Seiryuso

The hotel is incredibly accessible and very clean! The staff are also incredibly friendly! I chose this hotel because of the large public bath on the third floor, and I'm absolutely delighted. Parking is available at one of the three affiliated parking lots for just 1,200 yen per day! Perhaps because it's relatively new, the accommodations are in excellent condition!

This hot spring inn is located in Kikuchi Onsen. It also offers drop-in bathing, and the family bath seems very popular. I stayed here this time. While the building and rooms are generally dated, both the indoor and outdoor baths are filled with alkaline simple spring water, which flows freely without adding water or heating, making it very nice. The design of the outdoor bath and the detached building in particular are reminiscent of Kurokawa Onsen and other hidden hot spring inns, making it a very pleasant experience. Dinner and breakfast are also outstanding for an inn of this class. We were able to enjoy them in a private room. Considering the price, this is a very satisfying inn.
