It's an old guesthouse that has been renovated, so I felt comfortable staying there. I went during the cherry blossom season, and it was cold in the mornings and evenings, so I was happy to have a kotatsu. From the window of my room, I could see the house across the street, and I could hear the voices of children, the laundry in the garden, the big cherry blossoms, and the warblers, making it feel like I was visiting my grandmother's house in the countryside, and it was very relaxing. The futon is a fluffy duvet with a fleece cover, giving it a grandma's feel. There is a key in your room. There is no toilet or bath in the room, but the shared toilet and bath are clean. You can easily hear the sound of walking in the hallway, so please walk solo. Yukata/haori (old-fashioned), toothbrush, bath towel, face towel, hair dryer, bath shampoo/conditioner, body soap, refrigerator, electric kettle The bath is privately reserved 24 hours a day, and the water is hot, but the water temperature can be adjusted. There are two showers. One was broken. Even though it is Totsukawa Onsen, the quality of the spring water is different from Kamiyu Onsen. It's a simple sulfur spring with a pH of 8.9, so your skin will feel silky smooth. Beautiful colorless and transparent. I took a bath 3 times lol Botan hotpot served with Nakamuraya's homemade 7 year old miso. Salt-grilled amago. Cod sprouts with sesame dressing. I am full.Alcohol is only the size of a bottle of beer.Breakfast is salad, tamagoyaki, candied amago, miso soup with large nameko mushrooms, seasoned seaweed, and mustard greens.I didn't ask if there was Wi-Fi. Was it there?If you eat Botan nabe during the cherry blossom season and it's at this price, you'll be satisfied!
