Visited on 2024/07/14Today I visited for a day trip to the hot springs and lunch.It was Sunday afternoon, but the bath was empty and reserved for private use.There were two indoor baths and one small open-air bath. The bathing fee is 500 yen.Shampoo, body soap, and hair dryer are also not available.I only rented a bath towel, but it cost 200 yen. The temperature today was around 23 degrees Celsius, but perhaps it was the effect of the hot springs, and I didn't sweat from the moment I got out of the bath, so the bath towel was useful until I got home (lol).The hot water was clear and very clean.The open-air bath has a fence so you can't see much of the view, but listening to the sound of the river while taking a bath is soothing.The washroom was also clean and nice.I had the katsudon for lunch, and although it was salty and soupy, I ate it with a non-alcoholic beer after taking a bath, so it was just right.The portion was a little on the small side, and since I'm an old man, I was satisfied with it, but I think younger people might be happy with the plus zaru soba.It was a hot spring that was perfect for being called a back parlor. I really liked it, so I would like to visit it every season.This is an inn that you want to stay forever!2024/9/23 revisitToday I came to the hot springs and lunch on my bike again.I was surprised to see 5 people in the bath today (rude) ^⁠_⁠^After taking a bath, I had a relaxing time listening to the sound of the river while drinking non-alcoholic beer.The chashu noodles I had for lunch were delicious.It had a lot of vegetables and was very filling.Is it the soil that contains the mushrooms? I'm happy.I would like to come again during the autumn leaves season.

I used it on a bicycle trip. Thanks to the very friendly owners and staff, it became a pleasant stopover for a bicycle trip. I was nervous because I had made a mistake on the reservation date, but I am grateful that the landlady was accommodating. We recommend this accommodation as it is full of human touch.

Stayed with 2 adults during the Obon period.It's a cozy and cozy inn with 10 rooms.Above all, the sound of the river is soothing! ︎I had Genghis Khan for dinner, and it was more delicious than other Genghis Khan specialty restaurants, and the portion was bigger! ︎The bath is small.It was a homely and soothing place.

Oku-Toyako Onsenkyo YujinyaThis is a hot spring inn where you can stay overnight. It is divided into an open-air bath and an indoor bath, and it is possible to use it for a day trip. It is in an area that is difficult to access except by car, but the inn seems to be popular.I passed by a large number of customers. The hot water was clear and used as a continuous stream.

Day trip bath 500 yen. It's small, but after entering, my skin felt shiny. The hot water flows directly from the source.
