  I traveled with a 7-person delegation from Huntington Beach, California. We spent one night and I found everything wonderful. I felt the property and baths to be what I was expecting for such an old establishment. Its quirks were part of the property's wonder. Thank you

  I stayed at Shintakayu Onsen and Azumaya Ryokan. From the ropeway station to Tengendai Kogen, there is a gravel road that continues for about 1 kilometer on the exclusive road to Azumaya Ryokan. Although it is not impossible to go by car, it is a road that requires a certain level of driving skills. This Azuma-ya Ryokan seems to be more popular among mountain climbers, skiers, and hot spring enthusiasts than general tourists visiting for sightseeing. This is an inn run by the Japan Secret Hot Springs Protection Association. When I pulled into the parking lot, the hostess greeted me. As expected, it is an inn for a secret hot spring party. You will be guided inside with your luggage. A wood stove is burning in the lobby. It's the second half of April, but there's still some snow here, so it's perfect. Once you've calmed down, let's head to the bathroom. First, let's start with the outdoor bath. By the way, the ``Genryu Takimi Open-air Bath'' where you can see the waterfall is located further up the mountain, so there is still snow on the ground, and when I asked about it, I was told that it would not be possible to enter it until the end of May. disappointing. As you pass through the thick wooden gate named Shoryumon, there are open-air baths on both sides. On the right is the ``chestnut root bath,'' which is a bathtub carved out of a 300-year-old chestnut tree. On the left is the ``open-air bath with a view'' where you can take a bath while looking out at the mountains. Looking at the hot spring analysis report, the spring quality is ``calcium-sulfate hot spring (hypotonic neutral high temperature spring).'' It becomes slightly cloudy and has a faint scent of sulfur. Perhaps the amount of hot spring water used in the open-air bath is a bit small, and the temperature of the bathtub is about 40℃, which is a good temperature for a long bath. There is "Private source 1126" on the right side of the entrance. There is no need to make a reservation, and there is a sign outside the door that says if you don't have footwear, please take off your sandals and other shoes when using the facility. This bathtub is also carved out of a large tree. After taking a breather, I will take a bath in the indoor bath. The indoor bath is quite hot because the hot spring water is pumped into it from a wooden tub. It feels like it's about 43 degrees Celsius. Add plenty of hot water and get in. Well, the open-air bath is heated and you can soak in it slowly while looking at the scenery, but the indoor bath is quite hot, so you will have to go in and out several times. The hot water is nice and crisp. White hot spring ingredients are collected at the bottom of the bathtub, and you can see the concentration of the ingredients. This time's stay was a modest plan for a mini-hot spring treatment, so the food wasn't luxurious, but it was more than enough with Yonezawa beef grilled on a ceramic platter and seasonal mountain delicacies. I was accompanied by a glass of local Yonezawa Toko Ginjo Namazake. The next morning, I woke up with the crisp hot water in the indoor bath, thoroughly enjoyed the Haruyama air, and left the inn.

  I have stayed in this ryokan on two separate occasions during the autumn because the foliage is SO good around here. They have several baths, including a couple of outdoor baths with incredible views. They also make delicious meals which they bring to your room. If you don't speak Japanese, booking here may be tough. If you can speak Japanese, this place is a hidden gem. I like to take a nice long hike downhill into the little hot spring village to try out the local baths and have some noodles in what appears to be the only food in town.

  Several nice rotenburo, and the room is nice, not smelling like cigarettes. Free Wi-Fi. I have no signal on Docomo, but my wife has one bar on Softbank. The dinner with Yonezawa-gyuu is great; just be careful of bones in the fish. All the rotenburo are women-only 18:30-20:01, but otherwise all but one are konyoku. Breakfast is traditional, so you might want to bring a little of your own, if you don't know what that means. Cash only; no credit cards.
