2024.9.25On the way back from Odaigahara, the hotel had a hot spring ♨️ so I used it.The hot springs are alkaline and make your skin smooth, which is really nice.After taking a bath, I was able to relax and drink ice cream and coffee while looking at the river.There is a hot spring on the second floor, and there is a rest area where you can relax with a massage machine and a sofa 🛋️.There were plenty of discounts for people with disabilities, JAF discounts, and village discounts.Next time, I would like to stay at a hotel.Overall the hotel was new and clean.We are 100% repeat customers who will use our service again in the fall.

The room is clean and well kept. In the mountains, along the national highway, it was quiet at night and I was able to sleep soundly.The food is also very satisfying. The negative point is that the quantity is small (lol)

Anyway, the water and food were delicious.I was impressed because I had no idea that I could drink the water that comes out of the tap. The room was impeccably clean, spacious and very comfortable. The night I stayed, it was raining so hard that the entire room lost power, but the staff took good care of me and I was able to spend my time with peace of mind. I would also like to go and eat some delicious food. The hot spring water was very nice and made my skin smooth.

It was very quiet.There is a laundry on the first floor, with two dryers and two washing machines, which I used while taking a hot spring bath.

beautiful.The food is also delicious.It's a little disappointing that all the ornamental plants in the hotel are artificial. (Because I like houseplants)The dessert for dinner was bland.

The room is also very spacious and clean. It was now possible to install bicycles on the wall for cyclists. I could see the clear river from my room.Anyway, the hot springs were very creamy and were as good as Ureshino Onsen (is that a bit of an exaggeration?) and Tawarayama Onsen.Staying overnight after climbing nearby will help you recover from your fatigue.

This is a mountain inn where the hot springs and food were very good.The cleaning of the room and the building is also very clean.Customer service was handled with a smile from beginning to end.What was especially noteworthy was that the tap water was spring water and very delicious!The river in front of the inn was so clean that it washed my soul.

The room is really spacious and clean. The water is delicious too, so I would like you to try it. It's located deep in the mountains, so you don't have to worry about the hustle and bustle, but if you're staying overnight without meals, it's a good idea to buy some food at a roadside station along the way.

Anyway, hot springs are the best. The smooth hot water will gently soothe your tired body from climbing and traveling.

The number of clean, beautiful and stylish hotels that have been increasing in recent years.Once you get used to it, I think many people will only be able to stay at a hotel like that.I'm worried about staying at an inn in the countryside...However, this place is on par with any stylish hotel in the city, or even worse.The size, cleanliness, view, hot springs, customer service, food, price...it's amazing.Is it okay to be this nice?There are hot springs available for day trips, but guests are always given priority.What impressed me most was that I could drink the tap water as is.And delicious. It tastes better than the mineral water around here.I always bought mineral water at hotels.Here you can drink as much delicious water as you like.The delicious water in the hot springs made me feel smooth, and the pure water from Kamikita Village kept me clean from inside to outside.I would like to stay here once a month.Thank you, Forest Kamikita.

2023.10 revisited.Day trip baths are available.With the closure of the public hot spring Kamikitayama Onsen Yakushi-yu, you can now take a day trip bath here.The price is 700 yen, with a 100 yen discount from JAF.The site of the old facility is currently the parking lot for our facility.However, you can enter the parking lot from the side of the hotel, but it is narrow (the traffic lights are gone).You may be able to park in the parking lot next to the national highway.The bridge used to cross to the old hot spring facility can be used as is. The quality of the hot springs is the same as before, and it's a nice hot spring with a nice slippery feel (the source seems to be the same).The inside is a splendid bath, like a hotel bath.The desolate feeling of the past is gone, so I feel a little lonely.

That's excellent. Customer service too! Dinner and breakfast too! Large room. To be honest, you can't see out of the open-air bath.

It seems that it was renovated three years ago and the interior is very clean.●Room: Spacious with twin beds, refrigerator and microwave. (Enough space for 3 people including an extra bed)It also comes with a bicycle rack, which is great for cyclists.●Bath: The hot spring water leaves your skin smooth and smooth. It's spacious and beautiful. (Unfortunately there is no sauna)You can also take a day trip bath.●Meals: Seated at a table in a restaurant. The menu is pretty standard, but it was delicious.●Amenities: Yukata, toothbrushes, towels, slippers, and more.As a woman, I was disappointed that there was no lotion or facial cleansing foam.●Others: The staff are very polite. The cleaning was thorough and I had a comfortable stay.Electric assist bicycles are available for rent (for a fee), and I rented them on the day of check-out and rode along the river.
