About a 2-hour trip by bus transfers from Kinugawa Onsen Station.
I was hesitant because I’d be traveling by public transportation and worried about the transfers, but I decided to make a Reservation and spent my summer vacation here alone.
I reserved a Room in the main building with shared washbasin and toilet, and it was well maintained and very clean.
The baths included an indoor bath and a women’s open-air bath, and I also tried the mixed-gender bath while wrapped in a bath towel.
The bath near the waterfall felt immersive and was great, but the stairs are steep, so please be careful at night.
Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, made with local ingredients.
It seems you can get refills of rice, but there was no 안내; I would have appreciated being told.
At night, a cricket (?) appeared in my Room, and I looked for insect spray but couldn’t find any…
There’s no internal phone to reach the front desk from the Room, and the front desk is only open until 20:00...
There were also unfamiliar bugs on the window screen—if you’re afraid of insects, summer might be tough.
