Spring quality S Facility C The fee is 600 yen, and first-time visitors are given instructions Please use the towels at your feet in the changing room neatly so they do not roll up Wash your body before entering the bathtub No photography allowed inside the building, valuables must be placed in paid lockers It felt like the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, with requests to disinfect hands, coins handed over through a tray, and sheets to prevent droplet infection The changing room is small, about 4.5 tatami mats in size The facilities are a standard shower mixer, and the chairs are abnormally small and difficult to sit on The bathtub is small, so it is difficult to have more than three people A man in his 50s who came in after me got into the bathtub without washing his body, which made me feel down I saw a person with tattoos in the changing room, I wonder if tattoos are OK? The spring quality is great, but I don't like the small size of the bathtub

The spring quality is excellent. The bathtub is only a little larger than a home bath. It's about the size of a typical hot spring family bath these days. There are no hair dryers in the changing room, and you can use one in the cold hallway for 20 yen. As of January, it gets cold after a bath. It's warmer in the car, and there is a simple heater on the bench sofa, but you can't sit on it. The staff only give you the obvious explanation and tell you that it's a day-trip bath and that you should report it to the front desk when you leave. The bathing fee for adults is 600 yen, just soap. The spring quality is excellent... It's a shame. I won't be back. I felt it was poor value for money.

It's great. It's my first time experiencing such a pitch-black hot spring. There are two types: boiling water and slightly hot water. It's very warming. There's also drinkable hot spring water in the bathroom. The moor hot spring has slippery, pitch-black water. The other one is salty and also a little dark. After getting out, my skin felt surprisingly smooth. Soap is provided, and hair dryers are available for an additional fee. It costs 600 yen for adults.

First-time users will be given detailed instructions on the rules. There is a baking soda hot spring and a weak salt hot spring, and although the baths are small, the water is quite good. There is also drinkable hot spring water, and both are drinkable, but the taste is completely different. Although the hot spring water is from a source, it is heated by a circulating system. I stopped by on my way back from snowboarding and the baths were very nice.

It's been a few years since my last visit. I'm grateful that it's still the same as it was back then. I listened to the detailed explanation at the front desk and then went in. Weekday hours start at 12:00. The moor hot spring is a baking soda spring. The dark, cola-colored bath leaves your skin feeling smooth. The price is a reasonable 600 yen. Photography is not permitted inside the hot spring, so please be mindful of etiquette.
