Natural Onsen Hostel Hidamari no Yu

Very authentic and traditional sort of spa hotel. It’s a local experience for sure, and a different one compared to western hotels. I knew this beforehand, so there were no surprises. What you see is what you get, and I personally enjoyed the experience. The restaurant food was actually very good (unlike what some reviews suggested). The onsen was great. The staff at the front desk spoke very good english. It’s no frills, but I quite enjoyed that and doesn’t deserve the low rating it has, as it is nowhere as bad as some reviews make it out to be. Would definitely recommend if you want to experience something different to the typical western style hotel.

The bunks don’t have curtains, which would have been nice for the some privacy. Not many plugs in the room, but the common area downstairs has one under every seat. Sadly, the weekend price is a bit higher than the weekday price (weekday price is very fair for what you get), so be sure to book multiple nights from Friday onwards.

early bath from 7am was great

the outdoor bathing area was ... not operational.

夜中３時チェックアウトが従業員出入り口から、何とかスムーズに出来た。

かろうじてテレビだけがある、せんべい布団…！ひとり1000円くらいの価値。

リピターなので精神的にもユッタリ過ごす事が出来ました!

食事のメニューが変わり映えしない。 週変わりでも良いので新しいメニューを お願い致します！

Nice staff!! It was a cold day and the room was warm, good onsen+rest area+restaurant!!

ない

全く無し！！！ 古い施設なのに、最低限の清潔さがない！ 飲食では、提供が遅すぎる、最低です！！
