Soratomo-ri of Higashidogo

A facility combining a bathing complex with Accommodation. Stay in a Room with an open-air Onsen bath and sauna, facing the mountains rather than the road. The bath water is silky and lotion-like, with a perfect temperature that pairs wonderfully with the sauna. The washing area is spacious, and the Room is long and narrow. The large public bath also offers plenty to enjoy: a pot bath, open-air Onsen bath, a reclining bath with about 1 cm of water depth, a carbonated bath, a groundwater (?) bath, an indoor electric bath, and a sauna—ideal for Onsen lovers. Conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from the station.

Arrived after 5 PM and relaxed on the comfortable restaurant sofa with a welcome drink of draft beer. Instantly shifted into relaxation mode. The bath, known for its skin-beautifying properties, left my skin smooth and refreshed. Each bath's temperature was displayed digitally, which delighted my wife who prefers lukewarm baths. Dinner was served one dish at a time to match our pace, accompanied by warm hospitality and detailed explanations from the staff. This was our first stay, but my wife and I are already planning to return as members next time.
