I stayed there for a bargain price of 3,500 yen, but the room was damp and the futon was so damp that I couldn't sleep, so I reached my limit in the middle of the night and ended up spending the night in my car. There are spider webs and dust in the room, which can be a pain for people with allergies. The communal washbasin was also poorly maintained, with water splashing and sewage piling up, making it so dirty that I didn't want to use it.

We had a great stay at this hotel for 3 consecutive holidays. The woman who showed me around was kind, and the room had been renovated and was clean and I was satisfied. . .However, if you look back, I'm sure there are things you'll notice.This may be because it is operated at a low cost, but if you stick to the basics, there are many things that can be forgiven. . .Please clean visible areas and repair broken items.However, this price is at a time when all accommodations are rising in price. I think it's definitely a lot of effort.I will visit you again, so please do your best! ! !

We arrived after dark at 6:30pm.A group of what appeared to be a large group of students was holding a meeting at the entrance.I made a reservation on Rakuten Travel the day before.No overnight stay, no bath, no toilet, 3,500 yen.Actually, this inn doesn't have a bath, only a shower.From the beginning, I assumed that I would be going to the public bath.You cannot park your car in front of the inn, so use the nearby free municipal parking lot.The room I stayed in was in front of the toilet, and the interior decoration felt reasonable for the price.I think it's worth the price.There was a refrigerator, air conditioner, and TV (32 inches).However, there were no instructions in the room, and there was no sense of cleanliness.Also, the bed was soft and difficult to sleep on. .In my opinion, it's better than the private room with a lock at Kaikatsu Club.Kaminoyama Onsen has many public baths, so I was able to fully enjoy the hot springs.At night, I went to the nearby Shinyu public bath ``Sawa no Yu'', and in the morning, after checking out, I went to Shimooyu public bath by car.It's a nice hot spring town with lots of footbaths.There's nothing in front of the station.There were quite a few restaurants, bars, and sweets shops around this hot spring town.At first I thought I was going to get something to eat in front of the station, but there was nothing. .

It was cheap and very nice to stay overnight without meals.The accommodation only has showers. There is also a public bath nearby.It was also a good place to enjoy a walk.It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the convenience store.We recommend shopping in advance.The front desk staff was very kind and nice.Especially in the summer, the indoor refrigerator doesn't get cold enough.We recommend bringing a cooler box with your drinks.For those who want to keep their accommodation costs downThank you for your stay.There is also a stylish cafe nearby.There are many ways to enjoy it.

Since the selling point is the price, I don't think you'll have too many complaints if you don't expect anything in terms of service or facilities and think of it as better than a tent.It's just that it's different from a regular hotel.The management gave it a lower rating. I refute the comment, but I don't think the rating will improve in any way even if I refute it.I personally won't stay there again.It's not about the facilities or the service, it's just that it's so noisy. I couldn't sleep, that's all.

If you just want a simple accommodation called a hotel, no hospitality or consideration, and a cheap place to stay, it's OK.Although it is located in a hot spring resort, this hot spring inn that was on the verge of ruins has been renovated in a DIY style.Toilet is shared, sink is shared, bath is shared with shower, there is no hot spring.When you want to take a bath, walk or drive to a nearby hot spring facility. That's what it says.I think it's correct to think of it as an early Showa era version of a business hotel without a bath.Here is a room I was able to stay in for a super cheap price of 2,400 yen per person. Even though it was in a Japanese room, it was for two people. It had one folding bed and was 8 tatami mats in size.Even though it wasn't raining, I kept hearing the sound of rain and the sound of the communal toilet door slamming! There was an incomprehensible sound every 2-3 minutes, so I could barely sleep. Amenities were minimal.There's trash and coolers all over the outside of the building, and they don't clean it up, and there are no cigarette butts left in the ashtray next to the entrance.It looks like an abandoned building, but I don't think the people running it are motivated.
