Six people, including an elementary school student and a preschooler, stayed here for one night during the three-day weekend in October. Originally, I paid a reasonable amount, but at the suggestion of the hotel, I added the same meals for elementary school children as adults for an additional fee, but in that case, children's lunches did not have to be included, so I paid for that amount. I would like the payment to be deducted.Since the meal comes with an adult meal and a children's lunch, I ended up leaving the children's lunch, which had a lot of fried food, because I couldn't finish it. Because many preschoolers have allergies or cannot eat certain foods, we did not include meals this time. The staff was a mixed bag, many of whom were not used to it, and there were many other problems when dining, so I didn't have a very comfortable stay. You can use three baths: the large bath, the small bath, and the day-trip bath Nagomi-no-Yu, but it seems that Nagomi is only available for use on the day of arrival, so I thought it would be tiring to take three baths on the day of arrival. I heard that there was a sauna at the bathhouse, so I made plans to go to the small bath closest to my room the next morning, and on the first day I took a bath in the large bath and Nagomi no Yu. The next morning, when I went to the small bathhouse, I found that the sauna was no longer available in the morning. There are quite a few people who want to use the sauna at hot springs, and some people use it in the morning, so you should make sure that it is working properly and explain this in advance. Also, I paid nearly 130,000 yen for one night, but the room I was given was on the first floor, and when I opened the window, the road was right in front of me, so I never had to open the curtains, so although the room itself was spacious, it was dim and clogged. I ended up spending time in a space with a great feeling. I learned that you can pay this price and be given a room with zero view. I have stayed at various inns in the past, but this time I experienced many things for the first time, so I felt very disappointed. The building, which was built by a shrine carpenter, and the quality of the hot water are excellent, but I felt like I was relying too much on them.

This time I visited with the lunch course with bath included as a catalog gift.Since it was a weekday, I had a relaxing time.I went from the reception to my room and first took a relaxing soak in the hot spring♨️, which was privately reserved.The quality of the hot spring was soft and moisturized my skin. One thing that bothered me was that the open-air bath didn't have a roof at all, so I thought I wouldn't be able to enter it if it rained or snowed.The meal was served deliciously.I was satisfied with the elaborate dishes such as sashimi, hot pot, and other single items.I would like to stay overnight next time.

The quality of the hot spring water, the atmosphere of the room, and the garden are so good that I have repeated it 5 or 6 times. But unfortunately, I have had bad experiences the last two times. One was that there were scales left in the fish tempura (we went with 4 people and only served 1 person). The other thing was that when I checked in early, I was not served and had to wait for a long time. The customers who came later were being served, so they were ignored. Unfortunately, we received only low-quality answers such as "There is a shortage of people..." for both questions. Please feel free to improve.

A ryokan where you can enjoy 3 hot springs in a building built by a shrine carpenter ♨️The alkaline hot springs are slimy and seem to be good for the skin, and the food was delicious.Surrounded by mountains, this is a recommended hot spring inn where you can relax quietly at night.

The rooms had a great atmosphere and were very nice.However, it smells like cigarettes.I don't know if it's stained or not, but I needed ventilation anyway, which was very disappointing.This can't be helped due to the location, but smartphone reception is poor, including Wi-Fi.

I used it in June.The building was beautiful and the room was spacious and clean.The hot springs were very pleasant and the staff were all very kind.I talked to the cleaning staff in China, who I like working here, and he was very nice.When I checked out, I received a cheesecake in the front lounge, but I dropped the most delicious part, and when I returned the tableware, I told the male staff at the front desk that I had left it because I had dropped it, not because it tasted bad. When I informed them, they replaced it with a new cake!How kind ♪It was full of hospitality and really warmed my heart.I would like to visit you again.

I stayed here on September 21st.I drove there and was surprised when I saw the temperature.It was cool.The quality of the spring water is smooth and smooth.Is the room made by a shrine carpenter? I liked the transoms and sliding doors.I saw a lot of people at the dining hall, but I didn't see many people at the hot springs and was able to soak in the hot springs.Guests staying at the hotel can use the day-trip hot spring right next door for free, but please note that reception is only available at 9:00 pm, and you cannot use it until 10:00 pm in the morning.The building is spacious overall, and the only way to get to the second floor is by stairs, so it may be difficult for people with mobility problems or wheelchair users.The meals are unusual for a ryokan, and the amount of food is enough for even a woman to finish (of course it depends on the plan).I like the quality of the spring water, so I would like to visit again.

I stayed here on a family trip.Surrounded by mountains, the atmosphere is solemn.When you want to get away from the noisy everyday lifeI think it's good.There are several hot springs where you can relax.Dinner is a Japanese course meal in a large hall.Breakfast was a buffet with a wide variety of choices.
