Shimofujiya

It's polite, but I don't really feel it.Safe is the perfect word.

The young man's attitude was very unpleasant.At the time of check-out, I was told that I could not get a secret hot spring stamp for payment.

A hot spring inn located further into the mountains than the Shiobara hot spring town. Its specialty is the cloudy, highly acidic (pH approx. 3) free-flowing sulfur spring. Skin irritation that did not heal even with medicine prescribed by a doctor improved overnight ❗ The sulfur spring is only available in the indoor bath, and the outdoor bath is a weakly alkaline (almost neutral) carbonated spring, which neutralizes the skin treated with the strongly acidic sulfur spring. Perfect for. However, it is located outside the building, so in winter you need to be prepared to wear geta and step on the snow (lol)The food is also great. You can enjoy dishes that use plenty of local ingredients, such as Tochigi shabu-shabu, rock fish sashimi, tofu made from soy milk, and fried smelt. They have a large selection of local sake, and it's nice to have a set to compare them to. The walnut monaka that comes with the package seems to be a special order from a popular local Japanese sweets shop.The only problem I have is that it would be nice if there was a small locker in the changing room where you could leave your key. It's a hassle to go to the front desk to leave your luggage, and I'm also a bit worried about leaving your keys in the changing room and taking a long bath😑

Recommendation for consecutive nights*Nissio Autumn Leaves Line* is included with a high probability when touring in the Nikko area.I always looked at her sideways as I passed by.Every time, I take a quick look at Google Maps and the website for reference.It's an inn I've always wanted to visit someday.This time, my husband and I were seriously ill and wanted to escape from reality so we went there for 2 nights and 3 days.There are some good things about staying overnight.⚪︎You can drink beer at breakfast.⚪︎You can sleep as long as you like without worrying about checking out after breakfast.⚪︎You can sightsee without any fatigue.⚪︎There are no lines at local gourmet restaurants on weekdays.⚪︎Take the first bath of the day.⚪︎Dinner on the second day was even more delicious.⚪︎The people at the inn are very considerate.⚪︎Travel costs are cheaper than coming multiple times.Amazing 👍⚪︎The bath is nearby. (20 steps from the men's bath room 203 on the 2nd floor. The women's bath is on the 3rd floor)⚪︎The standard plan is sufficient for cooking. It's painful to order specially made horse sashimi.⚪︎“Would you like to have some rice 🍚 first?” she asked, which I was grateful for since I can no longer drink alcohol.Refills are okay🙆 It's okay to finish with Ochazuke🙆⚪︎Drinks: Custom-made dishes can be ordered using a tablet.When it comes to additional dishes at regular hotels, it is common for guests to be asked to order by what time.You can order here even from the middle of the course. Fun 😃⚪︎The tea is burning in the room and it smells nice.⚪︎If you open the window, you can smell the faint scent of sulfur.⚪︎The scent of sulfur is not harsh even in the bathroom.😢It's a little difficult. But it's no big deal.⚪︎Since it is located along the mountain pass (Nissio Momiji Line), I don't think it is suitable for walking.However, the walking course is listed in the booklet. The 30 minute round trip to Mt. Io (source) is fun.Trekking shoes are best.⚪︎Cleaning will take place from 9:30 to 14:00 and you will not be able to use the baths in the building. (Be careful when staying for consecutive nights ⚠️)However, you can use public baths and open-air baths at inns (50m walk).⚪︎Go by car for lunch. 15 minutes to the hot spring area.⚪︎The table at the restaurant seems small... There's no space for food... It's a little less busy...However, I am grateful for your diligent attention.Overall Review: To put it simply, the facility itself is small and does not require unnecessary maintenance costs, so it feels like they are focusing on prices, food, and service.

