There is a hot spring bath in the bathroom. It feels clean. Parking is in front of the entrance.

Kakuma Onsen retains the atmosphere of an old-fashioned spa, with several inns centered around Oyu. …

Everything was great, including the three private bathrooms. This is the best choice for those who like a secluded inn with natural hot spring water. The building has a retro feel that could be registered as a registered tangible cultural property. And the cost performance is too good. I would happily stay there even if the price was double. Everyone at the hostel was also kind. After staying here, I understood why the reviews were so high. I want to go see the Japanese-faced Venus in the public bath again. I'm thinking of staying overnight next time. I thought it would be difficult to get a reservation if there were good reviews, so I decided to write about it.

Echigoya Ryokan is known only to those in the know.There's no need for an explanation now.If there was crowdfunding for repairs, I could raise 100,000 yen!Venus with a Japanese face, I'll definitely come see you again!→Revisited. I don't know how many times I've been here...I enjoyed the same Echigo Yahan this time as well.These rattan chairs all have different shapes depending on the room, but they're all super comfortable! ♥️

Third visit, first visit since the end of the coronavirus pandemic. A private hot spring in a cultural heritage-class inn, with only two guests staying today, time passes slowly and it's truly relaxing. This was my first time coming in the summer, but the temperature of the hot water was so well adjusted that I ended up bathing 8 times. The only drawback is that it is difficult to make a reservation.This ryokan is a cultural heritage inn that best retains the vestiges of the past in Kakuma Onsen. It has an irresistible charm for retro lovers. The hot springs are also wonderful. There are three indoor baths, and the temperature of the hot spring source is skillfully adjusted to the appropriate temperature, so you can enjoy the hot springs privately as many times as you like.
