All 8 rooms feature open-air hot spring baths with free-flowing natural spring water. A secluded accommodation with all rooms in separate buildings, perfect for adults seeking tranquility.
Kotengu Sanroji, located in the secluded Kawano Onsen area of Shimonoseki, offers a unique retreat. Each of the eight Rooms has its own distinct charm, designed exclusively for adults. The private open-air baths in the guest Rooms feature 24-hour natural hot spring water, allowing you to indulge in the luxurious Kawano waters whenever you desire. The independent bedrooms are equipped with spacious and comfortable beds, while the cozy living areas feature carefully selected sofas. This hidden Property emphasizes "privacy," providing a serene space where you can spend precious moments with your loved ones amidst the slow flow of time.
All Rooms are detached and each has a different style with a private open-air bath, so you can spend your stay without seeing other guests. The meals were also excellent, featuring Yamaguchi specialties such as fugu sashimi and kawara soba. The staff were kind and pleasant.\nI would like to stay in a different type of Room next time.\nThe entrance is hard to find, so you should call before arrival to arrange pickup.
ユリジョウ 9/25/2026We stayed for a Multiple Night Stay during our Obon trip to Yamaguchi. The detached Room was spacious, and we had a very comfortable stay. The Onsen in the Room was simply amazing, and we enjoyed it many times during our stay (we even ended with a footbath before checkout because we didn’t want to leave). The staff were also very courteous. The meals featuring local cuisine were absolutely delicious. Since it was a Multiple Night Stay, I imagine the chef had to work hard on the menu, but we were completely satisfied on both days. We’ll definitely come back to relax again when we visit Yamaguchi!
