It is located between Nagayu Onsen and Shichirita Onsen, and I stopped by to take a bath.¥400 for adults outside Takeda City and ¥250 for adults within the city, purchased from a ticket vending machine/Shower, shampoo, and hair dryer included/Enjoy the indoor and outdoor baths with natural hot spring water, and I personally liked the quality of the spring water.✯There is a hot spring facility and parking lot separate from the accommodation building.✯I was a little concerned about the cleanliness of the changing room, and when I visited around the end of September, the electricity in the open-air bath was not on. (Maybe it's fixed already?)✯It was hot in the changing room with only a fan, but there was an air conditioner in the entrance so I felt cool.

I stayed here because the reviews were good. The meal was pork shabu and it wasn't as good as the reviews said... The room is also normal. But you can't go wrong with the hot springs!

Revisited on June 27, 2024This time, I stayed in a Western-style room by myself.I made a reservation for the country-style meal (?) plan without grilled beef.A generous and delicious dish that most women would never be able to finish.Warm things are served warm, and hot things are served hot.The pot rice, salt-grilled sweetfish, and the cabbage and meat in the chicken hot pot were very delicious.I was happy to be able to go to the hot springs and open-air baths this time.It was a rainy day, but it was cool and pleasant.Excellent hospitality that rivals that of high-end ryokans.Next time, I want to stay for 3 nights, but the problem is that it's not easy to make a reservation...-------------------------February 2023Book a business plan twin room at Jaran.When I arrived at the parking lot, it felt more like a home than a ryokan, but the customer service was very courteous and the room I was shown to was newly remodeled, so it was very spacious and pretty.There is a small self-serve bar in the hallway, offering green tea, hojicha, coffee, and several types of cookies and pancakes.Since it was a business plan, I didn't expect much about the meal, but when I went to the designated dining area, it was so good that I thought I was in the wrong room.The pork shabu-shabu was soft enough to melt in your mouth without any bad smell, and the fat was sweet, and the texture of the local chicken sashimi was also excellent.Tempura and rice are also served afterwards.It's a pity that the group I went with couldn't eat at all due to overeating and drinking the previous day, so we left most of it behind...The breakfast was full of volume and the tonjiru was delicious, as was the tofu and rice, especially the homemade yogurt and the thick tangerine juice that seemed to have been made on-site.The only thing that was disappointing was that the open-air bath was closed, perhaps because the weather was cold, and there was only one indoor hot spring in the large communal bath. There were 4 washing areas.The time I went to the hot springs was probably the time when the locals were also coming to take a bath. There were four people, so it felt crowded.If you are a hotel guest, you may be able to go in leisurely if you go late in the evening.Next time, I want to go again when I can go to the open-air bath.

I wonder if the reason why the price is so aggressive considering it's a guesthouse with half board included is because it's a renovated room.Meals (dinner) are on the low side of a guesthouse, so if you want to be picky about your meal, choose another brand. We recommend that you make a reservation there. (Standard bran is not recommended)There are a few other things I'm curious about, but I'll keep them a secret.Other than the bed in the renovated room being too soft, the Wi-Fi is fast and there are plenty of TV subscriptions.The toilet is clean and comfortable.Of course, the hot spring is also perfect, so it would be safer to have breakfast only (Blanc only for breakfast) (Photos of the meal on the website and Google) (Don't imagine that, there is a huge difference in the meal content depending on the bran, so please check ******This is the result of booking the standard bran without knowing)The location is along the road from Kuju Kogen towards Nagayu, but there are no places to buy it locally, so buy it at Acoop or Nagayu Daily.Probably won't visit again.

This is a day trip hot spring that I suddenly stopped by as I passed by. Although it is a guest house, the hot spring is in a separate building. When you enter, you feel like you have mistakenly entered a regular farmhouse, but there is a hot spring in the back left corner. The parking lot is also spacious and paved. There is a ticket vending machine on the right as you enter, and you can use it for 400 yen. All amenities are available. There is an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and although it is not large, the water is flowing directly from the source. The temperature is a little hot. The hot water is a light brown color unique to Nagayu Onsen.

I stayed overnight without meals after climbing a mountain. Although some of the equipment is old, it is well maintained. The accommodations are very kind and helpful 🎵
