Taishoya Shiibasanso

I finally got to visit Ureshino Onsen, which I’d been wanting to go to for a long time!I stayed with two female friends, making three of us.It rained that day, and we got a bit lost on the mountain roads before arriving—I was glad we didn’t get there too late at night.The Room was spacious enough even for three people.The cypress bath in the Room was wonderful—I lost count of how many times I used it.We also really enjoyed the large public bath!We couldn’t use the facilities over at Taishoya this time, so I definitely want to come back!The spring water quality was truly silky and lotion-like—an Onsen I absolutely loved.For meals, the tofu at breakfast was delicious, and the sesame soy sauce topping was amazing too!It had just the right amount of privacy, and all the staff were so kind—thank you very much.

This trip was with classmates in our late 60s. We travel together every year and enjoy staying at different inns. Everything about this inn—the staff, the facilities, and the hot springs—was excellent. However, for people our age, the A5 Saga beef shown in the photos, while probably expensive, was very fatty and felt heavy on the stomach. Since many guests are older as well, it might be appreciated if you could offer a leaner cut of meat as an option. Also, while the beds in the room were comfortable, the futons (non-bed bedding) were very thin; everyone who slept on them said their lower back hurt the next morning. Given how nice the room is overall, I think it would be worth upgrading the floor futons to something more supportive.
