I heard from someone I became friends with on a trip that there is a hot spring inn that has delicious, natural food with no additives, so my daughter and I decided to stay there.By the way, both my daughter and I have allergies, so staying in natural accommodations is one of the joys of traveling.First of all, the most important thing is the hot springs.The open-air bath that I was hoping for had only a small amount of hot water, so I couldn't take a bath.I had heard that the soap was soap bubble soap, but the only one available was orange liquid soap, which was clearly harmful to the body, and the smell was unpleasant.Also, the bathtub I had hoped for had a lot of dirt and hair floating in it, making it uncomfortable and I didn't want to get in it after washing my body. During my stay, I went there twice in the evening and in the morning, but it was especially dirty in the morning, and the hot spring was lukewarm and didn't warm me up, so I only took a shower, and after checking out, I went to the nearby Yoho Onsen and went home.I was really looking forward to the rice bowl, but the horse sashimi and pork on the ceramic plate were spoiled and had a sour smell, and I wondered if the tempura hadn't been fried? Is it okay to freeze? It was cold and some of the grilled fish was half-cooked.Is it possible to tell when meat is so smelly and spoiled before it is cooked?Also, I don't know why it's additive-free, but I was very disappointed because it came with ready-made frozen pork cutlet and potato salad that looks like it comes with a convenience store bento.I asked the grandmother at the inn if it was possible to choose additive-free rice bowls, and she said, "I'm busy right now, so I'll change to additive-free rice soon." Can't you do it?I had heard from an acquaintance that Gohan was a chef who ran a famous vegetarian restaurant, so I was surprised at how different he was from Hanashi.In the end, I left most of my dinner and only had a salad for breakfast.In addition, there were cobwebs in the room, human fingerprints were sticky on the window, and the futon smelled musty and didn't seem to have been properly cleaned.In particular, the air fresheners in the bathroom had a strong chemical smell, perhaps to disguise the bad odor, and it was just a ``fragrance nuisance.''Maybe it can't be helped because the elderly are business owners, but since they're in the customer service industry, it might be better to be a little more considerate.Now, 12,000 yen for one night and two meals is too expensive, and I don't think I would want to stay even if I got paid for this service.I felt betrayed because this was the ryokan I was most looking forward to on my long-awaited comfort trip to Nagano.I want my time back as well as my money.It may be tough, but we also come here on a precious day off, which only happens twice a year.I will never go there again.

I stopped by and got some hot water. It's an old building, so be prepared. The hot water is good, but I think the rust on the hot water pipe may be coming out along with the hot water.

There are many opinions that differ from person to person, but the quality of the spring water and the Basler System Sauna, which is not too hot, are good for my body, so I stay here without meals.Each room I've stayed in has its own unique character, and if you're someone who enjoys it, this is the kind of inn where you can make interesting memories every time you visit.

I used it for a day trip to the hot springs. It is an alkaline hot spring, and although the building is old, I have been using it for about 50 years. Your skin will become smooth. The open-air bath is small and lukewarm. Although reviews are mixed, I use it every time.

There was no sign that the water was increasing in the bathtub, and the hot water was bubbling, and there was a lot of human grime floating in the bathtub.The open-air bath had lukewarm water instead of hot water, and there was an old man working in the field right in front of me.The man who came in later left after about 10 minutes, and as he was leaving, a woman in her 70s asked, ``How was the open-air bath?'' When I said, ``It was water,'' she replied, ``Because it's a source.''It is better to take a cold bath at home. The temperature is moderate in summer.

I would like to give it a high rating because it was cheap, I felt like they were working hard, and the grandma was kind, but the hot water in the bath was disappointing... There was a lot of dirt floating in the main bathtub, so I didn't feel like taking a relaxing soak. The open-air bath is a little warm. The hot spring water in the bathtub was no longer hot water but water... Recommended if you are not looking for hot springs.

After work, I went to a day trip hot spring to wash off my sweat.The building is old and the bathrooms aren't clean. . .But, but!For some reason, I felt a sense of relaxation and mysterious power that was one of the top three hot springs I've ever been to. The open-air bath and garden are not well-maintained and do not look very attractive, but it is a so-called power spot where you can feel the power of this land.I used it for the second time yesterday on my way home from work, and I will use it again next time.It's expensive, but they sell Chinese herbal cola, so buy it! ! !

The quality of the hot spring water is carbonated and will warm you up from the core of your body.The price is ¥500, so it is recommended for travelers.It's especially great after getting cold from a long car ride.Above all, the landlady is too nice.It's a hot spring that feels like home and makes you want to come back to see the landlady.

It was nice to have a secluded hot spring.The temperature of the source is low, so the hot water is alternated with hot water.About an hour passes by in the blink of an eye.This is good for summer.

An old hot spring hotel that looks like it was run by a grandmother. 500 yen.P.S. Visited for the first time in 3 years. Grandma was fine. The old building also has a nice atmosphere.

Used for day trip bathing. It can't be helped since it's only 500 yen, but there's no shampoo! Only soap is used out of consideration for nature!A little for people who want to refresh their hair after climbing a mountain. . .

I used it for a business trip in April 2024.The building is old and worn out in many places.It's not going to be beautiful and comfortable. It's easy for insects to get in, so if you're concerned about that, I think it's better to use another facility. At night there was a loud chorus of frogs.It's a hot spring, but when you soak in the bath, your body becomes covered in thin bubbles. It seems that a considerable amount of carbon dioxide gas has dissolved. Also, since it used to be a sea in the distant past, it is said to be rich in minerals. A little further up the mountain from the inn, there was a hot spring on the side of the road.It was an inn where you could feel the Showa era.I really liked it. I would also like to stay there if I have a chance.

I was looking for a day trip hot spring near my hotel and ended up here. When I went inside, it looked older than the outside, and I couldn't say it was very clean, but the hot springs were nice, so I became a fan. I only had about an hour to eat dinner at the hotel, and took a 30-minute bath, but the pain in my knees that had been hurting until then was gone once I got out of the hot springs. I wonder if my knees will get better if I keep going to this hot spring? I thought. I suggested we go the next day, but my husband refused and we went to another hot spring, but I would like to recommend this hot spring. There is no doubt that it will be crowded when the facilities of the inn are updated! And it only costs ¥500. I would like to wish the grandmother who accepted the reception the best of luck!
