Registered Tangible Cultural Property Ryokan Meisen Kagiyu Okutsuso
Okayama Prefecture/Okutsu OnsenA culturally designated Ryokan where you can soak directly in a rare natural Onsen spring that wells up beneath your feet.
With natural hot spring water bubbling up from beneath your feet, we invite you to spend a relaxing and tranquil time. Our accommodation preserves the calmness and warmth unique to traditional wooden Ryokan, amidst the fading beauty of Japanese tradition. Known as "Kagi-yu," our natural flowing Onsen offers a renowned experience found only in Okutsu, surrounded by pristine nature, fresh air filled with green ions, the sound of flowing rivers, and birdsong—an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Forget your daily routine and take a precious moment with your loved ones for an "IKYU" in life. At Okutsu Onsen Meisen Kagi-yu Okutsuso, we strive to continue being an accommodation that supports such meaningful journeys for our guests.
I always enjoy staying here. The Accommodation is spotless throughout, and once again I had a very comfortable stay. The staff were as friendly and attentive as ever, and their warm hospitality is always soothing.\nThe Onsen was wonderful. I especially enjoyed relaxing in the Kagi-bath and the standing bath, which helped me unwind and relieve my everyday fatigue.\nEach dish was delicious, and I took my time savoring the meal.\nEvery visit reminds me what a lovely Accommodation this is—one where I can truly relax. I look forward to returning again.
Oji 3/10/2026Thank you so much for the heartfelt hospitality.The time spent at the historic Okutsuso felt as if time slowed down, allowing us to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and truly relax. The meticulous attention to detail throughout the accommodation and the warm smiles of all the staff deeply moved us.In particular, at the standing bath, we were enveloped by the warmth of water bubbling up from beneath our feet, feeling relaxation from deep within. The meals were all delicious, especially the Akou Sakushu Steamed Dish and Chiya Beef Onsen Shabu-shabu, which left an unforgettable impression.Thanks to everyone’s efforts, this became a memorable experience for us. We look forward to visiting again soon.We are excited about your 100th anniversary celebration in two years.A note from my husband: He was slightly disappointed not being able to meet with both your president and proprietress in person. However, he heard from your staff that there might be some plans in place for your centennial celebration—something we are very much looking forward to! The Chiya Beef Onsen Shabu-shabu was exceptional; its marbled lean meat was outstanding.Your onsen is superb, and now combined with excellent cuisine, it has transformed into an extraordinary accommodation. We plan on visiting again next year during firefly season when frogs sing by the riverbank. Apologies for this lengthy message!
