There are peeks at employees and peeks into locker rooms.It hides across the fence from Takenoyu and Kakenoyu, and it pops up from outside the fence when you raise your legs high to take a hot bath.You can also see if there are women in the changing room by looking at their slippers, and they will stick to the noren curtains at the entrance, waiting for an opportunity.The women's bath is completely visible from the street outside.Let's go to Kani-yu with an open mind, knowing that it is a hot spring that has been around for a long time, and that we can leave behind the shame of our trip.The hot water was very good! !

For the time being, it ranks first in the hot spring evaluation ranking.I'm happy that I went!The conclusion is confusing!The indoor bath does not get very hot, only a shower.The individual high-temperature bath on the second floor was so hot that even when you put water in it, it was so hot that you couldn't get in properly.The first open-air bath cannot be entered due to cleaning, and the second open-air bath is actually a real bath, but there are too many people to enter it.The quality of the spring water is certainly good.I decided on a day trip plan because the accommodation fee was expensive, but for lunch I had instant tempura next to dried noodles, and a hot egg with rice...what about the side dishes?I guess there's no point in going there other than the experience gained from going there for the first time.Yumoto has similar spring quality, but considering access and fees, Yumoto is probably the only choice.

I'm going to compare with the Hatcho-no-yu that we did a day before- the room is better (there is a sink + toilet inside the room)- the team is much more welcoming and greets us when we leave- the mixed osen is larger (but the Hatcho-no-yu one is prettier with a view of the waterfall)- many more drink dispensers, it is even possible to buy nuddle cups!The front of the building is under construction, which causes a bit of a scare upon arrival.The rooms and buildings will need some updating but that doesn't detract from the overall charm of this placeConclusion we preferred it

This is a quaint and secluded hot spring that every Japanese person should visit at least once. If you're used to luxury hotels, don't expect too much...this is a homely inn where the people are kind. Your heart will be healed. Many of our regular customers are like that. The hot springs are of the highest quality. It warms you from the core of your body. The pain in your body will mysteriously ease when you come here. The dishes use a lot of local mushrooms and wild vegetables, and the taste is just right. Refills of rice and soup are free. This time as well, I was full, and I was very satisfied with the healing of the hot springs and the people.
