We went there in May 2023.The building is not a particularly clean inn, but the inside of the room is fine. The bathroom and toilet are the same as in a normal business hotel. Beds are comfortable. The hot springs are hot sulfur springs. Owner was kind and breakfast was generous and tasty. We need to ask for shampoo and soap at the reception. Overall the stay was good
