I used it for a day trip bath. I thought it was a very good place, including the hot springs, facilities, and location. Unfortunately, the grime on the glass in the bathroom has not been removed. ( ´△｀)

The iron plate is full of oil and probably hasn't been washed... They didn't check the room the day before... I won't go there again.

A hot spring on a hill is cheap at 400 yen per person!There are two indoor bathtubs, one at around 40℃ and one at 42℃, which seem to come from the same source.There is one hot spring outside, which seems to have the same source.The sauna is open from 13:00 to 21:00, so if you go early, it's not open.All that's left is a cold bathThere aren't many people, so I guess there are a lot of regulars. A very relaxing hot springIf you want to take a break in Daihiro, add 250 yen.I think it's cheap enough even if you pay this price.

The bathing fee is 400 yen. Shampoo and body soap are provided, hair dryer is provided, and there is a scale. There is only a small amount of hot water coming out of the spout rather than a continuous stream. However, there is no chlorine smell. There is a unique hot spring smell, and you can smell it from your body after taking a bath. I don't know if it's not enough, but if you could run a little more hot water, I would give it 4 stars.

Day trip on Saturday night.Bathing with children (6 and 8).The changing room is fairly spacious and easy to use.Shampoo and body soap are provided in the washing area.The washing area is a little small, so you might have to wait if it gets crowded.Hot and lukewarm. 43℃ and 41℃.There is an open-air bath.It's spacious and easy to enter.Depending on the season you're staying, it's easy to get in.

I used it for a day trip bath at the end of the year.Since it is a public day trip hot spring, I did not have high expectations for the quality of the hot springs.It is a saline spring that has a deep brown color that gives you the feeling of a hot spring.It is a comfortable facility where you can enjoy meals and an open-air restaurant with a nice view.I'm jealous of the locals.

Hot water is good anyway. It was a little slimy and my skin became smooth. The view from the open-air bath is also beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go to the sauna.The souvenir corner is full and exciting. We also sell original side dishes. Alcohol and salt ice cream was a little expensive, but it was delicious!
