      “美肌の湯”

      お湯は本当に良かったです。露天風呂が狭いうえに混浴なのが残念。誰かが利用していると遠慮して入ってこないようなので貸切風呂的な感じでした。 タオル巻いて入るけど、肌蹴てくるので落ち着いて入れません。脱衣所も外から見えるし。周りに人がいない時間帯ならいいいかも。

      “露天風呂”

      お料理も個室で快適に美味しくいただきました。露天は景色がとても良かったのですが、混浴なので入りにくいです。時間入れ替え(15時から女性19時から男性など)にすれば、皆気兼ねなく入浴できるのではと思います。

      料理、部屋、部屋付きの露天風呂、申し分ありませんでした。館内風呂が少し狭かったので、ゆっくり浸かれなかったのが残念です。
