There are several hundred meters of road where you can't pass each other by car, but you might not like it if it's dark.The drop-in bath was 800 yen!The hot water is clear with a faint sulfur smell. It was a good hot water that gradually warmed up. I would like to stay there next time. There were a lot of Cordyceps sinensis specimens in the lobby, which was a bit scary.

This is an old-fashioned hot spring.When I went there, it was reserved and had a quiet atmosphere, and I loved the! I love hot springs.There is a sense of security, like going to grandma's house, and it's nice that it's well kept.The quality of the spring water is also very good!All the hot springs in Tohoku have their own merits, so you can't go wrong!The woman who came to the reception desk was cheerful, kind, and explained everything carefully.It's nice to have that kind of warmth.

There was a lantern from the Japan Hidden Hot Springs Association, which was flowing directly from the hot spring source.
