Arifuku Onsen Yoshidaya
Shimane Prefecture/Gotsu CityExperience the luxury of a natural hot spring at the relaxing accommodation "Yoshidaya".
Arifuku Onsen, cherished as the "Land of Fortune" since ancient times, is a renowned hot spring discovered 1,350 years ago by the monk Hodo Shonin. At Yoshidaya, you can enjoy natural Onsen water directly from the source without any heating, dilution, or added disinfectants. The soft and silky water is known as "Bijin no Yu" (Beauty Hot Spring), gently enveloping your skin. The proven skincare benefits researched by POLA add to its allure. Each soak leaves your skin hydrated and refreshed, with noticeable differences by the next morning. During your stay, indulge in relaxing baths to your heart's content. The retro streets adorned with stone pavements are also worth exploring. Just a one-minute walk away is the Italian restaurant "Arifuku Bianco," offering full-course meals made with fresh local ingredients. Additionally, on weekends, you can enjoy performances of Iwami Kagura at "Yunomachi Kaguraden." Experience a luxurious blend of history, hot springs, cuisine, and culture at Yoshidaya.
This Accommodation sits at the highest point of Arifuku Onsen in Gotsu City, Shimane Prefecture. I stayed here eight years ago and returned this time. It used to be a historic, retro inn, but after the renovation it has been transformed into a wonderful Onsen Accommodation that beautifully blends tasteful interiors with a nostalgic atmosphere.Dinner was a full-course meal at a nearby Italian restaurant included in the Plan. Despite being stylish, they also provided chopsticks, and every dish was carefully prepared with delicate seasoning—everything was truly delicious. Breakfast was also very good, though I would have liked one more side dish (such as dried fish).The Onsen water has a silky, slightly slippery feel—perhaps that’s why it’s known as “beautifying” water. I’ve visited many hot spring areas, but this texture is quite rare. There is also a glass window in the dining room floor where you can see the source spring.On Saturday nights, it seems you can watch Iwami Kagura at the nearby Kagura hall just steps from the Accommodation. Unfortunately, my stay wasn’t on a Saturday so I couldn’t see it, but next time I’d like to make my Reservation for a Saturday.
