Shimoda Onsen hot spring town? This is an inn located inAlthough it is a small, family-run inn, the customer service, hot water, and food are of high quality.The hot springs are directly sourced from Shimoda Onsen (no disinfection required). There are two baths, a rock bath and a cypress bath, which are alternated between men and women.Both baths are large enough for 3 to 4 people.In the rock bath, hot water flows from the spout, and because the bathtub is small, the water is very fresh.The cypress bath has a reasonable amount of hot water, but the bathtub is a little small, so the water is very fresh.Because it comes from the source, the water temperature is high, and because it is a sodium and chloride hot spring, it is very warm.Although the hydrogen carbonate content is high, the alkalinity is not that high, so the slimy feeling is reasonable.Overall, your body will become very warm and you won't be able to stop sweating in the bathroom.However, the changing rooms and common hallways are well cooled with air conditioners, so by the time you get to your room, you'll be sweating a lot.Many lodging facilities these days are turning off the air conditioners in hallways and changing rooms, perhaps to cut costs, but the fact that they keep air conditioners running early in the morning and late at night is a great example of hospitality. I think it's a technique.Dinner is a dish filled with seafood. The sashimi in particular is very fresh and pairs perfectly with sake.We have a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, but not a wide variety (there is only one type of cold Japanese sake, but it is a local alcoholic beverage).For breakfast, it's the standard rice and seafood.The rice is served in a small thermal jar. To be honest, I couldn't finish it all by myself (which is a blessing in this time of rice shortage).The room is a Japanese-style room with wooden flooring and is old, but it has everything you need (extension cord included).The toilets in the rooms are Japanese style, but the toilets in the common areas are washlet toilets (1 each for men and women x 2nd floor = 4)There is one shared medium-sized refrigerator.There are two privately run supermarkets in the hot spring town, and you can get side dishes, bento boxes, sashimi, etc., as well as alcohol, so I think it's possible to stay overnight without meals and drink in your room.If you let them know your meal, bathing, and check-out times in advance, they can prepare accordingly (for example, make sure the changing room is air-conditioned even if you bathe early in the morning).Overall, I think it's a good hotel with excellent hospitality.

It's very soothing. The hot springs and food are great. The customer service is good and the atmosphere is nice. I will repeat if I come to Amakusa again.

Considering my age, it's an irresistible inn that reminds me of the Showa era, like a boarding house from when I was a student or a movie set. The hot spring ♨️ is really addictive 👍️✌️. The food is delicious😋🎵🍺😊. I think I'll try being selfish next time⁉️I like cutlassfish, so I'd like to order salt-grilled cutlassfish😂.Please do not push yourself too hard and accept reservations.

Shimoda Onsen is far away. Still, it was an inn that made me want to come back someday. I was able to enjoy the hot spring water directly from the source.Perhaps in response to the coronavirus pandemic, they are currently only accepting one group per day (June 2023). Meanwhile, I'm sorry for staying overnight on Saturday while traveling alone.The bath is large enough for about 3 people. There is a gender change system in the morning.A simple alkaline spring typical of Amakusa Shimoda Onsen. The hot springs contain sodium chloride and hydrogen carbonate, making them safe for all kinds of people to bathe in. Even though the night time was a little short (until 10pm), I think I went in three times in total. I liked the feeling of the hot water more than the numbers.The temperature of the hot spring source, which is about 50℃, becomes about 42℃ in the bathtub. There is plenty of hot water, so there is no need to circulate it. No heating or adding water. It's a luxury, isn't it?The inn itself feels a little old, with Japanese-style toilets, but the interior has been well-maintained and is in good condition.Above all, I thought the hospitality was amazing.・Speaking of Shimoda, there are 100 best sunsets in Japan. Since sunset was around 7pm, we were able to change our dinner to start at 7:30pm.・When I told her that I didn't like oysters when the plate came out, she immediately prepared another dish for me.・When I was thinking about the next day's schedule, he drew a marker on the bus timetable and suggested a recommended route (including transfers).I think I got an experience that far exceeded what I paid for.

I had some errands to run and I used it. The host's response was very good. The food was delicious and I used the hot springs about 3 times, which was great. I slept well. I would like to use it when I have something to do in Amakusa.

[Make up for the oldness of the equipment with hospitality]I stayed here as a solo traveler. It feels like an old-fashioned family-run inn, and the facilities are old, especially the plumbing. There is a toilet in the room, but it is Japanese style, and there is a Western style toilet in the common area.However, Fujihiro makes up for the age of the equipment with his hospitality. As soon as I entered the inn, the host and landlady were waiting for me with a welcoming atmosphere. When I was shown to my room, the landlady made me some tea in a teapot, and I took a deep breath. When I asked him various questions about the surrounding area, he kindly answered my questions.Dinner was an ``easy seafood plan,'' but it was so plentiful that I couldn't believe it was ``easy.'' Savor the many delicious dishes made with local seafood and meat. It's a good idea to include two meals!When I asked to see the stars at night, she responded with the kindness of a mother, ``You can use the rooftop, it's dangerous to go too far at night!'' The weather conditions were good on this day, and the stars seen from the rooftop were wonderful, and we could even see the Milky Way and shooting stars. After watching for about an hour, the landlady became worried and came to check on me. I feel like calling her Mama...(I was calling her in my heart).After looking at the stars and getting a little chilly, I was able to warm up in the hot springs flowing directly from the source, and it was a very satisfying time.This is an inn full of hospitality.However, the equipment is old. Please be aware of that.

We used it on a family trip of 3 for my 6th grade son's last summer vacation. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we enjoyed the "private reservation", which is limited to one group per day. (Actually, there are more than 10 rooms) The building was built in the Showa era and has a retro feel, but it was well kept and very comfortable. In addition, many expensive air purifiers were installed to prevent infection. The hot springs I had hoped for had a refreshing quality and I took a bath three times a day. This was also a private family bath. The water was flowing directly from the source, and since the source was hot, we had to open the bathroom window beforehand, so the hot water was just right and it was amazing! The food was full of seafood as expected, and even my son, who usually only eats one bowl, ordered two refills! Thank you for staying with us for two nights, and although we had an uneasy night on the second day due to a typhoon making landfall, we were glad that they were kind enough to lend us a flashlight. When choosing Shimoda Onsen, I decided on Fujihiro Ryokan based on reviews, and it exceeded my expectations. As everyone has written, I think that the owner and his wife's kindness and hospitality have kept this restaurant open for 60 years. Even my son, who is strict about accommodations, was very happy. I definitely wanted to repeat it again. Please do your best without losing to Corona!

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we were only able to accommodate one group per day.The prices were reasonable, but the food was luxurious. Since it's from Amakusa, the food is mainly fish, but everything was delicious.The best thing about it was the hostess's customer service. Thank you for taking care of me until the end. It was a relaxing stay that felt like returning home.I was able to watch the sunset over the sea from near the inn, and it was also pleasant to take a walk nearby. The aunties in the neighborhood are also kind, and they all talk to me lol.There is no denying that it is an old inn, but I was so satisfied that I didn't mind that. I'm thinking of going again.

The hostess's personality is wonderful.
