This was my second time staying at Shiobara Shinyu Onsen, since I stayed at Shiobara Kogen Hotel before. The pH 2.6 acidic water is the best! The building is old, but the rooms have been renovated and are sparkling. Both breakfast and dinner meals are served in the room, which was very relaxing. I was impressed by the local wild vegetables such as butterbur, bracken, and udo! The amount of food was just enough to fill me up, and it was not too much for my age, which was helpful. Perhaps because the source is close, the ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) of the hot water outlet in the bath was 0 to -10 mV, which was a solid reduction type of water (actual measurement). However, no matter how many times I measured it in the bath, it was about 400 mV, and it was oxidized. Perhaps because the source temperature is high, they have no choice but to let a small amount of water flow, and it oxidizes by the time it flows into the bath? It's a bit disappointing. The staff's response was average, but I had a good impression of the Southeast Asian waitress. After arriving at the inn at 2:30 p.m., I had to wait in the lobby until exactly 3 p.m. It had been a long time since I'd had such an experience. Most inns allow you to check in early, but...
