This is what you would call a good old guest house.A Japanese-style room where you can make tea and put up and take down the futon yourself. The hot springs are available 24 hours a day until check-out, but it's small, so it's best to choose a time when there are no other people around.On the other hand, there are no more excessive services than that, so I think it's best to understand the price and use it.

The appearance is that of a normal guesthouse. The rooms and toilets are very ordinary, but the baths are good. You can enter even at night, so you can experience a luxurious time. The food is excellent. Escape from everyday life and enjoy delicious, healthy food that will naturally brighten your face.I want to visit Totsukawa Village more and more.

Used by myself on the way back from Kushimoto. The building itself is old, but it is clean and comfortable. You can also use the hot springs any time after checking in until 8:30 a.m. the next day. Your skin will become smooth and the water won't make you feel cold. The style is to lay out your own futon. They put about 3 bowls of rice in a bowl. The side dishes are delicious. There was a pot of cold tea in the room. The toilet and washroom are shared, but they are very clean. recommendation. I got lost and didn't know where to park so I called. It is easy to find if you turn left at Michi-no-Eki Totsukawa. Please note that if you use the phone number, you will be taken down a narrow path.

The bath smells like sulfur and the quality of the spring water is quite good.The hostess' customer service was polite, and I was mostly satisfied with the food, which was worth the price.I was disappointed in the end.My husband helped me when I was paying the bill, but I was talking to a man I knew and it seemed like a random thing to do.I said ``thank you,'' but he remained silent and chatted with an acquaintance.I tried to think that people in the countryside were like this, but I ended up not being a customer service person, but a failure as a person.I won't repeat it.I will use another accommodation from now on.

I go to Totsukawa every year for a cycling event.This time, I stayed at a guesthouse that I had stayed at for several years, but it had changed in many ways.The atmosphere was comfortable and the hot spring water was nice.It's a quiet guesthouse, so it might not be suitable for noisy groups.

I checked in early and had time until dinner, so I told them I was going to Takinoyu and was able to get a discount coupon and use it for 300 yen.Of course, the bath in the hotel was a hot spring and the water was very good.
