Saitoshimonoyu Hotel

A small ryokan standing right on a river in Miharu, with plain rooms, a dining room and a bath that day visitors (higaeri nyuyoku, 日帰り入浴) can use too. The bath is modest in size and usually not crowded, and the water is clear and quiet, with no sound of heavy flow. The building has an old Showa-era look that suits the setting, and cooling off on the riverbank after a soak is part of the visit. The approach road is narrow, so it is easier to arrive from the north side.
