I'm out of business. The reviews over the past few years seem to be related to Toku-Ajin, and the website also smells dangerous. Let me tell you, this is my personal opinion. It's a shame because it used to be a very good hot spring.

Heavy snow 2 years ago caused catastrophic damage. The open-air bath also collapsed. Currently closed. I've seen it, but it's almost impossible to rebuild.As of 2015.11.14

A regular hot spring trip with friends. It is located in the inner part of Minakami town. (This time we used a private car)||The selling point is the raccoon dog and the open-air bath. …
