This is a past log.Used as a drop-in bath at a hot spring inn.500 yen per person (I think this has changed now). You will receive instructions at the front desk. The bathroom is located on the 1st floor (the front desk is on the 4th floor!) using the elevator next to the building. Patterns for men and women change daily.A simple structure with 1 indoor bath and 1 outdoor bath. It looks like it's flowing directly from an artesian source. The indoor bath is a little over 40 degrees, and the outdoor bath is around 42 degrees. Relax and soak in the sights and sounds of the Fuefuki River. It has an alkaline smell and is slightly thick. It may be unusual for the open air to be hotter.The source temperature is said to be around 50 degrees, so there may be a difference in the way the hot water is drawn. I thought it would be great if I had enough space to enjoy the breeze outside.There are 8 washing areas, shampoo and body soap provided.There is a small training machine and massage chair in the rest area. Some vending machines.I'm sure the view from the open air will be better during the fall foliage season, so I'd like to visit again when the weather gets colder.

What about people with sensitive skin? I think the indoor bath is good. However, Karan also has a source of water, so you can't wash it away. The next morning, my body smelled like sulfur.

Mitomi Onsen riverside innDay trip bathing costs 800 yen and can be paid with PayPay. Lockers with keys are the type where 100 yen coins are returned. The open-air bath overlooking the Fuefuki River is truly beautiful during the autumn leaves season. The inside of the building has a somewhat desolate atmosphere.

I came here for the first time in a year. The quality of the hot spring ♨ is very good. Today, we swapped men and women, which was refreshing. I bought a ticket 🎫 years ago for 500 yen, but now it's 800 yen. Moreover, when I tried to pay 300 yen, the owner told me that the ticket price was fine 😊 I was very happy. Thank you very much. There are still tickets available, so I'll come back to the hot springs again.

Mitomi Onsenkyo, located in the Nishizawa Valley, is an unexplored area of ​​Yamanashi, and may not be that well-known.From Chichibu, take R140 towards Kofu. After passing the entrance to ``Roadside Station Mitomi'' and Kawaura Onsen ``Yamagatakan'', you will see ``Hakuryukaku'' on your right. Although it is a lodging facility, the hot springs are also open for day trips, so this time we used the hot springs for day trips. The bathing fee is 800 yen for adults and there is no time limit.Hmm...evaluations are divided here.●Hot springI looked for the hot spring ingredient list inside the facility, but I couldn't find it anywhere. After searching the website and other internet sites, I found the following.100% natural hot spring from our own source, sodium/calcium-sulfate/chloride ion spring Ph=8.9 Metaboric acid=14.5mg/literThe hot water is clear and colorless, with a slight sulfur smell. The indoor bath is hot and the outdoor bath is hot. Because of its high pH, ​​it has a very smooth feel. Also, it is characterized by its high disinfecting effect because the metaboric acid content far exceeds the standard value (5mg). There are two types of baths, an indoor bath and an outdoor bath, and the men's and women's baths are rotated. The open-air bath is divided into a rock bath and a stone bath, and the men's bath I used this time was a stone bath.There is no jacuzzi, sauna, or cold bath.There is a bamboo pipe in the middle of the indoor bath, from which the hot spring water flows. Quite an interesting setup. It was quite spacious. The open air is a rare trapezoidal shape. It's not very large, enough space for about 5 to 6 people. The inn itself is located in the mountains and is not built to attract attention, so there are no blindfolds that are common in open-air baths. The trees are bright green in front of you, and you can see the Fuefuki River flowing below. You can soak in the hot water while fully feeling nature. The open air is covered with a roof, so you can enter it even in bad weather without any problem. The water temperature is around 40℃~41℃. On this day, the temperature in Tokyo was 36 degrees Celsius, but here in the Hakuryukan area it was 30 degrees Celsius, which is much easier to beat than in the city, so I was able to enjoy this open air quite comfortably.●FacilitiesNow, the problem is facilities. The entrance is on the 4th floor, and the hot spring takes an elevator down to the 1st floor. The entrance is not very large. The exterior of the building has a Showa era feel and is desolate. It's the hot spring floor on the first floor, but when you first get off the elevator, a musty smell hits your nose. This really bothered me. Even after opening the bathroom door and entering the changing room, there was a musty smell. The indoor bath is not very old, but the door leading to the open air and the roof of the open air are old and rusty. As the hot springs are wonderful, it is a pity that renovations to the aging facilities have not been sufficient.There is a small shop near the entrance with wine and hand towels on display, but the rest room (?) at the back of the 4th floor is littered with items, indicating that it has not been used for a long time. I'm afraid to enter here because it doesn't look good. Also, there is nowhere to eat. Cold water is free at the front desk, and coffee is available for a fee.●Comprehensive evaluationThe hot springs are wonderful, so people who don't mind the desolate facilities, musty smells, or the state of things being left in a clutter will probably appreciate it, but there are no saunas or cold baths, and the facilities are aging. There is no repeat. 😢
