  • We appreciate your f...

    We appreciate your flexibility in adjusting the meal time even when we couldn’t arrive as scheduled due to traffic.Regarding the large public bath, it closes at 9:30 a.m., so we would be grateful if it could stay open a little longer in the morning.Thank you for your courteous service.

  • Suimeiso is special.

    Whenever I visit Ureshino, I stay at Wataya Besso or Suimeiso.The atmosphere is wonderful, the hot springs are excellent, and the food is top-notch. The warm hospitality of the staff is also one of the reasons it feels so relaxing.The tenant tea salon “TSUBAKI” was as popular as expected, with a very comfortable vibe and a wide selection of cocktails that pair beautifully with tea.Perhaps because the area is quite humid, there were a few spots in the corridors with a slight musty smell, which was somewhat noticeable.It was also convenient—surprisingly close to the expressway interchange, and there are rental cars available at Arashi Station.
