Ryokan Yamanoyu

Check-in at 15:00, check-out at 10:00. It took us about 5 minutes to get there from the bus stop. The room is spacious, cozy, the bed is very comfortable. There is a refrigerator and two kettles with cold and hot water in the room. After the hot springs, we slept like babies. The traditional dinner is very filling, we even refused the last dish. On the 5th floor there is a private onsen with a gorgeous view, you need to reserve in advance.

It was on the 4th floor, but it was nice that there was an elevator. I can speak English, but not Korean. The staff's English was a little hard to understand. I never encountered other guests while using the family bath or bathroom, so it was quiet and nice. The location is also right in the middle of the city.

The day before, I stayed at "Takefue" (please see the comments here), and on that day, I bought a hot spring bill on a sunny day and soaked in the open-air bath Kodama no Yu at Yamanoyu. Here we come♨ The 1,300 yen hot spring bill is valid for half a year, and it's a great value to put in your favorite 3 day trip hot springs. (laughs) I became the number one customer of the day 🙌 My wife and I went up to the top floor in the elevator, and furthermore, we passed through the rabbit's noren, and entered the Showa corridor... just like the world of Ghibli...・When you go up, there is a simple locker, and above it is "Kodama no Yu" ♨ The rock bath on the roof of the inn has good hot water, but it was very hot on this day even though it was early March. So if I'm not in the shadows, I'll be overwhelmed right away, and now I'm in a rush. This place was in the middle of the Kurokawa Onsen town, but there weren't many people there (although there were a lot of people from Korea that day), so I was able to relax (・∀・) Good!! Decided to go tomorrow and headed to the inn "Tsukiyaki" tonight♫(^^♪
