Satorikan

This is a hot spring inn with sulfur water. It is located along the mountain and is a little far from the city. The building looks old. The front desk has been renovated, but the rooms have not been renovated much. I think it's a good hot spring for those who like sulfur spring quality, but other than that, there doesn't seem to be any special features or selling points. The dining room has also been renovated as well as the front desk. There are a lot of buffets these days, but this one was Japanese style. This was good for me personally. The bathroom wasn't often cleaned, and I was concerned that there was dust and algae.

I visited after learning that there was a day trip plan available for reservations the day before. It was an inn where you could enjoy the gentle flow of the Agano River from your room and bath. The room is an 8 tatami Japanese style room. The TV was small, but I was able to admire the view of the Agano River and greenery for a while. The baths were either indoor baths or hot spring baths, and the open-air baths were fed by emerald green sulfur spring water. Perhaps because there is a road across the river that can be seen from the open-air bath, there is a grayish translucent shield on the glass of the open-air bath. The view was one step lower than the room, but the color of the sulfur spring was beautiful during the day. I think that the darkening of the water in the bath is to some extent unavoidable due to the characteristics of sulfur springs. Lunch was served in a large, completely private room, and I was very satisfied with the variety of items. The soup stock in the bowl and the taste of the Saikyo-yaki were so delicious that I felt that the chef was very skilled.
