Hotel Mikiyoshino Annex

Although it is not a natural Onsen, I was able to relax at night in the open-air bath while viewing the moon. Since the baths are not by Reservation, whether you can use them when you want depends on timing. As I was alone, I managed to get into the private pot bath at just the right time, but for families that would be difficult; it might be better to offer real-time occupancy information or introduce a Reservation system.

I’d been hoping to stay in a larger Room, and the Wisteria Room happened to be available on my days off, so I made a Reservation for two nights. Relaxing on the first floor and sleeping upstairs truly feels luxurious. I was able to take my time in the bath, and it looks like the sauna that was under construction over the New Year holidays has now been newly added—making it an even better place to stay in without going out. It seems like this Room can be hard to book, but I’ll definitely come back again.
