Ichinoyu Honkan – valokuvat

Ichinoyu is an inn in the historic Tonosawa Hot Springs. The ryokan has such a long history that it is even depicted in the ukiyoe prints displayed in the hallway leading to the bathhouse. The building and the rooms are both old. The wooden frames of the windows and the water features are retro, probably made in the Taisho and Showa eras. However, the rooms are located along the river and have a tasteful atmosphere. The rooms are well cleaned. The hot spring is an indoor bath only. There are no showers, so you have to use a hand tub to draw hot water from the source and wash your body. The quality of the hot spring water is gentle and very nice as you soak in it while listening to the sound of the river. There are no toilets in the rooms, and you have to use the shared toilets on each floor. You can get amenities from the front desk by yourself. The bedding is also pulled out by the guests themselves. The main meals are sashimi, shabu-shabu, and boiled fish. The food was delicious. After finishing the meal, they let the children play with a machine, which is very child-friendly. this inn is good for people who can sleep with the sound of the river and enjoy the old facilities with a sense of the past. 歴史ある塔ノ沢温泉の宿、一の湯。 浴場に至る廊下に掲げられた浮世絵にも描かれるほど、歴史のある旅館だ。 建物も部屋も歴史があるといえばそれまでだが、とにかく古い。大正、昭和の作りだろう、窓の木枠や水回りにレトロを感じる。だが部屋が川沿いで風情がある。掃除は行き届いている。温泉は内湯のみ。シャワーがなく手桶で源泉のお湯を汲んで身体を洗う。川の音を聞きながらつかる温泉のお湯の質は優しくすごくいいも思う。 部屋にトイレ無し、各階の共用トイレを使う。アメニティもフロントから自分で取っていくスタイル。お布団も自分でひくシステムだ。 ご飯はお刺身としゃぶしゃぶ、魚の煮付けがメイン。普通に美味しかった。食べ終わったら子供用にガチャガチャを回させてくれ、子連れにも優しい。 川の音も気にせず寝れる人。古い設備も昔を感じながら楽しめる人。過度のサービスよりコスパを優先する人にはおすすめできる宿でした。
