      “I want to go back.”

      Anyway, everything was extraordinary. The hot spring baths and the food were excellent. I will never forget the handmade cooked beans by the proprietress, the hot spring porridge, and the brown rice rice balls for dinner.

      “Excellent”

      Out from an outer space, this ryokan seems a 100% japanese style, with a few leaflet or staff for foreign travellers. Like a no man's land hidden deep in the forest mountains, it provides nevertheless a real sens of comfort, space, pays attention to food q

      “やはり風呂が一番”

      泡の湯の名の通り、一番のおすすめは泡の風呂。TVやポスターなどで混浴の露天風呂が有名で、とてもいいけれど、内風呂のちょっとぬるめの泡の湯が最高。何度も入りました。
