Hishino Onsen Yakushikan

The building has a retro feel, with a cave-like interior bath that gives off an early Showa/Taisho period vibe. However, the ceiling of the passageway was covered in mold and some parts were missing. The bathroom was also covered in moss, and I wondered if it was ever cleaned. There were three bathtubs, 41℃/32℃/14℃ (cold water), and I realized the unexpected effectiveness of the cold bath, but the water at 32℃ was not circulating and I felt uncomfortable, so I hesitated to soak in it. There is an outdoor bath called "Kumonosuke" that can be accessed by cable car from Tokiwakan, which is a few minutes' walk away, and it is free to enter, but other than the view, there was nothing particularly impressive about it. The worst part was the food, and I couldn't help but think that it was only 20,000 yen per night for the amount and quality. Especially the breakfast, it was so good that I could make it much more delicious in a short time if I made it myself. The employees were all students, so they didn't even greet me. The person in charge of food seemed to be the owner, but he was completely alone and left the customers alone. He was also not very friendly. I think they should think a little about how they run the place and how they manage it. A return visit is unfortunately not possible.
