We stayed here on New Year's Eve. The bath water infused with Banpeiyu fruit had a wonderful scent. There was also an open-air bath. We had a full meal, including New Year's specials. We chose a Western-style room. Our family of four shared two single beds and two futons in the loft. Because we're in the countryside, there were a lot of bugs, and they got on the futon, which was quite a concern. The loft was also quite steep, so I let my child sleep there, but I was a little worried. The wooden edge of the bed was bigger than the mattress, so it hurt when he got off. I was also concerned about the smell of the curtains, dust, and gaps and dirt in the walls. The refrigerator was small, but it only had enough space for cups, so we were able to bring our own food and drink. The staff were all very friendly. They also sold plates, bags, and other items. The kids played with the slot machine, which gave them three coins, which was worth 100 yen off each, so we only spent 80 yen on sweets.

★☆☆☆☆

As of late March 2023. As shown in the photo. No meals are served, and there's no sign of anyone there. The coronavirus thermography installed on the counter across from the entrance appears to be in operation. It's the season when the cherry blossoms are just starting to bloom. The parking lot is also bleak. In fact, I had visited a week or two prior, and it was already like this then. There was a fair amount of fallen leaves on the asphalt of the forest road? on the way to the facility, so I suspect it wasn't just a closed day when I visited, but that it had been closed for quite some time.

We've reopened for business. Open only on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays from 12:00 to 19:00. Adults: 420 yen, Children: 220 yen. You can enjoy a different kind of hot spring experience compared to the nearby Keisen. The water temperature is just right, but if you stay in for too long, you'll start to feel dizzy, so it's time to get out when you start to feel lightheaded. Even after getting out, you'll feel quite drowsy, but I've finally found a truly authentic hot spring that slowly gives you a deep, lingering feeling of well-being.

Visited on a weekday, June 12, 2023. It was temporarily closed for a while, but now it's open only on weekends and holidays. Business hours: 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM. ¥400 --- Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are included for ¥400. Parking can accommodate approximately 20 cars. There's one indoor bath and one outdoor bath. The water is a sulfate spring, so it's a little cloudy. Overall, the hot spring is clean and beautiful. I highly recommend it. Relaxing while gazing at Mount Sentō spread out before you will refresh your tired body.

Daytime bathing is available for 400 yen per adult. There are separate indoor and outdoor baths for men and women, and the hot spring water is slightly cloudy. I visited during the New Year holidays, and even saw floating Japanese citrus fruits. While the outdoor bath doesn't offer a particularly spectacular view, it allowed me to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Kunisaki Peninsula. There are sofas in front of the reception desk, and guidebooks and other materials are available, so you can take a rest after your bath.
