An inn where you don't really feel the benefits of staying.In simple termsFlexibility doesn't work.Lack of basic services.Security.Stink bug.Forced visual inspection of passing trains.noisy.The room is small. (Men and women share the same toilet)Overall, the rent is high for this quality.Hot springs are the only thing that can be said to be real, but there are too many disadvantages, so I will write them down below.First of all, you can bathe in the hot springs 24 hours a day.According to the rules of the inn, women have a small bath (like at home), and men have a large bath with an open-air bath.Women are only allowed to join the men's side from 9:00pm to 10:00pm. There is no replacement.There were two groups including us, and when we stayed there, they often told the other group of male guests not to accidentally come in at this time. But the goodwill of men and women? It's still the same, so I'm not sure if it's really okay because they won't just hang up a sign or anything.The chatty hostess said that the male customer had drunk a lot that day, so she told him to refrain from taking a hot spring because it would be dangerous to take a bath, and that the male customer would also take a bath the next morning. I asked on the spot if I could use the larger bath outside of this limited time, but they were not flexible and I was only allowed to use the larger bath for this one hour. If you know you won't be able to come in, wouldn't it be nice to at least make it two hours?The food looks luxurious and seems to have been prepared with care.Many of the dishes are made with a lot of fruit, especially peach sauce? It had a vague taste and was good quality meat, but it didn't go well with it and to be honest, it wasn't delicious.Even so, every time I brought the food while I was eating, a woman stood next to me holding a rice bowl and kept talking to me and asking me what I thought of it, so I had no choice but to respond, ``It's delicious.''In contrast to dinner, breakfast is mostly left alone.I felt at ease in that respect, but since the dining area is next to the entrance of this inn, I felt a bit uneasy about it.What's more, even though there is a retractable partition, I can't close it and it stays open.In the middle of the meal, I noticed that a male customer from the second floor who was leaving early in the morning was coming down, so I had no choice but to finish it myself and not be able to see the meal.After everything was finished without incident, the proprietress immediately opened it for me, saying, "I'll leave it open!"I told her that it would be more comfortable if I closed the partition, but she didn't stop me from closing it because she wanted me to see the view of the mountain.By the way, the view on the mountain side isn't particularly nice, it's just a backyard where heavy machinery is parked to dig holes and there isn't much sunlight.If they were to open it up, it would be nice if they could use it as a resting space since it's close to the bathroom, but at night they close the partitions as if to say they can't use the tables and chairs. However, while I was eating, I couldn't understand the point of opening it up so ostentatiously.About securityIn my experience, it's the sweetest key ever, and it's a key that you can stick with a stick and twist. Therefore, if you go out to take a bath or the like, you cannot lock the door from the outside. In the first place, even if you lock the door, you can break through it by ramming it (lol)Also, the room is so close that you can walk from the entrance within 5 steps, and the reception is right in front of you. To put it bluntly, it's an environment where you can't rest in peace.Furthermore, in the morning, I could hear the footsteps of the customers upstairs as they were getting ready! Don Don Don Don! It was constantly echoing and was very noisy.Male guests are on the second floor, where they don't have to worry about noise or security, eat in private rooms where they can't be seen by passersby, and have a spacious bathroom. I don't understand.Also, there were no pitchers of water provided at night.However, this does not mean that water after taking a bath is provided in the common area.Are you in the kitchen because you want iced water? I went up to the side and said, ``Excuse me,'' but it was a young couple? I could hear the conversation, but there was no response, so I wasn't noticed.18,300 yen by phone reservationUnfortunately, the cost of accommodation is quite high.Overall, I gave this rating because the price and service did not match, and I felt that the inn was rather expensive.

2024/08/22 ~ 2 nightsTake the Tadami Line from Aizuwakamatsu Station(Stops at Aizu-Kawaguchi Station, one station before the train, for about 30 minutes.)You can enjoy the scenery and exit through the ticket gate.There is a shop with some souvenirs etc.)Transfer to the hotel after getting off at Honmei StationThe room you were shown to was on the 1st floor.Yukata, bath towel, towel, toothbrush, Wi-FiElectric kettle type pot, refrigerator with freezer section, safeThe door has an internal key onlyThe futon is pulled out for dinner, and the cold water pot is in the refrigerator.Shared washroom (in the changing room) and toilet (washlet)The vending machine is in front of the public bathhouse.There are two bathrooms, the indoor bath for men is large, and there is an open-air bath.2 showers, body soap, rinse-in shampooHair dryer, paper cup, razorIt would be difficult for both of us if someone else was in the women's bathtub.1 shower, body soap, shampoo, conditionerhair dryer, paper cupBecause the source temperature is high and no water is added, the input amount is small.On the first night, there were no other guests and we enjoyed the men's bath.There were no female customers on the second day either, so I stayed in the women's bath alone.21:00-22:00 when there are male customersIt's a hot spring for beauties, so your skin will be smooth.¥22,000 per person per night + bathing tax ¥150I really wanted to go to Yukura OnsenMuch more than the usual budgetThe food is certainly delicious and looks nice, and the white rice is delicious too.However, 2-3 slices of Aizu beef and 2 slices of eel.I was wondering if I could eat pumpkin grown in Kanayama, but it was just normal...Considering the cost, it can't be denied that it feels expensive.The proprietress is a sake expert and offers rare and recommended sake.Served in one glassSmoking area is at the entranceAnd for some reason, every time the sun goes down,A warty frog welcomed me in the middle of the doormat.(While smoking, he moves to the shade of a rock and disappears)I don't like it, but I've grown attached to itOn the way back, the train leaves at 08:21 (the next train leaves at 15:35), so it's a pity that I can't take my time.The young proprietress is also working hard.It looks like his son and his wife will be able to take over from him.I hope it continues to exist in the future.

