An old-fashioned luxury inn! That's what it feels like.The hot springs smell like sulfur, and there are three types (regular ones, ones that change gender depending on the time of day, and private baths (not all open-air baths)).I chose the plan that included Yonezawa beef sukiyaki (steak and shabu-shabu are also available) for dinner, and the other dishes were also very delicious and the room was a good size, so I was very satisfied.By the way, the route inside the building is quite complicated so don't get lost.

A hot spring inn with free-flowing water.Due to the addition, there is a maze of corridors and stairs extending from the front desk, but it gives it a nice atmosphere.I was surprised at how spacious the room was!We had our meals at the restaurant, and everyone was kind to us, making it relaxing and heartwarming.

My husband and I stayed here. The room was a room with a semi-open-air bath. The building had a Showa-era feel and was fresh. I tried three types of baths: a men's bath, a bath where the gender changes depending on the time, and a semi-open-air bath in the room. Satisfied with everything. The food was also delicious.This is an inn I would like to visit again if I have the chance.

I stayed there during Golden Week.The accommodation fee was relatively reasonable, and the food was delicious and satisfying, as mentioned in other reviews.There is no open-air bath for men, but it is a hot spring with a slight sulfur scent.The water was so hot that I couldn't stay in it for long, so I went in several times.Although the building is old, it is well kept. It was a Japanese-style room with futons, but the futon was comfortable to sleep on and I was able to get a good rest.The building also looks like a maze and is fun to explore 😄This is a very tasteful inn.However, there is no elevator, so it may be quite difficult for people with foot problems.All the employees were very kind and I was very satisfied.

I had a Yonezawa beef steak course for dinner, but the portion was so large that I felt like I could be full even without the steak. It was delicious.There is also a type of bath where the male and female baths are switched at night, and since more customers go to that direction, the men's bath, the grape wall bath, tends to be empty. A hidden gem.The air flow of the dryer is weak, so it is difficult to use with long hair.The photo is of breakfast. It looks small, but it's not at all, it's just right.
