Day trip hot spring use.The employees make me feel at home.I looked at the reviews, and I can't deny that it's a bit old and handmade.As someone who has been to some incredible hot springs in the past, it was so beautiful, thank you very much.The spring quality is sodium, calcium, sulfate chloride spring (hypotonic, weakly alkaline high temperature spring)The indoor bath is a normal heated pool that smells of chlorine, but the outdoor bath has a nice view and is lukewarm, so you can sleep well.It has no odor, is transparent and colorless, and has a slightly slimy feel. Is there a slight chlorine smell?My neck pain has eased a little.By the way, it was 600 yen on Nifty.☆3.5

It was the worst response. I was looking for a restaurant to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday, but every time I inquired, the story kept changing and was completely inconsistent. I called several times, but the content changed each time, and in the end I wasn't even sure what was correct. Even when I complained, there was no apology or remorse, and it was a very unpleasant response that didn't seem sincere. I don't want to use such terrible service again in the future.

It seems like the sauna facility has lost its vibrancy due to fewer events such as heat waves, but the sauna facility itself is top-notch, so it is a recommended facility in Shimane.

I will definitely not go again.Cockroaches are dying. Shower room, locker room, and toilet. There are places where you want it to be clean, and when you are defenseless, an infinite amount of huge things will come out.It was the first time I had seen that much at once, and even I, a man, got chills.Also, the indoor clothes they lend me smell like they haven't been washed. There are strange stains. I couldn't wear it.I was really looking forward to it, the staff was kind, and the sauna and hot springs were great.I came with plans to stay in a capsule room because I wanted to feel like I was traveling, but after seeing that in the dimly lit space, I felt so sick that I didn't stay and went home at 11:00pm.

Use of capsulesBefore I went, I regretted that I should have stopped taking capsules on my trip, but first I got excited with all-you-can-drink alcohol (highball, five types of sour, shochu barley and rice).The sauna was perfect, medium temperature, medium humidity? It seems like you can stay in it for a long time and it will warm you up to the core, the water bath is 15.8 mph, and the rest area has a suspicious atmosphere. I also felt that they were particular about the TV programs that were played in the sauna and drink room.(Finnish sauna program in the sauna, Hiroyuki and Higashide travel program in the drink room)I regret that I should have just bought a knob. Apparently the customer base is usually bad, but since I went on a public holiday, it didn't really bother me.

I used this hotel because the accommodation rate was reasonable compared to other hotels in the area. It seems that it has been recently renovated, and has turned from a hot spring inn to a sauna facility where you can stay overnight. Although the facilities are well-equipped, the layout is not so good, and the staff are inexperienced and there are some insufficient explanations, but the price is satisfactory. However, due to the low prices, the quality of the customers tends to be poor, including people who can't maintain their mental stability unless they crowd together and make noise, and old men who are old enough to not know bath etiquette. Please note that this is not suitable for people who get irritated by such things. Out of Softbank coverage & unstable Wifi. The clothes in the building seemed to have been worn several times without being washed, and the smell of armpit odor from the previous user remained.