The inn is located right next to the Arayu explosion crater in Okushiobara Onsen, and the smell of sulfur that smells like eggs wafts in the air as you approach the inn. The inn has a large indoor bath and a private open-air bath. The sulfur spring water that poured into the cypress bath in the large public bath was surprisingly soft and moisturized my skin. The hot water in the rock bath is smooth, but it's nice to be able to relax and feel like you're humming. There are three traditional public baths right next to Shimofujiya, and guests can use Tera-no-Yu, Naka-no-Yu, and Mujina-Yu for free. I went to the middle bath wearing a yukata and geta sandals, and it really felt like an old spa, making me feel like I had traveled back in time, and I really felt like I had come to a secret hot spring. It was worth coming deep into the mountains. Further up the mountain is a ski resort called Hunter Mountain, which opened on December 2nd. We recommend installing studless tires in the upcoming season. Lastly, the inn is proud of its food, but there were so many dishes that it was difficult to eat all of it. First, read the menu and get an idea of ​​how much to eat. They can also accommodate allergies, so if you consult with the inn in advance about the food, they will accommodate you. With a full stomach, I can laze around in my room and then take a bath. Thanks to you, I slept well. On the way home, at the roadside station, I bought some vegetables at Agripal, and at Senbonmatsu Farm, I bought some soft serve ice cream, cheese, milk, sausage, and bacon. Yesterday, I had tote-yaki for a snack at Fujiya in Shiobara Onsen, and the hot orange juice was also delicious. It was a trip rich in food for Gourmet Raku. Thank you for the meal.

I was left with an impression that the landlady tried her best to accommodate us.

Orthodox hot spring innIt was an inn where you could feel the high quality of the staff, who were very attentive to every detail, and the training of the landlady.The food is delicious both in the morning and at night! ️I can't eat it!! ️There are 3 public baths nearby that you should definitely visit❗

It was a very good stayI deducted 1 star because the shower and sink in the bath were in a bad position, making it difficult to use, and there was no towel rack in the room.The hot water, food, and customer service were all very good.I stayed on a Sunday, and it's no wonder it was fully booked.There are 3 outdoor baths nearby, and hotel guests can enter for free, so we checked in at 3pm and enjoyed the indoor bath, the outdoor bath, and the outdoor bath before dinner.The inside of the hotel was kept very clean and I felt comfortable.It has also become one of my favorite places to visit.

Thank you very much for your help.I stay at a hot spring inn every month, looking forward to getting stamps from the Hidden Hot Springs Association. As always, I thought I would be able to say thank you and go home in a good mood.If there is anything I would like to see improved, it would be the young man at the reception desk. Son? Maybe...I felt something was wrong with the customer service attitude. We also had a bad experience with the secret hot spring stamp mentioned in the reviews. I think there was an oversight on our part, but the way we communicated things to our customers. A one-sided conversation with no smile or sincerity and no listening.This kind of response immediately overshadowed the good qualities of the other staff members. I have visited various secret hot springs, but this was the first time I had such an unpleasant experience at the reception. It was very disappointing.Also, move and park your car yourself! I felt it was good.Overall, everything felt somewhat mechanical.The woman and landlady at the door were very kind.thank you very much.I paid a lot of money to come, but the response made me feel like this and I feel like I was throwing away my money.

Thank you for your help for the first time. Everything was great and I had a great time. Just one thing. It's not good if there's only one person (staff? young man?) who doesn't think they're good at serving customers, and I'm saying this as someone who is paying to visit.Why are you being so stubborn and making me tremble so much? I admit this is an oversight, but since it is a member's inn of a hidden hot spring, there are bound to be some people who are looking forward to the stamp rally in addition to the inn's services. If it is not possible to affix a seal, please make it more clear, or you should verbally confirm whether it is possible to affix a seal by e-mail in advance or at the time of check-in.As a member accommodation. Also, the accommodation is decided! I think it shows that they care about the guests by listening to what they have to say instead of just focusing on one thing. I regret paying a high price because of the unfriendly service of one unfriendly man.I didn't want to argue in a place like that.All the employees were wonderful and a beautiful woman, who I think was the landlady, took care of everything, but at the very end I felt a little disturbed because I was the only one there, so in a sense it was a memorable trip.I'll say it again, except for ``that'' everything is great, thank you for your help.
