The hot spring is odorless, transparent, and slightly warm, making it comfortable. The changing rooms and other areas of the building are air-conditioned. The foot bath costs 200 yen, and the bath itself is 600 yen. There is only soap provided, no shampoo or body wash. There is also an open-air bath, and it is on the river side, so it is well ventilated. It had been a while since my last visit, but it was a great experience. You can also take a day trip to the national guesthouse across the river for the same price.

This is a small hot spring located next to a very peaceful river. The open-air bath is lukewarm and comfortable, and although there is only one indoor bath, it is nice. I had heard that there was an open-air bath, but I found a bath along the river that was hidden and had no changing room. It is visible from the road, but the location was so good I couldn't resist going in. There were no people around at all, so it was a great feeling. I would like to come again.

I came here because an acquaintance told me that this is a genuine hot spring that flows directly from the source. It is said to be 42°C all year round, so it felt a little hot in the middle of summer. The view of the river from the bath and the breeze blowing across the river were both pleasant. The atmosphere, which felt like a time trip, was also soothing. The Kishikawa Dairy coffee milk I had after the bath was also exceptional.
