Hotel Monzen no Yu

You can use the neighboring Onsen as many times as you like from check-in to check-out.The baths were open from 6:30 a.m., so I could also enjoy a morning bath!!The Room is small, but since it’s No Meals Included, it was more than enough!Even though it was inexpensive, towels and loungewear were included, which I really appreciated!

This is an Accommodation attached to an Onsen Facility. I came by local bus from Naoetsu Station, but the bus service (Route 6: Tomioka Line) is infrequent, so the location felt a bit inconvenient. If you view it as a budget-focused Accommodation with good value for money, it’s a very good place.After check-in you change into slippers, so the building and Room were fairly clean. I stayed in the main building with No Meals Included, and it is connected to the Onsen Facility by a corridor, which was convenient.However, having to take off your slippers when entering the Onsen Facility (and there’s no guarantee your own slippers will still be there when you return) was a hassle. Also note that you need a 100-yen coin for the changing-room lockers, which is easy to forget.The Onsen had a strong “hot spring” feel and I was satisfied. It was very crowded both at night and in the morning, so it wasn’t relaxing, but that’s not what this type of Accommodation is about—overall I was satisfied.
