Iya Onsen × Recommended Hotel·Ryokan for family trips

Opened in 2006, with a detached suite added in April 2011. The Iya Valley, where the Iya River flows from Mount Tsurugi and carves a V-shape into the Shikoku Mountains, offers breathtakingly majestic gorge scenery. "Keikoku no Kakure Yado Iya Bijin" is a Property with an Onsen and a soba restaurant, located right in front of this lush green valley and clear stream. Originally opened in 1975 as a handmade soba restaurant using local buckwheat and spring water, the Property later added 8 Rooms and a detached accommodation to provide visitors to Iya with a more relaxing and leisurely stay. All Rooms are equipped with open-air baths, allowing guests to fully enjoy the Onsen while admiring the stunning views. For meals, indulge in unique dishes featuring local river fish and vegetables, or gather around the irori hearth for hot pot and charcoal-grilled delicacies. To finish, savor our specialty Iya soba. Immerse yourself in the crisp air of the valley, soak in the Onsen, and enjoy delicious cuisine. As your daily fatigue melts away, you may find yourself thinking, "Ah, happiness..." We hope you can experience such a moment here.

Indulge in breathtaking views and soothe your soul in our open-air sky bath, offering a luxurious space surrounded by nature for a truly special experience that awakens all your senses. Enjoy a blissful moment of refreshment for your mind and body as you gaze upon the stunning natural scenery. Immerse yourself in the warm waters while listening to the gentle rustle of the wind and the chirping of birds, allowing the tranquility to wash away the noise of daily life and bring peace to your heart. Additionally, our traditional local cuisine, featuring dishes such as "Dekoma-washi," "Iya Soba," and "Iya Soba Rice Porridge," is crafted with an abundance of fresh, local ingredients, offering a memorable culinary experience. These dishes not only delight with their flavors and aromas but also provide a wholesome and nourishing meal. The view from the open-air bath changes with the seasons—snow-covered landscapes in winter, lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn foliage, and cherry blossoms in spring—offering a unique and luxurious experience that will leave a lasting impression on your heart. Escape the stresses of daily life and rejuvenate both body and mind in this serene retreat. We invite you to spend a special time here, where the sky bath and the flavors of Iya come together to create an unforgettable experience.

A single accommodation, "Hotel Iya Onsen," is located on the cliffs of the Iya Valley. An open-air bath is situated at the bottom of the valley, approximately 170 meters down via cable car, where you can soak while enjoying the stunning views of the gorge. The beauty of the valley can also be admired from the guest rooms.
