Hirayu Onsen Private Hot Spring Nakamura Inn

We stayed here on the first day of our couple’s Onsen trip.Our Room was a spacious corner Room with mostly glass walls, offering great views. At night, there was a thunderstorm with a power outage and flashes of lightning, which really felt like a summer night. Both the open-air bath and the indoor bath were wonderful. We also enjoyed the delicious meals. Thank you very much.

Stayed in a “special-condition” Room.The Ryokan feels quite old, and the Room is also very dated. The toilet was in an unusual location. The walls seem thin, so noise from around you can be noticeable. It has a very retro Showa-era vibe. If you know what you’re booking, it’s not a problem. The reason for the “special condition” seemed to be that the air conditioning couldn’t be adjusted, but it wasn’t an issue at all.The open-air bath and large public bath were excellent. The Onsen is free-flowing from the source, and the water was amazing. It had a slight sulfur scent and a mild silky feel, leaving my skin a bit smoother. Some areas of the open-air bath floor were slippery—almost like an ice rink.Dinner had many dishes and I was completely full. The meat fat really packed a punch.Breakfast also had many dishes and I was very satisfied.Inside the building is a bit confusing—like a maze. The small game corner requires you to turn on the power yourself, and the shop had only a small selection of items.The service—from the front desk staff, parking attendant, and dining staff—was extremely friendly; I’d give it 100/100.There is also a footbath in front of the Ryokan.*The meal photos were taken before more dishes came out afterward.*
