At Takayu Onsen, there aren't many lodgings where one person can make reservations online, so we chose this hotel. As someone who likes to travel alone, I'm grateful, but honestly the cost performance isn't that great. This can be said about Takayu Onsen as a whole, but while it emphasizes the frugal aspect of a hot springs inn, I get the impression that they take care of the lodging fees. Although the service was only a little apologetic, I was honestly disappointed in the rice bowl (the only thing that appealed to me was the sake lineup). The room was surprisingly clean and the view was great. On the other hand, the hallways in the south building are cheap and have no soundproofing. I wish they could improve the small details, but it's a shame that other inns have been able to attract customers by sitting cross-legged in the hot springs, and the business has become viable. The hot springs were absolutely wonderful, and I was very satisfied, even though the temperature could fluctuate depending on the day because the hot springs flow directly from the source. However, personally, I have a much better impression of Zao, which has similar spring quality, including the service.

The mountain from the open-air bath had not yet changed color. The water temperature is lukewarm, which is my preference. The indoor bath was a bit hot so I couldn't stay in it for long, so I kept going in and out. The spring quality is slippery and has a sulfur smell. Lockers with keys are always available in both the open-air bath and indoor bath. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and hair dryer are provided.I suddenly wanted to go to a hot spring that day, so I went for a drive and looked for a place. An increasing number of day-trip hot springs are closing early or have given up. I was so happy when I finally found it and found out I could put it in.

Hmm. I don't understand why it's rated so high. I wanted to go to Takayu and had other accommodations in mind, but the open-air bath was under renovation, so I stayed at this accommodation.When you first arrive at the inn, you will be greeted by a staircase with quite a number of steps.There is a small elevator next to it, but if you don't notice, you will end up climbing the stairs that ignore the concept of barrier-free.When you enter the entrance, on your left you will see yukatas (sold at places like Homsen) stacked in silver racks according to size. This alone gives me a bad feeling... Eliminate the hassle of preparing a yukata in your room = cost savings. It means omitting service. Most of the hotels I've stayed in this style in the past are cheap hotels around 10,000 yen. The cost of staying here was okay, but...They gave me directions to the hotel, but they didn't tell me where to smoke or where to find a vending machine, just ``The dining area is in the south building next door.I'll show you how to get there when you arrive on time.''When I entered the room alone without being guided, I heard a loud low frequency sound coming from everywhere.Vu~~~n. It keeps ringing. I thought it was the refrigerator, but the refrigerator was not turned on from the beginning. The style is to turn it on yourself and wait for it to cool down. I found out by turning on the refrigerator. I thought it was a noise, but it turned out to be the refrigerator in the next room. It makes the same sound.That's right! The walls of this inn are extremely thin! They're as thin as a certain rental house that became famous for a while in a bad way.So you can clearly hear the conversation in the next room. Please be careful in various ways lolAs for the bath, the open-air bath and the indoor bath are in different places. Is there an explanation on the homepage?There is a sign at the entrance to the open-air bath, indicating that the hot spring is lukewarm due to the long rain. That's what he said. This seems to be because the water is drawn from the source without any heating or circulation. Is it possible for it to get wet because of the rain? When I went to the changing room and tried to take off my yukata, the floor was soaked! I don't know if some people came out without drying themselves, but my newly changed socks were soaked. It's the worst.Wash your body and head to the open-air bath! yeah? Is it a lot bigger than the photo on the homepage? And lukewarm. You can stay in it for as long as you like, but it never gets warm.It's written as a hot spring and read as a tepid spring.Is the indoor bath lukewarm? While thinking this, I changed my clothes (this was a bit of a hassle) and went to the indoor bath, and found that it was nice! It's hot and smells like sulfur, so this is it. I thought to myself as I enjoyed the sulfur springs. Huh? So, is there heating circulation here? Along with the steam from the bath, I also feel fuzzy.Dinner time. I got off the elevator, but there was no guide. I was confused about where the venue was, but a staff member was there so I asked. ``If you get off the elevator in the south building, there will be a guide,'' he said as he ran off. No, no, where is the elevator in the south building? That's what I asked because I wanted to know.As for dinner, hmmm. The sake I ordered separately from the meat was delicious. Other than that... Zunda mochi was served as an appetizer, and even though we were in the mountains, an assortment of sashimi and steamed abalone were served, and only one Western dish was served.The voices of the foreign staff were very loud.When I asked for rice, they loudly said, ``Rice. It’s just one set!” Is it an izakaya? I felt like I would get a response like, "Yes, I'd be happy!"When I returned to the room, the futon was spread out, but the pillows were quite high. This is difficult for people who usually use low pillows. The head side of the pillow and the futon side were opposite.Is there some kind of sensor when the room gets dark? About 5 green LEDs are flickering all the time and it's dazzling. Also, I can't sleep due to the aforementioned noise of the refrigerator in the next room and the snoring. People who can sleep anywhere should be fine, but I thought earplugs were a must.breakfast. When I sat down and listened to the explanation and ate, sometimes the same person explained about refills of rice and miso soup, sometimes they didn't. I eavesdropped and found out how to change the food. When I returned to the lobby after breakfast, the staff was vacuuming at the automatic door at the entrance of the lobby, looking at the people drinking coffee and relaxing in the lobby. Masu.That's impossible. Isn't the vacuum cleaner only used after all guests have checked out? Go home early. It is an act that is taken as such.So, I'll check it out again soon.There were too many things to go into, so it was quite long. Is it like this for around 10,000 yen per night? I think it was like this at a reasonably priced hotel, so I would have given it one star, but the meat and sake were delicious, and I could see the sea of ​​clouds, so it's closer to one star. I made it into two.Is it different if I stay in the south building, a VIP room? I don't think that's the only problem...I hope this will be helpful to you.
