I visited on a hot day in August. Reisenji Onsen is a small hot spring area with only four inns and one communal bath. The warm water was perfect for the hot summer. I think it's a little-known spot because there aren't many people. After about an hour's bus ride from Ueda Station, the hostess picked us up from the nearest bus stop.[Inside the building/rooms]The inn, run by an elderly landlady, is an old building that makes you feel like you've come to visit your grandmother in the countryside. There are guest rooms on the second floor, and a dining hall, bath, and toilet on the first floor. Be careful as the stairs are narrow and steep.There was a rest area on the mezzanine floor, and drip coffee was available. There is also a water server on the first floor and mezzanine floor. There is also a refrigerator for guests to share in the hallway on the second floor.The room is fully air conditioned. They prepared separate rooms for me and my mother, but the air conditioning in one room was a little weak. Yukata, towels, and toothbrushes provided. I was able to use Wi-Fi so I had a comfortable stay.[Bath]There are two bathrooms, both large and small. This is a style where you hang a sign indicating the women's and men's baths at the entrance. There was only one other male guest in the hotel that day, so we were able to use the bath privately at any time. The smooth, lukewarm water is constantly flowing. It felt so good that I accidentally fell asleep when I took a bath in the morning. lol【meal】I thought I would be eating with the male guests at the dining hall right after entering the entrance, but they prepared the meal for me in the back area where the bathroom was. There is also a TV in each location.The proprietress, who is a good cook, prepared delicious meals both in the morning and in the evening. I was so happy because I had been wanting to try it ever since I started researching it on the internet😋The soup for dinner was especially delicious as it had vegetables like moroheiya in it.The proprietress seems to be thinking of quitting soon due to her age, but the regulars seem to want her to continue. I certainly don't want such a wonderful inn to disappear.I hope that the landlady will continue to take care of her health and stay healthy. Thank you for your help.
