(Translated by Google) A hot roadside station in the mountains. It's adjacent to a campsite. The atmosphere is more like a campground store than a roadside station. During business hours, you can use a clean restroom, but after business hours, there is only a small restroom (Japanese-style room) across the road. It was dark and scary at night lol It will be closed for the winter from early November until spring. It was beautiful because it was in the mountains with nothing around. (Original) 山間にあるホツンの道の駅。 キャンプ場とかに隣接してるので 道の駅と云うより、キャンプ場の売店と言った雰囲気。 営業時間中はキレイなトイレを使えますが終了後は道路を渡った小さいトイレ(和室)のみ。 夜はまっくらで怖かったですw 11月上旬より春まで冬季休業とのこと。 周りに何もない山の中なので🍁はキレイでした。

(Translated by Google) Speaking of Old Shingo Village, it is the place where Aomori's proud ``Christ's Tomb'' is located. Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's a tourist destination that you can enjoy, including the pyramids. The roadside station here seems to have been somewhat influenced by that legend, giving you a feel of Japan's Twilight Zone. lol (Original) 旧新郷村と言えば青森が誇る「キリストの墓」があるところ。 真偽はともかくピラミッドがあったりと楽しめる観光地。 ここの道の駅毛その伝説に多少なりとも影響を受けている模様、日本のトワイライトゾーンを感じて下さい。笑

(Translated by Google) Stopped in for a solo trip. Although it was after 4pm It was quiet. There is also a campsite attached. It's a roadside station with an atmosphere. Sales offices have also begun to be cleaned up. I'm a little disappointed, I'll go home soon. The atmosphere was full (lol) I didn't think it was a very pleasant station. (Original) ソロツーで立ち寄る。 夕方4時過ぎではあったが 閑散としていたな。 キャンプ場も併設で中々 雰囲気の有る道の駅だが 販売所なども片づけ始めていて 一寸残念、さっさと帰っての 雰囲気が充満していた(笑) 余り気持ち良い駅とは思わなかった

(Translated by Google) The fresh caramel was delicious! If you haven't had it yet, please give it a try. You'll fall in love with it at first glance. Be careful not to eat too much! 🤣 The toilet feels like it has been renovated and is new and clean. The village soul festival will be held all night long on October 29th, but I am disappointed that I will not be able to participate. The Mexican tacos and warm soup at the festival stall, Gonohe, were the most delicious. (Original) 生キャラメルは美味しかった!食べたことがなければ、是非試してみてください。一口惚れになります。 食べ過ぎ注意を!🤣 トイレはリフォームされた感じ、新しくて綺麗です。 一夜限りの村魂祭は10月29日徹夜でパティーしますが、参加できなくて残念。 祭りの出店、五戸にあるメキシコ料理のタコスと暖かいスープは一番美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I visited the roadside station stamp rally again in 2022! It was possible to eat in the building next door, but we didn't have time this time. I'm curious about the braised ramen. Last year I bought fresh caramel, This time I bought some yogurt to drink! It was rich and delicious. (Original) 2022年に引き続き道の駅スタンプラリーで訪問しました! お隣の建物で食事できるようでしたが、今回は時間があいませんでした。角煮ラーメンが気になります。 昨年度は生キャラメルを買いましたが、 今回は飲むヨーグルトを買わせてもらいました!濃厚でおいしかったです。

(Translated by Google) No matter when I go, it's not lively... Is that the TV playing from the speakers? radio? …… There must be something else... I could make it into a talk style and give information about sightseeing in Shingo. There are various facilities, but they are deserted and I don't know if they are still running. Even the ice cream was not very good, and more needs to be done in the way it is served. A long time ago, an old lady used to sell okara donuts, and they were delicious. But I quit a few years ago. I'm sorry. There is a lack of study and ability on the part of Shingo Village's administrators. Not only the roadside station, but the entire Shingo area is half-finished and very disappointing. The toilet was clean. Add 2023.10 I stopped by for the first time in 3 or 4 years. Special rich soft serve ice cream from Shingo. It looks terrible. Special concentration? Where? Ordinary soft serve ice cream with a slightly salty taste... I had high hopes for Shingo's milk and yogurt because it was really delicious, but I was disappointed⤵️ (Original) いつ行っても活気がない… スピーカーから流れているのは、テレビ?ラジオ?…… 他になんかあるでしょう… トーク調にして、新郷の観光案内してもいいんだし。 色々な施設があるが寂れていて、やってるかも分からない状態。 せっかくの アイスもパッとしないし、提供の仕方にもっと工夫が必要。 昔、おばあさんがおからドーナツを売ってたんですが絶品でした。ですが数年前に辞めてしまった。残念です。 新郷村の運営者達の勉強、能力不足です。道の駅だけではなく、新郷全体が中途半端で非常に勿体ないです。 トイレは綺麗になってました。 追 2023.10 3、4年ぶりに寄りました。 新郷産特濃ソフトクリーム。 見た目がショボい。 特濃? どこが? ちょっと塩味が効いた普通のソフトクリーム… 新郷の牛乳と飲むヨーグルトはすごく美味しいから期待したんだけど、がっかり⤵️

