I used it for a day trip bath.It's 500 yen, but includes shampoo, body soap, hair dryer, and minimal equipment.There is an open-air bath, but there was a log house-style sauna next to it, so I got excited and went in.Room temperature sauna? No, I just haven't pasteurized it (lol)Is it because it's a weekday?Adjusting the temperature of the faucet is extremely annoying.It's a waste to keep running the water to get it to the right temperature.Thank you very much on your way home. That's itI said it twice but it was ignored

Approximately 8,000 yen including accommodation and dinner onlyAt the beginning of August, there were many customers, more than 10.The Japanese-style room is quite old and has a strong tatami smell. However, the air conditioner was working well so it was comfortable. Separate toilet with refrigerator. It feels like a homely stay. I was touring, but there is a big garage next door, so I could park my bike there.Dinner has a wide variety of items, and they also serve Japanese sake, which is said to be the best of the north. Homely style with well-cooked side dishes, but very satisfying. The sashimi, simmered dishes, and hot pot were delicious. A large bowl with plenty of riceThe hot springs are also of a high standard. Although it seems to be a simple hot spring, it has a strong scent of mirabilite and gypsum, and there is also a slight hydrogen sulfide scent due to the hot water being poured into it. This is flowing directly from the source in a narrow sense! Overflow from the bathtub. The open air is also small but good.

### The story of Kussharokoso#### PrologueKussharokoso is located on the shore of Lake Kussharo. This inn has the atmosphere of the good old Showa era, and you will be welcomed by warm people. This time, let's tell a story about this inn.#### Chapter 1: Wrapped in warmthOne summer day, my family and I visited Kussharokoso. As soon as I walked through the front door, I was greeted warmly by the staff. The warm hospitality made me feel at ease.The hot springs that the inn is proud of are fed directly from the source, and the temperature is a whopping 49 degrees. The heat is comfortable and relieves fatigue. The travelers spent a blissful time soaking in the bathtub.#### Chapter 2: Gourmet FeastWhen dinner time came, a variety of luxurious dishes were lined up in front of the travelers. All of the dishes made with plenty of fresh local ingredients were exquisite, and travelers were blown away by their deliciousness. Although I was surprised by the abundance of food, I felt that both my heart and stomach were full.#### Chapter 3: Path of TrialsHowever, the traveler's path was not smooth sailing. When we arrived at the inn and headed to our room, there were many insects flying around in the path leading from the parking lot. This was a big challenge for a traveler who doesn't like insects.Furthermore, the travelers visited on a hot summer day, and the rooms without air conditioning were hot and humid, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.#### Chapter 4: Limits of TechnologyWhen a traveler tried to take a shower, he encountered difficulty adjusting the temperature. Because the shower was old, it took time to adjust the temperature to the appropriate temperature, and I was worried about the utility costs during that time. This made travelers feel strongly that they needed to upgrade their accommodation facilities.#### EpilogueKussharokoso is a place where you can feel the warm atmosphere of the people and the blessings of nature, with a strong Showa era atmosphere. However, for travelers seeking modern comforts, some improvements would be desirable. Still, travelers felt that the heartwarming hospitality and gourmet feast made it worth the visit.Thus, the story of the traveler at Kussharokoso came to an end.

I lived here before the epidemic, but after the epidemic it was not as good as before. The room smelled musty and there were leftover drinks from previous guests in the refrigerator. The smell of cooking in the restaurant on the first floor was so strong that it all drifted to the second floor. There are very few restaurants nearby and they are getting more and more depressed.

The uncle and aunt also seemed nice.The inn had a calming feel to it, and I couldn't help but feel that it had a calming feel that was different from a business hotel.In the summer, you can enjoy the view from your room of fresh greenery.It's the best and there's a natural hot spring too.There was an indoor bath and an open-air bath.The indoor bath is a little hotOnce you get used to it, you can fully enjoy the natural hot springs.The open-air bath is perfect as it matches the outside air.I was able to stay in the water for a long time depending on the temperature of the water.The clear night air and open-air baths of HokkaidoIt will be special!
