Tsurumaki Onsen Motoyu Jinya(Accommodation available for ages 13 and above)

As expected of a long-established inn, the atmosphere is generally good, and the staff are polite and well-liked. Unfortunately, it rained on the day, and my wife didn't want to get her hair wet, so we had to cancel the private open-air bath that we had reserved for 45 minutes for 3,300 yen, which was very disappointing, but they listened carefully to our wishes and handled the cancellation properly, so we were grateful. So we used the shared large bath, but we were able to use it almost as if it was our own. The large bath for men and women has two baths, a slightly hot indoor bath and a slightly cooler open-air bath, both of which have a moist feeling that soothes the skin. By the way, if you book a meal course, day-use bathing is free. The lunch course is a reasonable price of 7,700 yen per person, but this is the minimum course. However, it was worth the price, and each dish looked beautiful, tasted good, and was plentiful, so we enjoyed it very much overall. After the meal, we took a stroll through the garden under the umbrellas provided, and looked around the building, checking out the location of the open-air bath and other furnishings. The hotel is filled with items that fans will covet, such as photos and colored paper of past shogi players, which are associated with the inn's hosting of a shogi title match. We'll definitely book a stay here on our next anniversary.
