It was an interesting place, but the indoor charcoal grill was quite smoky. I was a little disappointed when the dried fish was served frozen. The open-air bath had a nice atmosphere, but...The whole thing is old and a bit dirty. The staff were helpful.

The day trip set is a great deal 🉐❗ But the general public starts at 8am, so even if the riders use it, they will leave after 10am 🙄

It looks like a sulfur hot spring, which is rare even in Chiba Prefecture. But it doesn't have that particular smell. Robatayaki seems to be on sale, so when you enter the entrance, the aroma of charcoal grilling fills the air 💧 After checking in, the bathroom is on the second floor, and there's a robatayaki place and a rest area with lots of cats on the way? I will go through. The bath is open-air and very hot ❗ The view isn't that great, but the atmosphere is nice ✨ The downside of this place is that even after taking a bath, you come out smelling of charcoal grilling (lol) Also, the hygiene is not good 💧 It looks like a raccoon dog anyway The cat was so cute✨

The inn itself is old, but it gives you a sense of nostalgia.The food is grilled on the hearth both at night and in the morning (for guests staying overnight), and the quantity and quality are very satisfying. I can't eat it all.Also, there are about 5 cats that come and go freely inside and outside the building, and they are friendly and cute.

It was my first time using a hot spring on a day trip.The staff were very nice and there were 8 friendly cats☺️The hot springs were very nice with no chlorine smell.We are very grateful for the free flowing water from the source these days.The facilities are old and there are insects, but people who think it's a nice place should go.It was sudden, but I was able to eat, and I was very satisfied.Thank you very much, I will go again

The food was great, the hot springs and open-air baths were great, and the staff were great. However, I would like the toilet in the guest room to be equipped with a washlet as soon as possible.

I was looking for a secret hot spring in Chiba and found this place.It said it was a natural sulfur hot spring, but it was only a slight amount. However, the scenery and atmosphere were great.It's a good deal at 1,950 yen including breakfast, and the meal includes slow-grilled chicken and salmon halas, vegetables, grated nameko mushrooms, black bean natto, salad, and pickles.You can choose from three types of miso soup (seaweed, freshwater clams, and clams), and all of them were so delicious that we took our time to enjoy them.There are also about 7 friendly cats. Of course, each child has a different personality, but some of them sit on my lap and I feel happy.I would like to go again!Sometimes there's cat feces lying around (lol)

As soon as I entered, there was a hearth and the smoke from the charcoal that had accumulated over the years gave it a nice color. That's relaxing. 😆When I turned left, there was a reception desk in front of me, and there were T-shirts with the name of Shichirigawa Onsen on them, and I bought my favorite orange color. I come here once in a while. 😆👍As you go a little deeper, there is a large hall on the left, decorated with paintings by many artists, Jizo statues, and soothing music.It was very comfortable. There are also several cats. Please note that people with animal allergies may not like it. However, they are not aggressive, so if you approach them, they will purr if they are happy if you pet them. 😆As you go further in, there are three hearths on the left. There is also karaoke, and each song costs 100 yen, but since it's in the mountains, I think it's okay to sing as long as you don't cause any inconvenience. There is a kitchen at the end, and a very kind older sister and older brother will take care of you, so feel free to talk to them.😆👍Before you go up to the second floor, there is a toilet on the left and a locker for valuables in the middle. When you go up to the second floor, there are men's and women's hot springs, and the locations change depending on the time of day, but I felt that both had a good atmosphere. I haven't stayed there yet, but I would like to someday. 😆One thing to note is that the parking lot can only accommodate less than 10 cars, based on my own experience. Since it is a popular hot spring inn, you may not be able to enter unless you make a reservation, so I think it is better to make a reservation.Ah! There was a campsite nearby and we were able to play in the river. 😆👍I felt comfortable in both places. 😆But it's only happened once😅

Don't stay overnight, just take a day trip to the hot springs. A hearth and a cat welcome you. The building has been transformed into something more spiritual than before, but the inside remains the same. Do the baths change depending on the day and time? I took a bath with a different person than before. The overall impression here is rustic. There were insects flying around, but it would be unethical to complain about such trivial things when you are bathing in such wonderful hot springs in the mountains. Both the indoor and outdoor baths were hot springs, and the outdoor bath was hot spring-like, so it felt very nice in the summer.

From noon on July 11, 2024, you can only use the hot springs for day trips. I had heard about this hot spring from a friend and decided to stop by if I had a chance on my way home from golf.I went inside, but there was no one in what appeared to be a reception area with rows of gourds hanging, so I went further down the hallway to the kitchen and called out to them. I found out later that there was a pop-up at the reception desk that said "Press the button to call"? It was placed flat, but I didn't notice it.The price is set at 1,150 yen for adults. I wonder if it's expensive.I had a towel with me, but there were no instructions in case I didn't have one.Please store your valuables in the free lockers in the hallway on the first floor.There is an indoor bath and an open-air bath on the second floor. The flow line between the indoor bath and the open-air bath is such that you cannot go back and forth without first passing through the changing room. One washroom and hair dryer. There are 8 undressing baskets. There is no liquid or skin cream that is usually found.Although it is a hot spring, the smell of sulfur springs is not strong.The indoor bath has a shower for 4 people. Basic body soap, etc. are available. The bathtub can only accommodate about 3 to 4 people. The heat is normal.The open-air bath is completely different from what is advertised in pamphlets and on the website, so it is better not to have high expectations. There was also a bathtub that was not used, and I felt rather lonely. It's lukewarm. There is a fence to hide the view from the roof of the inn, but when you soak in the bath, you can only see a glimpse of the mountain peaks in the distance. If you turn around 180 degrees, you'll see the dense trees lined with blinds, so don't expect too much of a view.But that's about it. It feels great when you take a bath in a hot spring.There is a fireplace at the entrance.There are cats wandering around the rest room, so it depends on whether you like cats or not.This time, I only took a day trip bath. I think there will be a different review if it comes to meals and lodging.If it's a weekday like this time, there will be few people, and there will be many people who will find it very useful.

Is the spring quality good?The level of clutter in the bathroom is within an acceptable range.(I feel like I'm going to fall through the floor, the mat at the exit outside is dirty)The scenery was rural and very beautiful.However, the hallway on the first floor was probably sticky from oil and I hated walking around in my socks.There is a living space in the rest area that seems to belong to the shop owner, and there are leftover drinks and food left behind, making it very unsanitary.To put it bluntly, it's like having a huge hot spring boiling at your relative's uncle's house.1200 yen is a bit expensive for this...I think around 700 yen is reasonable.

A good bath that can be used for day trips in the neighborhood. The outdoor bath feels so good! I wanted to pet some of the cats, and I wanted to feel soothed by playing with the dogs at the dog run across the street (separate facility).After the bath, I left immediately because I didn't want to be exposed to the smoke from the hearth.The irori hearth where you can grill your favorite dishes is attractive, so we recommend taking a bath after lunch!

I used it at a day trip hot spring. Unlike the exterior, the interior feels like an old-fashioned hot spring. You may feel calm. The price is a bit high at 1150 yen.There were cats everywhere in the building. Might be good for cat lovers.
