Ōtakuchi Station × Nature Experience AccommodationRecommended 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.

Located in the Oboke-Iya Onsen area, this accommodation is surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery of the Yoshino River. From the open-air bath, you can enjoy stunning seasonal views of the Oboke Gorge below. The cuisine features local delicacies made with seasonal ingredients unique to Oboke, including mountain and river specialties. Be sure to try our seasonal dishes and the local hot pot specialty, "Obihime Nabe." The surrounding natural attractions are also a highlight. Take a sightseeing boat ride to see conglomerate schist designated as a national natural monument up close and experience the grandeur of Oboke Gorge's nature.

At the Property within Kenyama National Park, you can enjoy the natural beauty of the four seasons at the wonders of Ooboke and Koboke. From the tranquil Japanese-style rooms with open-air baths, you can admire the magnificent nature from the fresh greenery of spring to the autumn foliage and winter scenery. From the large public bath facing the great outdoors, you can overlook the Koboke Gorge and the Yoshino River, known as Japan's most powerful rapids. Meals are carefully prepared using local ingredients, including seasonal vegetables and river fish.

The mountain lodge Kajigamori, located near the summit, is a special retreat surrounded by pristine nature. At night, a sky full of stars stretches above, and in the morning, the chirping of birds provides a pleasant awakening. In the forest, deer roam freely, and the ever-changing seasonal landscapes and starry skies offer new charms with every visit. Midway up the mountain, you can find "Ryuou Falls," one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls, where you can enjoy hiking. The summit is just a 5-minute drive from the lodge, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Shikoku's mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and a sea of clouds. The lodge also offers rental E-bikes, making cycling a highly recommended activity. Escape the hustle and bustle, soak in the rejuvenating mountain spring bath, and refresh your mind and body. We invite you to experience an extraordinary stay at our mountain lodge.
