We only went to the restaurant, where you can go even without paying for the onsen entry.. I got the teishoku (set meal) number 3 for 1080 JPY, fried chicken with sweet sauce, shredded cabbage, miso soup and rice. The atmosphere is very nice, you take off your shoes at the ground floor and wear socks taking the elevator up. The eating area is spacious with a lake view, both tatami seating and tables are available (I forgot to take a photo, sorry). I quite liked the lunch set, it was really well-prepared for this affordable price and unlike most restaurants in rural Japan, this one does not allow smoking (as is normal for onsen restaurants, which is why we seeked this one out). During the afternoon, almost all nearby restaurants are closed, so this one is the only option. Especially when cycling around the lake and needing to refuel calories, it's a very valuable option. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that they have no desserts, other than an ice cream vending machine.

This high-quality super public bathhouse is wonderfully well-equipped and offers a particularly beautiful view from the bathing area. The standard bathing fee for a single adult is 740 yen, but it's over 200 yen cheaper after 5pm. Even if you come during the day, you can avoid the crowds, and the view from the bathing area is bright and beautiful, overlooking Lake Kasumigaura and the vast sky. There's also a small open-air bath, which is great. Meals, karaoke, and table tennis facilities are also available, so there's nothing to complain about. The staff are also friendly and helpful, and their customer service is perfect. Thank you for a wonderful bathing experience.

Local onsen with a view over the kasumigaura lake. 740 yens for adult. There are 2 large parkings. A quite satisfactory place according to Ibaraki standards. There is also a store inside the facility where customers can buy local products and craft.

The building isn’t new but they clean it well. The third floor is hot spring with beautiful view, the second floor is restaurant, food with reasonable price. The first floor is reception desk.
