Kita Onsen Ryokan Spa

I was taken care of. I wouldn't go there again.

Overall very good, deep mountain secret soup. Scenes from the Roman Baths

テルマエ・ロマエの舞台にもなった有名な温泉。 本音を言うと宿泊したかったのですがスケジュールの都合で泣く泣く日帰り利用になりました。でも日帰りでもいいんです。憧れの温泉の入れるのですから。 宿は車では直でいけないのが秘境感があってよいです。 徒歩で向かうことになるのですがその距離約400mほど。 奥日光の加仁湯などに比べれば距離的には大したことはありません。 視界の先に見えてきた北温泉はもうボロボロで廃墟かと思っちゃいましたよ（失敬） 自慢の温泉プールは水着着用なので事前に用意が必要です。 館内にあるお風呂場にはドーンと飾られている天狗面。 その大きさは超ド級です。 そしてお風呂の泉質が素晴らしかったです。 やはり温泉はこうでないと。 疲れにくい湯加減なので長湯もしやすかったです。 次回は宿泊をしてみたいですね。（家族は嫌がっていましたが）

It's unique and tasteful, but it lacks most of the services you'd find in a typical hotel. Most consumables and room fixtures must be brought in or purchased. More like a boarding house than a ryokan. There are no shampoo, conditioner, body soap in the bathroom, tissues in the room, bath towels, hand towels, or yukata. There is no washroom in the bathroom. There is a limit to the amount of water that can be flushed in the toilet. For the time being, it's a western-style toilet, but it's not very clean. The hot spring seems to be free-flowing, but there is something floating in it that I don't know if it's yunohana or algae. It doesn't feel clean. The hot spring was available 24 hours. At night, the inn's cat patrols the hotel. He is friendly. It's a unique and interesting ryokan, but I don't think there's a sense of cleanliness or service. You can experience Japan in the early Showa era or even earlier. If you want to sleep in a clean room with standard service, staying somewhere else and using it for a day trip might be the right answer.
