“Great and quiet place to stay for all”
A fantastic place! I’d recommend staying 2‑3 nights. The onsen was the best I’ve ever had. The staff were nice and helpful. The beds were good, the house was clean and traditional with a modern TV, AC and a small fridge. Wi‑fi worked well. Breakfast was Japanese‑style, very traditional. It feels like locals use it a lot, but foreigners like me don’t need to be obsessed with Japanese culture to enjoy it. In the onsen you bathe naked, men and women are separated, so no swimwear is needed. Onsen hours are 15 to 22:30; come early because there’s no open onsen in the morning. A taxi from Shizuka station costs about ¥4000. There’s a food court and other eateries, but I’d recommend buying something you like in town just in case—there are no konbinis, only vending machines with lemonade. Don’t buy alcohol; drunk people can’t access the onsen and are awful. The hotel is 10/10, I’ll come back. There’s also a great museum there, free for guests. The downside was that the bath in my room was too hot and there was no way to adjust the temperature. Remember, you go to the great bath to relax for a couple of hours, not to cook shrimp in 20 minutes. Also, onsen shoes in larger sizes, like EUR 45‑47, would be better; the ones I had were maybe 40.
