The hotel uses Zashiki Warashi as a selling point, which is very interesting, and the decoration also makes people feel as if Zashiki Warashi will actually appear.

I dropped in to try out the onsen before staying in December. It's a comfortable inn that has been completely renovated. The building is a mix of Japanese and Western styles, and has a nice feel. I changed into slippers, paid the 500 yen bathing fee, and visited the Loquat Room (I'm a bit slow, so I didn't notice it), then went to the hot spring. There was a 100 yen return locker for valuables in the changing room, so it was safe. There were nine baskets available, but it seemed like it would be full for four adults. The bathtub didn't have the atmosphere of a large bath, and people shared it and took a quiet bath. The open-air bath was nice and sunny, so I wanted to take a long bath. After warming up, I visited the backyard shrine, left the inn, and climbed a small hill to visit Kindaichi Shrine (the sacred object was under repair, so the door was closed). It was a quiet hot spring resort.
