Immerse yourself in hot springs at this newly opened inn nestled in the mountains!

I took advantage of the nationwide travel support and stayed at Shionoyu Onsen Rengetsu❣️ A little less than 40 minutes by free shuttle bus from Nasu-Shiobara Station on the Shinkansen line, and checked in to this inn in the mountains on a special trolley! The steep descent was like an attraction and really got me excited about my trip♪ The hotel is new, so the facilities and specifications are modern. You have to carry your luggage yourself, and there is no stiff greeting from the landlady (this is a good thing, including during meals), and the young staff only give the bare minimum of guidance, without excessive service. Perhaps because check-in is in two shifts, the building and baths were not too crowded considering the number of rooms, so I was able to use them at my own pace. The breakfast and lobby were both nicely empty, probably due to the shifting hours, so I was able to spend my time there without any stress. The fact that the room had a coffee mill was also a plus😍 One of the joys of traveling is spending time differently than you normally would✨ And above all, this time I was on a last minute trip with the National Travel Support, and used a package tour with JR, so I ended up staying for about 10,000 yen, so I almost felt bad💦 #Accommodation #Hotspring #Hotspringryokan #Nasu-Shiobara #Roomwithopen-airbath #NationalTravelSupport #NewOpening #Staycation Address: 1340-3 Shiobara Shionoyu, Nasu-Shiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture, 329-2921 Atmosphere/Facilities: Casual and smart Recommended points: All rooms have open-air baths Average price: ¥30,000 (normal price for 2 people per room) Rating: Google review 4.3
