Stayed here on a business trip.It's a good place to stay as long as you manage to have dinner.

I went there based on my memory of visiting before (probably when it first opened), but the location had moved and I got lost in the surrounding area (lol)The room had a pleasant wood scent, but the bed was made of wood, so I felt like it wasn't a good fit for me because I have bad backs. It might have been a little different if it had been a bed mattress.

It looks more like a cottage than a hotel. The location is on a bit of a hill and there is nothing around.In addition to the indoor bathroom, there is a semi-open-air bath. Both baths are fed directly from the source, so you can take a bath at any time during your stay.Apparently bento is served for breakfast, but I didn't order it this time. There is a supermarket and restaurants about 10 minutes walk down from the hotel, so you won't have to worry about food or drink. There are also vending machines for cup noodles and sweet bread.The best accommodation to enjoy hot springs

Walls, floors, ceilings, desks, beds...Since everything is made of wood, you will be surrounded by the scent of wood, which is soothing to the eyes and has an excellent relaxing effect.The main reason I chose this inn is because it has a hot spring that flows directly from the source. It was a good hot spring.Some rooms have open-air baths and others do not, but the unit baths in the rooms are also hot springs.As mentioned in other reviews, I could definitely hear the sound of the door slamming shut, but I couldn't hear people talking or the sound of the TV. I don't think there will be any problems since everyone will be sleeping at night.Breakfast was brought to the room in a boxed lunch.It's convenient because there are Aeon, Nitori, Uniqlo, convenience stores, and restaurants nearby.

Basically I'm satisfied.When you enter the room, the scent of wood hits your nose.You can adjust the water temperature in the open-air bath by yourself, so you can make it to your liking.However, there is a concern that the open-air bath can be seen from the outside, and you can also see the open-air bath in the next room through the gap.I think this is something that needs to be improved.Also, you can hear noises and conversations from the neighboring rooms.

I stayed in the city building. This room has a pleasant scent of wood. It has an open-air bath with free-flowing water, and has a suitable temperature. The rooms and water areas are also kept very clean. The indoor bath is also hot spring and sparkling clean.The buildings are closer together than I expected, so when there are a lot of guests, you have to be a little careful about traffic. Still, it's attractive that you can park in front of the door and that there are facilities like foot washing outside.The two baths, the open-air bath and the indoor bath, are separated by the bedroom, so it is advantageous that multiple people can take a bath at the same time, but it is inconvenient to use the bath in sequence from the indoor bath to the open-air bath.My companion bruised his knee several times on the foot of the bed and table, so be careful if you're in a hurry.It would be perfect if you could put cushioning material on the foot of the bed or put a small hot water pump in the open air.

5/5
This is a type of accommodation facility with a total of four three-room cottages built in one location.One of the buildings has an open-air bath, and it is difficult to make a reservation due to its popularity, but the satisfaction level is very high.Of course, it is a hot spring in Hitoyoshi that is well-received for its hot spring quality.This time I was only able to get a room without an open-air bath, but I rented a separate family bath.The interior of the room is luxurious with plenty of wood.As of June 2020, dinner is not provided, but there is a very delicious soba and udon restaurant "Soba Chaya Fukiagean" about 8 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car. Not free. (This menu also has a wide variety of knobs.)I would like to use this inn again in the future, as the staff is very polite, it is very clean, and the price is reasonable.[Revisit]I took advantage of a travel campaign and stayed at the Ichifusayama Building, which has an open-air bath.It's only about 2,000 yen more expensive than a room without an open-air bath, but you can take a bath anytime and as many times as you like and it feels really good.Of course, you can take a bath while enjoying alcohol, and you are free to take a morning bath as well.While taking a walk, I looked around at the various buildings on the grounds.There are a variety of genres, from the Yakusugi Memorial Museum and souvenir shops to castle towers and Western-style buildings.Thank you again this time (^-^)
