Ashino Onsen Hotel

I stayed overnight with my wife at this alkaline hot spring. The hotel is surrounded by a grove of trees, and there are nothing around except related facilities. The hot springs are source-fed (heated) in three of the five baths for men and women, and the two baths for the herbal baths were pooled water. The Uchi no Yu baths, one for men and one for women, are source-fed. There are two springs, both alkaline with a pH of around 9.0, and the Tsuru no Yu bath was especially slimy. The herbal baths include Nagi no Yu and Nami no Yu, which contain herbal medicines. Nagi no Yu is stimulating and tingly, so if you have sensitive skin, we recommend that you start with Nami no Yu. There are also lymphatic and foot massages available in the building. The room we used was on the third floor of the main building and had two tatami beds. It was not new, but it was kept clean, quiet, and relaxing. The meals were mainly country cuisine, which was healthy and delicious. In addition, most of the guests were elderly. Perhaps because of this, a Showa era pop song show was held in the lobby in the evening. This is a recommended hotel for seniors who love hot springs!
