Araki Kousen Ryokan (Japanese-Style Hotel)

Fabulous! A bathtub with spring waters in the room is simply bliss. The Japanese style breakfast is very beautiful and tasty. Attentive and respectful attitude of the hotel owners. We are delighted.

・I used the private bath for 1 hour (3,300 yen). ・Arakikosen is a hot spring inn in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. ・When you stay overnight, you can also use rooms with open-air baths, which makes it an attractive inn. ・It is also possible to use the baths for day trips, so this time I was able to soak in the hot springs in a private bath for a day trip. ・Of course, it seems that you can also use the large public bath for day trips. There is only one private bath for day trips, so we recommend that you call in advance to check before visiting. By the way, it seems that you cannot make a reservation for a private bath. ・If you are driving, go up Prefectural Route 11 (Kumagaya Ogawa Chichibu Line) from the direction of Seibu Chichibu Station, and there is a sign on the way, so turn left there to find it. If you are using public transportation, take a bus from Seibu Chichibu Station on the Seibu Chichibu Line for about 20 minutes, get off at the Kinshoji stop, and it is about a 3-minute walk from there. ・The interior is made of good old wood, and the interior has a very atmospheric feel, with a hearth that suits it. Even for day trips, this is an exciting time. Borrow a key from the front desk and head to the private bath. The dressing room is a little small, but there is enough space for a family of four to change clothes. Body soap, conditioner, shampoo, and hair dryers are all provided, so as long as you bring your own towels, you won't have any problems. Even if you forget your towel, you can purchase one on site for 330 yen. The kettle is made of granite with a diameter of 150 cm. When you open the door, the unique smell of the hot spring wafts through the air, which gets you excited. It is an indoor bath, not an open-air bath, but there are large windows, so you can enjoy the view outside while soaking in the hot spring. In fact, even if it rains, you can open the window and enjoy the sound of the rain while enjoying the hot spring without getting rained on! There are probably many people who think this way. The hot spring is called "Miyo no Yu" and was founded in 1827! It is a very old establishment. The spring source is a simple sulfur cold spring, heated to a temperature of about 15°C. The water feels smooth on the skin, is also known as "*water" and is known to have beauty benefits. We also really enjoyed the smooth feel of the water. ・Chichibu is a place where you can enjoy a bit of the countryside in Saitama Prefecture. Whether you visit for a day trip or for an overnight stay, you can enjoy this wonderful hot spring at Araki Onsen. Why not stop by and check it out?
