Although the building had a historical feel to it, it also had a sense of cleanliness and we had a great time there.The hot spring water is flowing continuously, and the water quality and texture are very satisfying.The owner and his wife were very kind and helpful, and we will definitely stay here again.

It can't be helped because of the age, but the room, bedding, and toilet were normal, but there was a strong smell coming from the pipes in the washroom.By the way, only water comes out.

Considering the price used for one night stay without meals and the tourist campaign, the level of satisfaction is high. Overall, it feels like home.The quality of the spring water is alkaline and orthodox, and the large communal baths are located on the first and second floors, and are separated by men and women.Although the building itself is not new as it is located in a historic hot spring town, it has been properly renovated and maintained and has a good impression.It was quiet and easy to spend time in, and I was able to use it comfortably from beginning to end.One of the good inns.

I want to see that Sakaeya ​​Ryokan doesn't even have a bath on the way home today. It was a nice bath, but I haven't been since the coronavirus spread.
