No reservation can be made for the private pool. You need to wait outside until the other guest finish. Stunning view from my balcony, however the bathtub inside my room doesn’t provide hot spring. If it does, it would be perfect!

Kawayu Midoriya is a wonderful ryokan in the Kawayu Onsen area and it is a good base for you to travel to different attractions in the region. The staff were wonderful from check-in to check-out. Their outdoor onsen pools are spectacular as well (onsen yukata provided since it's a mixed gender one) The food is very good as well with variety of stuff you can pick from...
