Notice of Temporary Closure for Renovation and Grand Reopening Announcement
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Kotani no Yu.
To provide an even more comfortable and rejuvenating stay, Kotani no Yu will be carrying out renovation work to renew our in-house Facilities.
Accordingly, we will be temporarily closed during the period below.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
■ Temporary Closure Period
Scheduled: Monday, September 28, 2026 – Saturday, October 31, 2026
■ Grand Reopening
Scheduled to open in November 2026
■ Main Renovation Highlights
1. Renewed interior spaces wrapped in the warmth of wood
Entrance & Lobby Lounge
By removing partitions, we will create a more open space with large windows offering panoramic views of the magnificent surrounding nature.
We will also add tatami bench seating, a new shop corner, and a new amenities bar.
Guest Rooms (selected rooms only)
Room layouts will be expanded to create a more spacious Japanese-modern retreat.
Upgrades include headboards with charging outlets, comfortable sofas for relaxing stays, and improved usability of bathroom areas.
Large Public Bath Changing Room
Finishes will be fully renewed to create a clean yet chic and calming atmosphere.
2. Renewed dining featuring Aizu’s fermentation and preserved-food culture
In addition to our highly regarded private hot spring source waters, we have prepared three special kaiseki courses themed around “fermentation,” designed to warm you from the core and help restore balance.
