Nasu Nogahara Onsen Hotel Aoki

Despite being in the city center, the hot spring is 100% free-flowing from the source, with no added water and no heating.The water was excellent.Breakfast is free, so I expected it to be nothing special—but I was completely wrong. It was a substantial breakfast that made me wonder if it was really okay to offer it for free.There were welcome sweets, we even received bottled drinks before departure, and there were various games and activities available, so we never got bored during our stay and were very satisfied.

The building looks very old, both outside and inside. But although it’s old, it felt well cleaned, and we had no problems staying there at all. We made a Reservation for a spacious Room, and the kids were beyond excited.The food was incredibly delicious—so good that if we were going to eat out, we’d want to come here.The bath was extremely hot, but it left our skin smooth and felt great.The private baths are not by Reservation; there are two, and you can use them freely whenever one is available.We really appreciated that as well.There’s also table tennis, so the kids even begged us to spend more time at the Hotel next time.Both adults and children were satisfied.Maybe because it was during summer vacation, they even gave the kids sparklers, and some families were enjoying them outside.On our way out, they let us choose tea or water—it was a Hotel that made us want to come back again.Thank you very much.
