The building is very old, but you can feel the effort put into keeping it clean and tidy. The staff provided polite and attentive service without being overbearing. Above all, the hot spring is wonderful. The bath on the first floor was too hot for me, so I used the one on the fifth floor instead, and enjoyed a refreshing soak in the morning. The quality of the water is undoubtedly among the best in Japan. This place is not for those expecting the hospitality of a luxury hotel or clean, brand-new facilities. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy a rustic, unpretentious ryokan with an excellent hot spring. There are no breakfast spots nearby, so if you’re staying without meals, I recommend the soba shop inside Togura Station.

始めの投稿欄に食事の有無の記載が無かった。 1人の宿泊代で1万5千円程だったので、当然、食事が夕飯or朝食が着いているのかと思ったが、どちらも無し。 宿周辺にラーメン屋とコンビニが有るのみで、飲食店が周囲に無かった。 上記に伴い、宿キャンセルや別宿への変更を宿主に言ったが、受け付けてくれなかった。 トイレは部屋には無く、部屋外の共同トイレで不便だった。 お薦めしない宿です！！！

古いが綺麗

古い温泉街にある古い宿。学生の合宿に利用されそう、と思っていたら滞在中も学生が40名程泊まっていた。 しかし、その事に気が付かなかった位、音も聞こえず、古いが不快な匂いも一切無く、害虫が出る様な事もなく室内快適だった。 温泉だがシャワー等の使い勝手、セキュリティがいまいち。朝風呂程度は良いが、1日の汚れを落とすには近くの銭湯利用した。 食事は摂っていないので分からない。
