Shiobara Onsen Kouunsou

This is my third stay in this area. Honestly, the entrance felt a bit old, so I didn’t have high expectations until entering the room, but the room was clean and spacious. The bath was great with an open-air bath and sauna of just the right size and temperature to my liking. Above all, the meals were extremely satisfying. I usually go for buffets, but this time there were many dishes that were carefully prepared and filling. For breakfast, I even had seconds of rice and left completely full. Next time, I’d like to try a plan with meat dishes!

The Onsen was excellent. The large public bath is not very spacious, but it’s manageable if guests are considerate of each other. However, the unusual shape of the shower caused some inconvenience as the person next to me kept splashing water my way. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and I finished everything without leaving a bite. My companion also enjoyed the Onsen and mentioned wanting to return during next year’s autumn foliage season.
