I used it for a day trip bath. There was a detour due to flooding. Please be careful as it is a slippery road. I think it will recover after a while.The hot springs are transparent. This is a small rectangular bath. A group of elderly people were staying there. It looks like there will be a banquet as well.It was dark so I couldn't see the surroundings, but I think it was surrounded by nature.

Mt. Chokai was very beautiful from the mountain hut. The food was delicious and the service was very attentive.The hot springs are also very relaxing. There was also a vacuum tube stereo set, so you could listen to some very good music. thank you very much!

The road is closed and difficult to reach. Navigation is not working. There are almost no explanations inside the building, so you won't understand unless you ask.However, the beautiful starry sky in the open-air bath is amazing.It takes 30 minutes to reach the parking lot of Mt. Chokai.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our staff.My long-cherished wish came true and I was able to book a room at short notice.Due to the rain, visibility was poor, but the open-air bath was pleasant, the inside of the hotel was clean, and the food was delicious.In the evening, nice music was played, and I was able to forget about everyday life and feel refreshed (music was also played in the morning) I wanted it)It was a small mountain lodge with a gentle atmosphere. It was a busy stay, so it's a place I'd like to go to again.

I used it after climbing Mt. Chokai.Reception hours are until 9pm & 520 yenIt was a beautiful building, like a mountain lodge or a resort hotel.Is the indoor bath a little hot? The open-air bath has warm, soft water that soothes your body after climbing.The staff are also very kind and helpful.

I went to Golden Week, and the hot springs were 520 yen for adults, and the kindergarten was free. (Elementary school student forgot)The view of Mt. Chokai was spectacular and the negative ions were amazing (^^)I stopped at a cottage, but there were stink bugs and it was a bit of a pain, but after that I have no complaints!