The location is right in front of the Tadami River. When you get close to it, there is a side road that goes down, so go that way and you will arrive.There is another hot spring right in front of you.The exterior has a clean, old-fashioned appearance.The inside has been renovated and is beautiful.When I opened the door, the landlady was there. Reception room? They were shown to the bathroom and were given tea and explanations about the baths and other facilities.Then I had a cute grandchild. Seems like a family run business.The day we went was a weekday.Normally, from what I've heard, the inn seems to be packed with customers, but on our day we were the only ones staying there, and my husband and I were able to take a bath in the open-air bath.The bath is hot. It may be good for hot spring lovers, but it may be too hot for people who don't usually take hot baths.The room was on the 1st floor with a panoramic view of the Tadami River.The room was spacious and just right.A refrigerator and kettle are provided. There were two bottles of beer in the refrigerator, one for each type.Stink bugs come out in the winter, so we had plenty of duct tape. Not recommended for people who are afraid of insects.When I went there, it was like a course at night.The dishes made with seasonal ingredients are delicious.I thought he was a Japanese professional. It's a seasoning that can't be easily made.The young proprietress mainly explained the cooking.I was shown the Tadami Line at night according to the time.After we finished eating, we felt sleepy and went to bed.There are various things like a kitchen nearby, but it was so quiet that you could hardly hear any noise.You can use the bath as much as you like 24 hours a day.From April, 16,650 yen will increase by 10%.I was able to stay at the old price.I thought everything was good, including the food, the hot springs, the landlady, and the young landlady.It felt good to be surrounded by nature for the first time in a while.

I stayed with a friend from Saitama.I felt at home and had a comfortable and comfortable stay.I was very satisfied with my long-awaited visit to Yukura Onsen.Also, the elegantly seasoned dishes were like eating at a Japanese restaurant.It was so delicious that I ate it all night and morning until I could eat it all.The first time I tried sansho yubeshi, it became my friend's favorite.During our meal, we were given guidance on when the Tadami Line train would pass, so we were able to see it for the first time.This is an inn where you can feel the hospitality.I understand that there are many repeat customers.thank you for helping me.

I stayed for one night from December 16th to 17th. I was picked up and dropped off at Honmei Station.On the night of the 16th, the rain turned to snow, and we were able to enjoy Yukimi Sake.The open-air bath has hot water flowing directly from the source and can be accessed through the window.In the cold winter, you can relax in the slightly hot water while looking out at the Tadami River.The hospitality and food of the landlady and her son were very delicious.The next morning it was snowing, and we were able to fully enjoy the snowy Tadami Line.Next time, I would like to come stay in spring when the wild vegetables are delicious.

It looks like an old guesthouse from the outside (excuse me), but the food is delicious and the drinks are carefully selected by the proprietress, who is a sake expert. The room is a so-called Japanese-style room. The futon was fluffy and comfortable. The hot water is brown due to iron content and is cloudy. There is also an open-air bath that can be accessed through the bathroom window. Mitarai is clean with a washlet. I think it's best to refrain from walking at night because you might encounter bears.

Tsurukamesou is an inn located on the banks of the Tadami River.Because the Tadami River is blocked by a dam, the water surface is calm like a lake, reflecting the scenery on the opposite bank.When I entered the room, I was greeted by the gentle landlady.The exterior of the building is not particularly ornate, but when you enter the entrance, you will notice that it has been renovated and is made of zelkova wood.This time, go to the first floor. The room is less than 10 tatami mats in size, and also houses a shrine. According to the story, this room was used by the previous retired person.There is a table and chairs by the window so you can look out, and you can watch the Tadami Line trains passing by from time to time.Let's take a bath right away. When you enter the bathroom, you can see that the water is very thick and the water has solidified and looks like rock.According to the hot spring analysis report, the spring quality is sodium, calcium chloride, and sulfate hot spring. The total amount of ingredients easily exceeds 6000mg/kg, making it a very concentrated ingredient.The water is brown and cloudy, and since it's a chloride spring, it's salty and very warm when you lick it, and you can't stop sweating on hot days. Well, this sweating effect promotes metabolism and is good for the body.What's interesting is that there is an open-air bath outside through the window. In the men's bath, you can take a bath while looking out at the surface of the Tadami River and the Tadami Line trains that sometimes pass by.By the way, there is a Yukura Onsen public bath in the back of the inn, which you can enter for a contribution of 300 yen or more. It seems that Tsurukamesou and the hot spring source are the same.Dusk was approaching and it was time to eat. Dinner will be served in your room.From the appetizers onwards, the dishes are quite elaborate, and the ayu looks like it's swimming.Apparently the proprietress is a sake connoisseur, so we received not only rare sake, but also sake brewed at a local sake brewery that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.The next morning starts out magical with fog covering the mountains.I took a bath in the morning and had breakfast slowly in a private room by the entrance.This Tsurukamesou is a wonderful inn, but it is different from what it looks like from the outside. Next time I would like to visit during the snowy season.

I visited on a family trip.The view of the Tadami River flowing in front of the inn is beautiful, and the food is delicious and very satisfying!I also like hot springs, so it felt really good. The unexplored region I visited on my Tadami Line journey is a quiet and peaceful place.When I forgot something at the inn, it was very helpful to be able to contact me right away.I couldn't go back to pick it up, but it was shipped and I was able to receive it safely.Thank you for your careful packaging and message!
