Dai-ichi Takimotokan

We stayed in the most luxurious room to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary.The property is very spacious, and the hot spring facilities were far larger than we imagined, with plenty of room to relax.Enjoying a leisurely soak with sake floating on a tray in the bath was a truly special experience.We relaxed in style in our luxurious room with a private open-air bath, and I kept wishing this were our home.If you really want to unwind, I recommend staying for two nights.Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality.

We checked in after enjoying a full day of walking around the hot spring town, visiting Jigokudani, Oyunuma, and the footbaths in beautiful weather. The location of Dai-ichi Takimotokan is amazing—simply the best.Everything was great—the comfort inside the hotel, the fun souvenir shop, and the excellent breakfast and dinner buffets—but above all, the hot springs were truly spectacular!There are so many baths where you can enjoy five different types of spring water, spread across an enormous space about twice the size of a gymnasium. The ceilings are high, and one entire glass wall faces Jigokudani—so it feels like soaking in an onsen right in the valley you just explored, with nature all around you. It’s a one-of-a-kind hot spring experience unlike any other hotel; personally, I think it’s among the best in Japan.I hope everyone gets to enjoy both the view from the baths during bright daytime hours and these wonderful five types of spring water. We’ll be back next year!
