I came here for the first time because of the high reviews.The quality of the spring water is so slippery and warm that you wouldn't think it's a circulating mineral spring! ! There are several slippery hot springs in the prefecture, but this is definitely the number one slippery hot spring! ! !

I used it for the first time on a two-night, three-day fishing trip in late July. There is no bus service from the nearest station, Arato Station, so it costs about 2,500 yen to take the Shirataka taxi in front of the station. This is a quaint inn along the Mibuchi River, and there is only one liquor store in the village. It looks like it will close soon as well. The accommodation only serves bottled beer, so if you want to casually drink canned beer, it's safer to bring your own. For lunch, you can order delivery from a restaurant near the station. In summer, we recommend cold ramen. Well, the bath was the size that two or three people could fit in, and at this time it was quite hot, and the hot water was as slippery and slippery as rumored. It becomes a habit because there is nothing else like it. In addition, if you like it lukewarm, you can adjust it if you let us know in advance. Dinner is quite voluminous for the price, and comes with about seven side dishes. What was particularly noteworthy was that while I was drinking beer, the landlady appeared with a bottle of Japanese sake and told me to drink as much as I wanted as it was a service. This was my first experience like this, and I'm not a hater, so I enjoyed it a lot! It's hard to believe that this is 7,150 yen including two meals. It can be said to be a heavenly inn for drinkers. However, since the inn is run by an elderly proprietress by herself, it is impossible to keep the whole place clean and shiny. You need to have the courage to ignore some dirt, dust, and spider webs. Not recommended for people with hygiene issues. This is the kind of inn that you want to stay at for as long as the proprietress' health lasts, even if it's only for a year. You can fish for yamame trout and char right in front of the Mibuchi River.

It was 400 yen for a day trip bath.There are two toilets and one shower.There was shampoo conditioner bar soap in the bathroom.The hot water is soft and makes your body feel smooth and slippery.The entrance road is along the river, so please be careful when driving large vehicles.It's a hot spring that I'm glad I went to.It seems that you can also stay overnight.

Around 12:00 on a Saturday during the April holidays, I called Arakaji and received a day bath. I was riding a bike, so it was easy to get there.Auntie, you're doing it all by yourself.The bath is reserved for private use.It's wakashiyu, but it's hot (they say it's possible to have it lukewarm if you ask in advance)The hot water is not only highly alkaline and slippery, but also has something clinging to it. It was interesting and I was able to rent it out for over 30 minutes going up and down.I'm sorry for making you angry even though you were alone.It's a must-see for those in the know. I want you to stay in a hot spring.

This is a hot spring that looks like a private house, located in the depths of Ayukai in Shirataka, in the mountains where the radio waves are weak.The fee is 400 yen, and there is only one bathroom with boiling water, so it would be a good idea to call before visiting to confirm.The inside of the bathroom is beautiful! That's not to say, but it didn't bother me at all, probably because it was midsummer, so it was adjusted to be a little lukewarm. I visited this time based on other people's slimy reviews, but when I took a bath, I was surprised to find that it was really slippery. The smooth texture was interesting and made me want to stay in it forever. It feels refreshing and chewy after taking a bath. It was a very hot day, but I thought it was a very interesting hot spring without any unpleasant heat. Please come!As a side note, the river flowing next to it was very beautiful. Is there a place I can get off?

This is slimy alkaline mineral boiling water.Although it is not unparalleled, it has a top-class alkalinity. Naturally, it is a continuous stream without chlorine. It was pretty hot since it had just opened.
