Crane Hotel Takajo

I wonder why there is a hotel in such a place, but I guess it's only possible if you mainly travel by car. There is a convenience store right in front of the hotel, and there are also a few restaurants from noon to dinner, so you can have a drink in the evening. There aren't many, but there is a restaurant within walking distance that sells delicious chicken, and it's cheap but delicious.It may be rude to say it was unexpected, but I was very satisfied. To be honest, the hotel is in a dilapidated condition, but there is a hot spring in the room. And the quality of this spring is quite amazing. The large public bath is different, but there is a lot of added water and the scent and texture are not good. When you turn on the hot water faucet in your room, piping hot spring water will come out, so you will need to store it in the bathtub and let it cool down for 1-2 hours before entering. The scent of the hot spring fills the room and it feels good. In my room, the rubber of the bathtub stopper had deteriorated, probably due to the hot spring ingredients, and the water could not be filled properly. I made full use of soap and a plastic bag to make the stopper work, and I filled it up before going to bed, and the next morning I added piping hot spring water to the cooled hot spring water and was able to create a 100% hot spring at just the right temperature. The bath in the room is small, and the bathtub is small, but the amount of hot water is plentiful, so it fills up quickly. In this way, something that would probably get a low rating in terms of reviews because it was inconvenient and a bit of a hassle, ended up being quite satisfying. My skin was smooth and felt great all day. The chicken izakaya was also delicious and I would like to stay there again. There is also a large public bath, but water has been added to it to lower the temperature, so it is quite diluted as a hot spring. There is almost no scent. There's no view or anything in the small bathroom in the old room that isn't clean, but all you have to do is close your eyes and imagine it. We recommend taking a bath in your room. I was satisfied even with my eyes open. Only hot spring water comes out of the faucet. The water is fresh water, but there is no fresh hot water. So if you don't like hot springs, you shouldn't stay here. I like hot springs, so this is fine. Even though the room is old, it doesn't feel unclean and the bed is not uncomfortable. A strong hot spring gushes into the room. As expected from Oita. There seem to be hotels like this nearby. As you drive by, you'll come across several signs for hotels and other facilities that say they are natural hot springs. If you dig it, it will spring up. It would be nice if you could list and compare the ingredients of each store's spring quality.
