Advance card payments can be made from the official website. The view from the rooftop open-air bath is spectacular. A herd of wild boars was walking down the street at night.

I stayed in a room with a hot spring. The view was great and it was open.The night view is also beautiful. The overall atmosphere was old and Showa-era, but the bath was still so pleasant that I wanted to come back again.

My family and I stayed here when visiting graves in Ibaraki, and we also used the hot springs several times for day trips. Good for those who like a friendly Showa-style feel 😊

I wanted to go to Mt. Tsukuba Shrine, so I went to Aokiya, which was right in front of me.The building seemed very old, but the inside was very clean and renovated and I was able to spend a comfortable time there.Both the Japanese staff and the foreign staff are very kind and courteous.My impression is that it feels very nice.As mentioned in the reviews, the indoor bath is hot, but not so hot that you can't take a bath.The temperature of the open-air bath is just right and the view is amazing!The night view was also very beautiful. The changing rooms and bathrooms are hygienic.I've been there many times.Both breakfast and dinner were very satisfying and the seasoning was just right.I heard a crackling sound coming from the back of the dining hall, so I looked over and saw that the cook was serving tempura!I was able to enjoy 5 types of piping hot tempura, and my level of satisfaction increased.I was impressed that the other hot items also came out piping hot!One thing I would say is that the dinner food was not very tasty. It didn't seem like it was freshly cooked.On the contrary, the morning meal was white in color, smelled good, and was delicious.At dinner, I refrained from having rice because one of my family members had been drinking, but he made me a rice ball instead.I had it for a late night snack with kelp inside. I was really happy.Overall, I got a high score and thought it was a considerate inn.I was greeted politely on my way home, and I was able to stay in a good mood throughout the day.I'm thinking of coming solo this time.

I went to a hot spring for a day trip, but the temperature of the bath was too hot, and I tried to take a bath in the open-air bath at just the right temperature, but the blazing sun was so hot that I couldn't stay in it. It would be nice to have a sunshade. 1,200 yen is for the scenery.When you stand up in the open-air bath, you can see all the nearby private houses, so I had to crouch down the entire time.

The food was delicious and satisfying. However, since there wasn't much ice in the highball and the carbonation was weak, I wanted it to be strongly carbonated. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy the scenery due to the unfortunate rain.

Take a break with your family on weekdays.You can rest for 3 hours in your room.You can have a set meal if you make a reservation in advance, but this time I brought my own food.Then, head to the famous cloud-top hot spring.The sense of openness overlooking the Kanto Plain is wonderful.The hot water is clear with little saltiness, and although it doesn't look like a hot spring, it is still a hot spring.The hospitality at Aokiya was wonderful, and all the staff did their best to accommodate us. The building is old, but it felt clean.I would like to use it again.

Although the building is old, it has been renovated and is well kept.The food was delicious. During the meal, we were greeted with pleasant hospitality, and the tempura was served freshly fried.There was cold water in the room, which was good because I was thirsty after the hot spring.The night view from the room was so beautiful that I felt like I was on a high floor apartment.

Used for day trip bathing after climbing Mt. Tsukuba. A hot spring with good access and a great view, where you can enjoy a rooftop open-air bath right in front of Tsukubasan Shrine. The interior is also clean and relaxing.If you tell the front desk that you are planning to take a day trip to the bathing area, they will tell you the price (around ¥1,000 for adults) and give you a tour of the facility. Take off your shoes on the first floor and change into slippers (there is a shoe rack on the right after entering the entrance, so change there). The hot spring is on the 7th floor via elevator. Just the fact that it's a rooftop hot spring will get you excited.In addition to the open-air baths (separate for men and women) that are often seen in photos, there is also an indoor bath. Both are on the 7th floor and have separate entrances, so if you want to go from the indoor bath to the open-air bath, you have to change your clothes and then enter. This is a bit of a hassle, but it's in a good location and clean, so it wasn't that much of a negative point. Shampoo and body soap are also provided. There are no towels, so buy them in the lobby if you need them.In addition to the location of the open-air bath, the view from the window of the indoor bath was also great. I went there around 1pm on a Sunday and it was almost private so I was able to relax. I would like to use it again if I ever climb Mt. Tsukuba.

As I was returning from climbing Mt. Tsukuba, the panoramic open-air bath "Kumou-no-Yu" was in a great location.Unfortunately, it was cloudy that day, so I couldn't see Mt. Fuji.

My sister recommended it for the first time in 30 years.I brought my parents.I'm glad that my parents were satisfied too.The female technical intern who helped us with meals (her name and nationality will be withheld) also spoke good Japanese, and she seemed cute despite her slowness.I felt that the instructions were thorough.

The bathroom was nice, but even though the website said there was a parking lot, when I arrived, I was told to park in a paid parking lot.I would expect a little more hospitality at this price

Day trip hot springs are too small to change clothes.It's cold because the only shower is outside.crowded with climbers

I used it on a family trip. The night view seen from the open-air bath on the rooftop was more impressive than the photo. Tsukuba-san Shrine is also nearby, and the area around the hotel has a clean atmosphere, making it a favorite spot.
