This is a famous inn that I stayed at several times during my university days.Bathers can choose between men's, women's, and private reservation tags for the two types of bathtubs with different hot spring quality.Of course, you need to be considerate of other customers, but I remember thinking that the system that allowed you to reserve a restaurant for an unlimited time was innovative and new.The meals prepared by the proprietress are also exquisite.At the time, the price was in the 6,000 yen range for one night and two meals included, but I was surprised that they could serve such fine food for that price.The seasoning is just right, and I think it's a meal that will please anyone.What's more, they change the types of dishes depending on the season. I think it's quite rare for an inn that costs less than 10,000 yen to do so much.If I remember correctly, I think it was served in the room. If the hot springs are good, the food is delicious, and the prices are low, then it becomes a popular inn.I graduated from university a little while after the coronavirus pandemic started, so I didn't feel like going on a graduation trip with friends, so I went on a solo trip to this inn.The proprietress, who is popular at X, was just as she was, and kindly and warmly welcomed us.Thank you for the handwritten New Year's cards you send me every New Year's Day.I'm currently back at home with my parents and my address has changed, so I can't visit her often, but I'm still supporting her behind the scenes.Working at a hot spring can be both fun and difficult at times.I would be happy if you could continue at your own pace without overdoing it.

The hotel cannot make reservations through major travel agencies, and it also does not have a website, so you will need to check the website X, which is updated by the young proprietress, for irregular closing days. However, looking at that X, there are many photos of items that appear to be gifts or gratuities given to the inn by guests. I felt a lot of pressure, as if saying, ``Andara, if you're all over the place, what's going to happen next?'' So, being a timid person, I brought along a gift worth three times the day trip fee. First visit.Since I chose the time after check-out, there were no other bathers, so I was able to enjoy two types of wonderful hot springs. As per the reviews, there was no shower or hot water faucet, but the good news was that the pipes for the cold water faucet ran around the wall of the bathtub, so the water was slightly warm. I sincerely thought that someday, I would like to stay overnight and enjoy some of the young proprietress's home-cooked meals.However, it would be a good idea to publish the gifts received from customers, including photos of each brand and comments, such as, ``This is famous in Tokyo,'' or ``This looks delicious.'' For example, does a waitress openly tell other guests how much she received as a gratuity today, or that she received something unusual?Those who give gratuities to hotels should do so discreetly so that other guests do not notice. If X were to publish their impressions individually, the next guest would want something more appealing to the young landlady, or something that would look better in X, which could encourage competition among the guest rooms. As a result, it will raise the bar for new customers. This is because it would involve a much larger expense than the accommodation tax that Miyagi Prefecture is considering introducing.Shouldn't gratitude for gifts and various gratuities be limited to between the inn and the guest in question? After all, that is the Japanese way. I think that if you emphasize a custom that should be optional, new customers will continue to be concerned about it like I was.``I want to write about my favorite dishes on my blog, my favorite dishes, and my favorite dishes. I want to take it easy, but I'll do my best."

We stayed for 2 nights and the food was delicious. Family run and very relaxing.I also rented out the hot springs and took my time.This time we had a room on the first floor.However, I thought the futon was damp.I have a bad back, so it was nice to be able to use two mattresses.Will it be humid if it rains a lot?Thank you again for your help!Abe Ryokan's hot spring eggs are delicious!

I stayed there several times. It's also a good idea to rent out the hot springs for yourself. The food is also delicious. There were times when I would eat dinner and go to Hachicho. I'm quite busy and have Saturdays and Sundays off, so I can't get the day I want. I'll be staying again. I'm looking forward to it. Onsen eggs are also cheap and delicious.

Akabai Onsen is an unusual name, but it is a historical place name derived from the former name of Higashi Naruko Onsen, ``Akabai-no-Yu.'' Currently, it seems that only this inn located on the opposite bank of Higashi Naruko Onsen is named.Separate hot spring sources flow into the men's and women's baths, and in response to the requests of hot spring fans who want to bathe in both, they are now operated as two 30-minute private baths. What's more, you can take a bath for a drop-in fee instead of paying a family bath fee. The "Women's Bath" is a sulfur-containing sulfur-sodium-hydrogen carbonate/sulfate hot spring with a metallic odor and white water derived from sulfur grass, and the muddy water that resembles an earthen spring containing sodium-hydrogen carbonate/hydrogen sulfate. Let's compare salt "men's baths"!It seems that accommodation with meals is highly rated, but self-catering accommodation is also recommended, as there are self-catering areas on the first and second floors. At self-catering accommodations, there are often a lot of condiments left behind by previous guests (well, that's helpful), but this one seems to have been disposed of, so it's clean and pleasant. I can cook. It is also recommended for beginners of self-cooking.That morning, I took the plunge and called and booked a room, and it was really great.

There's no doubt about it - I was finally able to stay.You can also reserve two types of hot springs for private use! A charming inn with delicious food.Also, if possible, I would be grateful if I could make a simple online reservation. We have tried to make reservations over the phone several times, but it is difficult to make arrangements due to full occupancy or holidays, so please make sure to make reservations.

Stayed on 24.4You can't go wrong with the service, food, and hot springs.Stayed on 23.10The dessert was Shine Muscat...what was it?Stayed on 22.10I had a choice of Harako rice or regular dish, but I don't like fish eggs so I ordered the regular dish.As a precaution against the coronavirus, the bathtub will be reserved for private use.There are two types of sources.I would like to stay there someday.
