Hirugami Onsen · Tenryukyo Onsen × Accommodation With Private Hot Spring SourceHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

This Accommodation is located near a ski resort, and the building feels a bit dated. There was still a faint scent of old tatami in the room, but we didn’t encounter any stink bugs that sometimes appear at mountain lodgings, which was reassuring. The bath is an Onsen with a gentle feel on the skin and a slightly silky texture. I prefer soaking slowly in warm rather than hot water, and the temperature was just right for me. Dinner is served around an irori hearth. There seemed to be a tour-bus group staying that day as well, and the dining area was nearly full. Their menu appeared to be different from ours, but our hearth-grilled dishes were carefully turned at the right time by the attendant, and everything was delicious. This isn’t an Accommodation for those seeking glamour or luxury, but what impressed us most was the very reasonable price. It’s surprisingly affordable for a place listed on IKYU—about the cost of one night at a Business Hotel in Tokyo—and it even includes dinner for two. Considering the cool summer climate and this price point, it was more than satisfying stay.

We stayed here with my husband’s parents and sister, as well as my mother and me. Thank you so much for arranging a private room and a red celebratory vest on short notice—it became a truly memorable occasion. The staff member who assisted us was wonderful. Dinner was more than satisfying, with an abundance of dishes, and the bath left our skin silky smooth—it was fantastic. Thank you very much!
