Enjoy a therapeutic hot spring sourced from 1,300 meters underground and savor locally sourced ingredients.

A three-minute ferry ride marks the start of a slightly special island getaway. Welcome to Fukuju-so, nestled on Watakano Island and surrounded by calm seas. Enjoy the changing seasons with a pleasant ocean breeze. For dining, we offer carefully crafted kaiseki cuisine featuring seasonal flavors from both mountain and sea in Ise-Shima, known as “Miketsukuni.” Our hot springs are natural therapeutic waters from our own source; enjoy two distinct bathing facilities: a garden open-air bath and a panoramic bath. Fishing right in front of the property is also a wonderful way to make lasting memories. Whether you’re traveling as a family, across three generations, in a group, or solo, you can relax and feel at home here. Step away from everyday life and enjoy an island stay at Fukuju-so, where time flows gently. We look forward to welcoming you.

  • We stayed here as a couple to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The Onsen was wonderful. Thank you for the complimentary champagne service at dinner.

  • A trip with four friends we hadn’t seen in a while. We made a Reservation hoping the Accommodation would be comfortable, and it was even better than expected. The Room, bath, meals, and service were all wonderful. The food in particular was outstanding—clearly prepared by a highly skilled chef.The only slight disappointment was the restroom door; that part alone felt a bit old (haha).We’d love to stay again someday. Thank you.

Garden Open-Air Bath “Kazemachi-no-Yu”
A rare find in Mie Prefecture: a therapeutic hot spring with high-quality private source water flowing from 1,300 meters underground.

At the garden open-air Onsen bath “Kazamachi-no-Yu,” we offer a variety of baths with different atmospheres, including an indoor bath, a hinoki cypress bath, a rock bath, a waterfall-style massage bath, a walking bath, and a reclining bath. At the panoramic large public bath on the top floor, you can also enjoy sunrise and sunset views from an open and airy setting. We also have private open-air Onsen baths and a footbath. Our high-quality Onsen is a sodium- and calcium-chloride spring that is gentle on the skin and known for its excellent heat-retaining and moisturizing properties; it is also expected to help stimulate digestive function when consumed as drinking water, which is why it is known as “the stomach-and-intestines Onsen.”
