It was a very nice old-fashioned inn. The room I stayed in was very spacious. I guess it was often used by climbers and ascetics. It was cool at night and there was no air conditioning, just a fan. The salt-grilled sweetfish was delicious.The lights at Dorogawa Onsen at night were beautiful.

I went during the winter season. I was able to make a reservation for a single room with breakfast included, and the heating and kotatsu were very nice. The hot spring bath was also available for private use, so it was very luxurious. He was concerned about the transportation to Amakawa Benzaiten and contacted me many times. I was able to spend a relaxing time at this historical inn run by a married couple that was very well maintained and clean!

Thank you very much for your help in the past. I would like to inform you that I recently posted my self-composed song ``Late Autumn Hot Spring Inn'' on Tube. It's still a beginner's song, but I'd be happy if you could listen to it!

Used for cycling.Perhaps it was the off-season, so I was the only customer.The structure of the inn was somewhat disappointing. The toilet is made of frosted glass so you can almost see inside, and the bathroom is too homely.The meal was so palatable that I could make up for it!The hot water in the bath was very good. It wasn't a problem since I was the only customer, but the system was such that each group could reserve the place for themselves.
