

I used the day trip private bath!It was open and I was able to use it right away!There is an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and the open-air bath was a little lukewarm, I think it depends on the season!However, it was good because I could take a long bath!I will use it again!

Use for day tripThe open-air bath is along the river, so you can hear the sound of the river flowing. There are two open-air baths. A hot spring bath for one person and a bathtub approximately 3m wide.The indoor bath is a 4m wide bathtub with a cold spring source and a jet.Although the structure is old, the large natural stone floor is magnificent.

I often stop by and take advantage of the hot springs when I go to Hofu or the Shunan area, and when I went there for the first time in a while, I was surprised to find that the baths had been renovated.Even though it's new, it still maintains the good qualities such as the high quality of the springs and the not-too-cold water bath, and there's also a sauna, so I was able to relax.However, I was a little surprised at the extent of the price increase.Considering the contents and the market price of hot springs in Yamaguchi Prefecture, it can't be helped, but it costs just under 4,000 yen for a family of four (including one child on holiday). But I will use it again.

Following Shisuien on the side, I visited the hot springs for a day trip.Shisuien was very nice, but Hozanen was simply the best. I think the open-air bath, the slightly lower temperature of the sauna, and the not-too-cold water bath were a perfect fit for me and my wife.Would you mind letting me stay here for the night? It was so good that I consulted with him. I would like to visit again in the near future and enjoy the kamameshi and sake slowly.However, there were quite a few customers with tattoos. There were about 4 people who weren't crazy. The store staff member asked one person to leave the store in a disrespectful manner. I didn't leave just by replying.This was not Hozanen's fault, but it was a fact that it caused noise.Anyway, thank you for the wonderful time!