Marin Side Spa Taneichi

Mentioned on 
Japanese inn
Nature & Parks
Marin Side Spa Taneichi is a relaxed hotel situated by the ocean, providing simple rooms with tatami floors, in addition to a restaurant/cafe. The amiable staff makes it an ideal place for an overnight stay or to take advantage of the bath which is open from early morning until late at night and costs 450 yen for non-hotel guests. The rooms are pristine and offer complimentary Wi-Fi services.
Friendly staff, good spot to stay the night or just take a bath (bath is 450 yen for non-hotel guests, open from early morning til late at night). Rooms are clean and there’s free wifi. Restaurant on the ground floor serves food in the evening too (e.g. Ramen, Teishoku, etc). If you’re hiking the Michinoku Coastal Trail, you can get a 1,500 yen discount on your room by calling ahead and then showing some form of proof that you’re a hiker (e.g. your Michinoku Trail passport book). There’s also a massage place upstairs for anyone with sore muscles, open to non-hotel guests too - I got a 30 minute massage after 50 days of walking the Michinoku trail and it was incredible!👍

Very basic English spoken by patient, friendly staff. A local onsen with rooms on G/F (onsen on 3/F and restaurant on 2/F). Gracious discount for hikers hiking the MCT trail (¥6000 2 meals) showing proof of hiking pass. Rooms are a bit older (was built around 35 years ago), but clean and tidy. East facing, with no black out curtains, so plan to wake up early! Onsen has three baths and sauna and is busy with locals in evening. Food is so-so. 5 min. walk to station (entrance on hotel side of tracks) - Google maps is inaccurate about station entrance!

(Translated by Google) It is a place to take a hot spring while looking at the Pacific Ocean. The hot springs have a large bath at 43 ° C and 41 ° C, a medicinal bath at 41 ° C, a sauna and a cold bath. The sauna can only accommodate about 4 people. When I went, there were two people who wanted to see sumo wrestlers, so it was quite small. There is a shampoo and body soap provided, so it is good to put in just one towel. The washing area is not so large with about 10 seats. But the problem is that I don't have a place to sit. People in Iwate prefecture are said to be kind, but they are all selfish. By all means, he seemed to be a regular, and he was talking, "Are you coming today?" I really wanted to throw those bath utensils. If you look around the store and take a place, I think it's better to charge an additional fee. (Original) 太平洋を見ながら温泉に入れる場所です。温泉は43℃、41℃の大浴場、41℃の薬風呂とサウナと水風呂があります。サウナは、4人くらいしか入れないです。私が行った時は、お相撲さん見たいな人が2人入って来たので、かなり狭かったです。 備え付けのシャンプーとボディソープがあるのでタオル1枚だけでも入れるのは良い。 洗い場は10席程でそんなに広くないです。けど問題なのは、場所取りして座れる場所がありません。岩手県の人は優しいと言いますが、全然自分勝手な人ばかりです。どう見ても常連さんみたいで、『今日も来てるのか』と話していたので。マジでそいつらの風呂道具をぶん投げてやりたかったです。店側も見回って、場所取りしてたら、追加料金を取った方が良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) I used it for a day trip bath. I think that many local people use it. As a matter of course, the washroom is reserved by the basket of the local people. All the washrooms had baskets of local people, so when I started using the washroom where the baskets were placed, I was yelled at by the person who seemed to be the owner of the basket. It's supposed to be forbidden to take places. . . (Original) 日帰り入浴で利用しました。 地元の方の利用が多いと思います。 洗い場は当たり前のように地元の方のカゴで場所取りがされています。すべての洗い場が地元の方のカゴが置かれていたので、仕方なくカゴの置いてある洗い場を使い始めると、カゴの持ち主らしき方から怒鳴られました。場所取りは禁止のはずなのにね。。。

(Translated by Google) This is a simple cold mineral hot spring facility where you can stay overnight. There is a cafeteria on the 2nd floor (actually the 1st floor) where you can eat seafood ramen, set meals, and Taneichi's specialty sea urchin. There is a bath with a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean on the 3rd floor. There is an elevator and lockers for valuables. A lineup of hot water, warm water, and herbal baths. Fully equipped with body soap and conditioner shampoo. The dry sauna that can accommodate up to 6 people in 2 tiers and the crisp cold water bath are the best. Local customers are older. I don't know what language is being spoken in the conversation in the changing room. (Original) 宿泊もできる単純冷鉱泉の温泉施設です。海鮮ラーメンや定食、種市特産のウニが食べれる食堂が2F(実質1F)に。壮大な景色の太平洋展望風呂が3Fにあります。エレベーターと貴重品ロッカーあり。熱湯と温湯と薬草風呂のラインナップ。ボディソープ・リンスインシャンプー完備。2段MAX6人と思えるドライサウナとキリッと冷たい水風呂が最高です。ローカル客は年齢層高めです。脱衣所での会話は何語を言ってるかわかりません。

