Valuables lockers are located in the lobby. (I wonder if it was installed?)I used it for a day trip bath.

3/5
Used for day trip bathing. Both Gyokusuiso and Mitama no Yu were closed, so I looked it up on the internet and went here.It's quite expensive at 1,100 yen, but since there are no other facilities open, there's nothing we can do about it.As with Okutama's hot springs, there is no name for the quality of the hot springs, and the only content of metaboric acid (5.7mg) barely meets the specified value.It is a "hot spring" with a source temperature of 14.2℃.An analysis report from 1982, about 40 years ago, posted on the stairs indicates that the spring had an interesting quality of simple sulfur cold mineral spring with PH of 10.4, 6.7 mg of thiosulfate, and 86.53 mg of CO3. I wanted to try entering the hot springs, but there's nothing I can do about it since the hot springs are raw.The bathhouse is larger than Gyokusuiso, and you can see the mountains of Okutama through the large glass windows.Bathing in a hot spring while looking out at the scenery of falling snow in the middle of winter is very atmospheric.Since the gushing volume is quite small at 10L/min, it is a full course of heated water circulation disinfection, but there is almost no chlorine odor, and it has a unique scent that is different from bromine-based products.Rinse-in shampoo and body soap are provided, the shower is of normal force, and there is a hair dryer and tissue fan.Wi-Fi is available in the lobby.

I used it for a day trip to the hot springs, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for day trips. No lockers for valuables, no wall clocks (in both changing rooms and bathrooms), and no amenities. The bathroom is also not very large. I went with my wife, but even though we had agreed to leave, we didn't have a watch, so we were in trouble. So I left early, but there was no place to wait. It was the last day of a three-day holiday, but the bathhouse was almost reserved, and perhaps because there were no other guests, there was no heating in the lobby even though it was January, so I had to cool off in the hot water in the lobby. If you stay overnight, your evaluation may be different.

I came here to stay, and my son's customer service was excellent, and the food and room were perfect! Afterwards, there were a lot of people coming for day trips to the hot springs, so I wasn't able to relax in the hot springs. Without that, 5 points!

It seems they have stopped going to the hot springs in the morning.I came all the way from the Odawara area to go there by train, but I should have done it on Saturdays and Sundays.There are a lot of unreliable information on the web, so I have to call them directly in advance.Moegi no Yu is also closed due to construction, so I have no choice. Head to Kawabe Umenoyu
Q J
2/5
I took a day trip bath.Perhaps because it was around 4pm, I was asked how many people there were. This is probably because it would be a nuisance to the guests if there were too many people.I paid ¥1,100 at the front desk, went down the stairs, and it seemed like a woman was in the bathroom, and then I went down the stairs to another bathroom, and there was a hair dryer and a disposable T-razor in the changing room. There were towels left, and I believe they are also sold, but I brought my own.There was one indoor bath with a 5m x 2m jet, and there was no sauna or open-air bath, but the view of the autumn leaves🍁 and the river from the window was nice. There was a washing area for 6 people, and the hot water was clear and colorless and not slimy. There is also a parking lot in front of the inn.
