We stayed at Saito Ryokan, a family-run hot spring inn. Although the building of the inn is not new, it was kept very clean inside.
From the chair by the window, you can see the mountain range and hear the birds chirping.
There are indoor and outdoor hot springs. It was a hot spring that relaxed you to the core of your body.
If you drink sake after taking a bath, you will get drunk quickly.
Good night.
I left after eating breakfast.
