I was looking for an inn with free-flowing hot springs, a place with a bath in the room, and preferably a nice view, and I found it.
It was a long holiday and the only one available was a mountain hut (an independent building like an outbuilding), and this was a hit!
Although it is an older type, there is a toilet with a warm water bidet, a TV and Wi-Fi. There is also a refrigerator/freezer. A bright washstand may not be fashionable, but it is easy to use.
You can see the sea from your room and have a balcony? There was a clean wooden table and chairs, and my husband, who smokes a little, could relax there while looking out at the sea and sky.
There is a small rock bath exclusive to the mountain villa right below, and you can use it as much as you like during the night while staying at the natural hot spring. The temperature can also be adjusted if you ask.
We do not have yukatas, but for an additional 300 yen you can rent comfortable pajamas made of waffle fabric with separate top and bottom. It feels good on your skin after bathing, and the stairs leading to and from the hot springs are easy to walk. Thanks to this, I was able to take a bath many times with ease.
It was raining when we arrived, but I was surprised when my wife ran up to the car with an umbrella.
On the way home, the host saw me off until he was out of sight.
Meals are served in your room.
They deliver the freshly made food frequently.
We didn't have any options for dinner, but the taste and quantity was just right for women and seniors.
If you want to eat a lot, you can ask about it by replying to the reservation confirmation email from the inn.
Alcohol includes bottled beer, craft beer, sake, and soft drinks. It's a reasonable price. I entered the main building only when checking out, but there didn't seem to be any vending machines.
In the morning, you will have Western food, and the server will bring you coffee, orange juice, and milk for drinks.
The big piping hot croissants are full of butter and delicious!
I took my time looking at the bright sea and sky from the window of the mountain hut, and after the meal, I took another hot spring bath.
There was a waterfall right next to the mountain hut, so there was beautiful moss growing there, but neither the room nor the private bath smelled like mold at all, and I was impressed by how well they were cleaned and maintained.
The bath and mountain hut can only be accessed by stairs, so it may not be suitable for people with mobility issues.
Access from the national highway is a paved road, but it is narrow so please be careful.
