A hotel with a Showa-era feel that expanded its reach during the bubble economy and then fell into disrepair. There are some areas that seem to have been recently renovated, such as the private rooms in the dining room, but the scale of the building is large and it feels like it's not up to scratch. Naturally, there are some areas that are not well maintained and lack cleanliness. The food wasn't fancy, but it was generally delicious. The Spanish mackerel didn't smell fishy either 😅 The morning buffet had a wide variety of items including drinks. However, the best selling point is the hot springs. The indoor bath has three temperature levels, so you can take a long bath, and the outdoor bath is also within a satisfactory range. It's easy to give up on this place, blaming the acidic quality of the water for the rust everywhere.It was also great that the stars were so clear that I could see the Milky Way from my room.I wouldn't recommend this hotel to those who demand extreme cleanliness from a hotel, but it is a hotel where you can enjoy good hot springs and delicious food.I think the impression would change a little if we just paid attention to the smaller details, such as the cleaning equipment area being visible from the changing room, and the signboard being full of copy paper, but is it really that difficult? Also, if you get the help of the surrounding houses and turn down the lights, you might be able to see a star-filled sky from the hotel. Is this the strength of a dark hot spring town? I felt that it would be good to have such a sale.

The parking lot had a low roof and no electricity, so it was pitch dark and scary.The room was large, but it was shabby everywhere, and the peeling wallpaper rubbed every time I opened and closed the door, making it noisy. The ventilation fan was making a lot of noise, so when I looked at it, there was so much dust and mold that I quickly turned it off.For dinner, the sashimi, which I don't know when it was put out, was lukewarm and tasteless. My neighbor didn't need it yet, but it was there. It's not yet time for us to go home. Sashimi left out...Sauteed fishy Spanish mackerel. Oyster tempura that has been increased to about 5 times its bulk with batter.Everything is so disappointing that I feel bad for choosing this place.The quality of the spring water was the best.It is probably best to stop by and take a bath.

I chose a place to stay without any expectations or concerns, and it turned out to be a great decision.The structure of the room sometimes feels old, but it didn't bother me.Above all, the hot springs are amazing! I'm impressed that you can enjoy such wonderful hot springs at such a low price.I injured my left shoulder and was suffering from insomnia due to pain that made it impossible to turn over, but that night the pain decreased dramatically and I was able to sleep soundly without waking up once. Thank you so much!
