Shinshuueda Reisenteraonsen Nakaya Hotel

I think it would be impossible to judge this hot spring inn based on information obtained from the internet.I tried everything that everyone wrote and was convinced.It can't be helped that there are pros and cons because there are differences in values.For me, it was a perfect hot spring inn.I felt that it had a very detoxifying effect and somehow healed my body and mind.Physically, the building is beyond old and has fallen into disrepair.The hallways are creaky and leaking.The walls are peeling and the sliding doors have stains and tears.The carpet in the hallway is worn out and the doors don't close properly.The toilet is Japanese-style, the TV is a cathode ray tube and you can't hear well, the fittings in the room are covered in scratches, the teapot is missing, and the tatami mats are stained.But while I'm spending time, I don't care about that! As the check-out time approached, I didn't want to leave.The quality of the spring water is lukewarm, about 37 degrees, flowing directly from the source.You can take a bath 24 hours a day, but the temperature is slightly warmer than body temperature except during the heating time.However, after 10 minutes of soaking, it got so warm that I started sweating.Two callans and one shower.The changing room is spacious.When I went there, my hands were really chapped, but after taking a bath 5 times during my stay, I was surprised to see that the improvement was so great that I didn't even need to apply hand cream.However, to get to the bathroom, you have to go outside and go down and climb several flights of stairs, which may be difficult for people with walking disabilities.There was a comment that there was no key to the room, but there is a key that screws into the sliding door where you take off your slippers.These keys are rarely seen even in old houses, so most people may not notice them.When I turn off the TV, which has poor hearing, I listen intently to the sound of the river flowing in front of my room.The couple who live at the inn are kind and calm, and their children help with the work at the inn, and they are very polite and pleasant.We feasted on local food and things from our garden.Although it didn't look great or have a lot of volume, it was a menu that made me think, ``Oh, it's okay to eat like this on a regular basis. If I do that, I'm sure I'll stay healthy.''Above all, when I opened the bowl, I felt that just the white rice, which smelled sweet and warm, was a luxurious treat.The toilet in the room is Japanese style, but the toilet in the hallway is Western style.It didn't have a washlet, but it did have a heated toilet seat.The guest room was clean, but I gave it 4 stars because there were dead stink bugs and moths on the air conditioner attached to the window and on the window sill.The village was full of abandoned houses, so I was a little scared of the dead insects. lolGuests can bathe for free at the public bath across the street by taking the ticket left at the entrance.This is heated, so the temperature is always over 40 degrees.There's nothing for sale except for a vending machine for drinks outside the inn across the street, so if you want to eat sweets or something, you'll have to buy some.However, the rule is that you must take the trash you bring home with you.But that's only natural, so let's take it home without looking at it.This time, I found an inn that I thought was a good find.I want it to last forever!I was able to relax in the truest sense of the word.I will be visiting again, so please come again next time.Thank you very much for your time.
