Yachi Onsen

I had visited the onsen several times for day trips and always wanted to stay overnight. Finally, I was able to stay this time. As expected, the onsen here is amazing! The simple sulfur spring, naturally flowing from the ground, with its milky white water offers both lukewarm and hot baths, making it so relaxing that you could soak in it forever. Since there’s no air conditioning, I wondered if it would be too hot when temperatures exceed 30°C. However, a fan was more than sufficient. Being sensitive to insects, I worried about horseflies flying around but didn’t see any during my stay. The room was clean and well-maintained; since I chose a room with a private toilet, it was quiet and comfortable for relaxation—a truly healing experience. As a sake lover, I also enjoyed some Dassai sake... absolutely delicious! This time was a solo trip; next time I’d like to visit with my husband. Thank you very much!

This is my second stay. I became captivated by the onsen here during my first visit, leading to a return within a year. The building shows its age, and I wasn't expecting much in terms of amenities or services, which were decent enough. However, the room was clean and satisfactory. The onsen with two baths—one warm and one lukewarm—is incredibly relaxing. During this stay in mid-April, the lukewarm bath (Reisen) in the women's section felt colder than before, making it slightly chilly and difficult to stay in for long. This might have been due to the surrounding temperature at that time. On the other hand, during hotter seasons, cooler water might feel more refreshing!
