The rooms were well-cleaned and we had a comfortable stay.Hot springs don't feel like you can relax and enjoy them.There is a mini kitchen, so it was convenient.

There is an Aeon supermarket next to the accommodation, and there is a public space kitchen/in-room mini kitchen in the hot spring pavilion. Bicycles are free to use and you can ride a bicycle to explore Tangnoping Street/Jinlin Lake. You can also reserve a 40-minute private bathing time for the hot spring dew. Parking is free but the accommodation is also close to the train station. There are public spaces with free drinks. The accommodation is new and clean. Finally, the cat shop owner solemnly bid us farewell.

For this fee, it is really very affordable~I booked a Japanese-style room and a Western-style room this time. The room is clean and the bathroom is relatively small. Those who want to take a bath can go to the hot spring house provided by the hotel~I like the staff here very much. They are very warm. The two cats are very comfortable and provide travelers with a quiet atmosphere. Thank you for your careful management❤️

Very nice hot spring hotel! You can store your luggage first~The service attitude is very good, and they are very patient when making reservations for the hot springs.The room is a simple Japanese-style room, but it still has everything you need. The best thing about this hotel is the great view! The view from the top floor and the room is beautiful!The store cats are also super cute and family~~(There are also free bicycles available for rent)

What kind of onsen ryokan only had onsens available by booking system unless after 9,40pm!!!! 🤬 After riding my bicycle 64km and 818m in height, I was extremely disappointed to not be able to shower or have an onsen bath until after 9.40pm!! No sink to even wash hands after toilet (tap above toilet didn’t work) or brush your teeth (if your room has no basin). This place is not worth the money. Such a stupid set up. Don’t come here. Only thing I liked were their cats.

A place with really cute cats. The restrooms and hot springs are both clean and have a nice atmosphere. However, rooms that require the use of a shared bathroom or toilet are somewhat inconvenient. The air conditioner is dirty because a lot of dust accumulates inside, and a lot of dust is blown throughout, which can cause a sneezing rush. The accommodation was quite satisfactory thanks to the hot spring experience, yukata, and cat.

Be aware that this place has a very weird set up with their baths.They are all private up to 9.40 at night, so if you can't get a booking you are S.O.L getting clean before that time if you book one of the rooms without a bath. There are no other showers or bathrooms available if you are unlucky enough to rent one of the non facility rooms. They really mean there are no facilities, anywhere in the same floor. This also means after you use the toilet you need to wash your hands in the kitchen, same goes if you want to brush your teeth.It's like they are trying to be both things: a normal onsen place and a private onsen place and succeeding at neither.There's also no rotation on the baths so the guys get stuck in the indoor downstairs onsen and the ladies get the nice upstairs one. I've had baths at a Route Inn that had more atmosphere. Oh, as others have mentioned, the water isn't hot either.TBH, you're better off stay at a Route Inn than the "cheap" rooms here. They aren't even cheap.Wouldn't recommend staying here if you want flexibility to have an onsen at a reasonable hour or when you want it.

The reservation method is different from the review 3 days ago~Visited on 5/18. According to the previous review, only the 1st and 3rd floors were available for reservation, but now you have to reserve the rooftop as well, and the rooftop reservation time is until dawn.And mixed bathing is prohibited on the 1st and 3rd floors from 9:40 p.m.!!!!! Please note that you can only make one reservation! In other words, you can use it by filling out only one of the reservation tables in the photo, and you cannot use it at other times even if there is no reservation.I heard that you installed a new Wi-Fi yesterday, but I was very confused because the Wi-Fi did not work in the room. ㅠㅠㅠ,,Please take note for those who visit.And unlike the picture, our room was much smaller where the table was.I was a little disappointed in many ways, but I still had a good rest~!