(Translated by Google) It was far away, so I stayed there for 2 and 3 days. I think it's irresistible for people who love the sea. Even though it was in the northern part of the prefecture, the air was soft and had a relaxing feeling. Both the room and the bathroom have a panoramic view of the horizon. There is also Universe nearby. It's perfect for forgetting your busy daily life. I want to go again. (Original) 遠かったので、2伯3日でゆっくり泊まりました。 海好きな人にはたまらないかと。県北なのに、空気が柔らかく、のんびりした感じが良かったです。 部屋も浴場も、どこも水平線が一望です。 近くにユニバースもあります。 忙しい日常を忘れるのに最適かと。 また行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) I stayed in Room 301, the only room on the 3rd floor. Although it was the end of the year, the weather was unseasonably nice, and the view from both the room and the restaurant was spectacular. The breakfast was as expected, so I would like to order dinner next time. thank you very much. *It would have been nice to take a picture of the sea view, but just the breakfast would be helpful (lol) I moved the towel and it is misaligned. (Original) 3階唯一の部屋「301号室」に泊まらせていただきました。 年末でしたが季節外れの好天で、部屋からもレストランからも見晴らしが素晴らしかったです。 朝食も期待通りでしたので、今度は是非晩御飯もお願いしたいと思います。 ありがとうございました。 ※写真で一緒に海の眺めも撮れば良かったんですが、朝御飯だけでもご参考に(笑) ちとおしぼりを動かしてしまってズレています。

(Translated by Google) I live in the next town, but this is my impression after taking a day trip to the bath. The bath had a great view and was very nice, but perhaps it's a characteristic of people in this area, and although it was also a bathing facility in the same town, I got a very malicious impression that they were using the hair dryer for something other than drying their hair. I see a lot of people using a hair dryer to dry their feet and private parts instead of using it on their head. Once I warned him about it, he got mad at me and said I was doing it on my own. I felt sad. I would like to come again, so I asked the receptionist for improvements, and she told me that there are a lot of customers like this and that it is a problem. Everyone, use the hair dryer only to dry your hair. (Original) 隣の町に住むものですが日帰り入浴での感想です。 お風呂は見晴らしもよくとても良いのですがこの地域の方の特有なのか、同じ町内の入浴施設でもあったのですがドライヤーを髪の毛を乾かす以外に使っているのがとても悪意印象でした。 頭に使うのではなく足や陰部をドライヤーで乾かしている方がとても多く目にします。一度注意したら逆に勝手だろうと怒られました。悲しい気持ちになりました。 また来たいので改善していただきたく受付の方に申し上げたところ、そういうお客様が多くて困っているとのことでした。 みなさん、ドライヤーは髪の毛だけを乾かすために使いましょう。

(Translated by Google) Day trip bathing is 500 yen, but shampoo, body soap, and hair dryer are provided. The bath is on the 3rd floor and the view of the horizon is amazing. Although it is not a hot spring, There are three types of medicinal baths: 39.5℃ and 41℃, and bath salts at 46℃, and I think they are expensive. What surprised me was that the water bath was so cold, the water temperature was 10 degrees Celsius! ! ! This is definitely the only place you'll find such a cold water bath. (Original) 日帰り入浴500円ながらシャンプーボディソープドライヤー備付 風呂は3階にあり水平線の眺めは素晴らしいの一言 温泉ではないが、 薬湯39.5℃、41℃、浴用剤の46℃の3種類があり、まぁコストがかかっていると思います 驚いた点は冷たすぎる水風呂で、なんと水温10℃!!! こんなに冷たい水風呂は間違いなくここだけでしょう

(Translated by Google) I used it for a day trip bath. I suddenly had to use the service, so I called and asked if there would be any problems, and I was politely given the OK. I headed there by car, but got lost because it was nighttime and I had to go through a really narrow road in a residential area. I called again and received a detailed explanation. I am truly grateful to the person at the counter who responded to my request. There are various types of baths, and I felt comfortable using them. (Original) 日帰り入浴にて利用しました。 急に利用することとなり電話にてこれからでも問題ないか尋ねたところ丁寧にOKいただきました。 車で向かいましたが夜間かつ住宅街の本当に狭い道を通らないといけないため迷ってしまいました。 再度電話をしてまた丁寧に説明いただきました。 対応してくれた窓口の方には本当に感謝です。 お風呂も各種種類あり、気持ちよく利用できました。
