I used it at a day trip hot spring. The hot springs flowing directly from the source were the best. The building was also nice and clean.

Perfect for the night before climbing Mt. Tanigawa!If you are staying at the hotel, you can take a day trip bath the next day for 500 yen, which is a great deal.Both dinner and breakfast are filling and delicious!Recommended!

I used the hot springs for a day trip.As a hot spring, it is clear and colorless and does not have a strong sulfur smell, but the water flows directly from the source, and the facilities are new and very comfortable.It's perfect for hot water on your way back from the mountains or at a campsite.The hostel was also nice, so I decided to go camping next time.

The sign on the street stood out so I stopped by on my way back from climbing.Is it too late for people returning from Mt. Tanigawa from 5:00 pm? But it was nice when I got to the front of the building, so I waited for about 30 minutes.Bathing costs 800 yen, but if you buy a towel it costs 1100 yen, which is expensive.There are also rentals available, so that might be a good idea as well.

This inn caught my eye on the way back from a walk around Tenjindaira Ski Resort. It is also possible to take a day trip to the hot springs. Time seems to be a little tight, so let's be careful. A day trip costs 800 yen. These days, hot spring inns like these are disappearing, so this is a valuable facility. The hot springs seemed to be new and were very clean.I thought it had some kind of history, so I looked it up and found out that it started as a facility related to the Shimizu Tunnel (the ``Long Border Tunnel''), which opened around 1931. I would definitely like to stay again next time.
