The building is certainly old and the musty smell is undeniable...but the hot water is nice♪A family of 3 with 2 meals per night. I didn't have high expectations, but the whelk shellfish for dinner was delicious, and the rice in Tohoku was delicious, so I ate a lot of it♬It was a more satisfying stay than I expected.All the employees were very nice and I had a good time there. Thank you for your help (^^)*There will be a fighting event with stink bugs in your room (lol)

Mid-October 2024Stayed for 2 consecutive nights at a hot spring inn.Although it was probably full, it was quiet and relaxing both in the morning and at night.From the evening to around 7pm, the washing area and bathtub were crowded with day trip bathers. It seems to be a popular hot spring in the local area.This is an inn I would like to come back to again.

I think the quality of the hot springs is good, but I was disappointed with the somewhat expensive hot water and air conditioner care after bathing. I think it's a place I'd like to visit again in the fall or winter rather than in the summer.

The hot water is good.There is no air conditioner in the changing room, just a household fan. Therefore, the moisture is not discharged and it becomes a steam bath. Local people are stationed in front of the fan, so if you use a household fan, the wind ends there. It's not good in summer. But it's winter, and the condensation seems to be heavy. I'm starting to worry about the building.The smell of germs in the windshield-like room between the changing room and the bathroom that someone had written about was still strong, so I tiptoed through it.I would like to see a little more cleanliness and comfort.

There are signs on the main road, so it's easy to find.There seems to be an entrance to the accommodation in the back.For day trips, use the front entrance.The parking lot is on the left.The building is old. Pay 400 yen per person and go to the bathhouse in the back. The hallway smells quite musty.However, the changing area is clean. One hair dryer, no water dispenser. There is a locker with a key that costs 100 yen.The partition between the changing room and bathroom also smelled of mold.I wonder if you can't smell it if you're always there?One of the eight bathrooms is out of order. No sauna or open-air bath.There are also amenities.The spring quality is colorless, alkaline hot spring with a slight sulfur smell and slime.The water temperature is about 43 degrees Celsius, which is a little hot at this time of year. Naturally flowing directly from the source.There is no air conditioner, so you won't sweat after taking a bath!The water was nice.
