Obuseonsen Akebi-No-YU

This is a hot spring facility where you can take a day trip to the hot spring and stay overnight. Akebi-no-Yu is the only hot spring inn in Obuse, offering a spectacular view of the Northern Alps, the Hokushin Five Mountains, and Zenkojidaira. First, when I went to the bath area, I could smell sulfur. When I first went to the open-air bath, the water was cloudy. The indoor bath was a strange greenish color. I thought the bathtub had green tiles. After we meet up, are the open-air baths and indoor baths different hot springs? That's what he said. According to the inn's brochure, the hot springs appear in a variety of colors depending on the climate, from clear and colorless to green to cloudy. Since this is a day trip hot spring, only shampoo-in-rinse shampoo and body soap are available. There are no amenities in the washroom area. In the room I stayed in, there was a bag containing small cosmetics, conditioner, brush, toothbrush, etc. When I went to take a bath the next morning after 6 o'clock, there were quite a few people coming back for the day. Since it was a Sunday morning, I thought not many people would come to the day trip hot springs even after 6 o'clock, but they started coming one after the other. That's surprising. I think that's how good the hot springs are. Well, the room was a simple Western room, but it was spacious and had a spectacular view of the mountains from the window of the room. In the room I stayed in, there was a bag containing small cosmetics, conditioner, brush, toothbrush, etc. We had dinner in a large private Japanese-style room. It looked good, tasted good, and went well with local sake. The fried food was fried rockfish with black vinegar sauce, and since most of the rockfish were eaten grilled whole, it was unique and delicious because you could eat it from the head on. The one I had was grilled chicken on a ceramic plate with Shinshu miso, and it was a combination of sweet and salty miso and butter. The most expensive local sake was 890 yen (300cc), which I was happy about. The local sake from Obuse was delicious. The person in charge of the restaurant had very good customer service. We also had breakfast in a private room. The rice was delicious and the quantity was good, and we were served coffee at the end. It was an accommodation with good hot springs, a spectacular view of the mountains, delicious food, and good hospitality.
