Kamedake Onsen Tamamine Sanso

This Accommodation is a day-use Onsen Facility with lodging, overlooking the satoyama landscape of Okuizumo. Thank you for letting us stay at a very reasonable rate as part of the “Special Room Grand Reopening Commemorative” offer.The Room was clean and comfortable. The refrigerator was well stocked with complimentary drinks such as beer, chu-hi, sake, and tea. There was also a coffee machine with plenty of coffee beans provided—perfect for coffee lovers.The open-air bath is not very open, but it is free-flowing from the source. However, since the source temperature is low at 29°C, it was disappointing that hot water needs to be added. Because it was hot in July, we mostly bathed using the source water as-is. When I returned to the air-conditioned Room I felt chilly at first, but afterward my body warmed up from the core.The large public bath was far from the Special Room, but I still went three times. I noticed a slight chlorine smell, but it was nicely warm.It would be ideal if the in-room bath’s spring water could be heated.For dinner we had the top-tier “Matsu Kaiseki” at a table in the restaurant. At this great price (50,000 yen), we were fully satisfied; however, if it were priced at 70,000–80,000 yen or more for two people, I think more creativity would be needed both in the dining setting and in the meal content.As of writing this Review on IKYU.com , it seems that Special Rooms are not currently being sold there.We were glad to enjoy beautiful satoyama views with no solar panels or anything else in sight from this Accommodation. All staff served us with warm smiles and pleasant hospitality. I also appreciated that most staff were local Japanese rather than foreign workers.We support hardworking Japanese Ryokan like yours. If charging regular rates, we hope you will consider adding one more step of “specialness” worthy of a Special Room.We would love to stay again.

We stayed as a family of three—my wife, our daughter, and me. The Ryokan felt very clean overall and well maintained. The Room had a sunken kotatsu table, but since it was early summer we didn’t use it; I think it would be great in winter. Since it was the week of our daughter’s birthday, we requested a small surprise with a whole cake, and the staff kindly accommodated us. We were supposed to tell them when to bring it out, but I completely forgot and must have kept them waiting—sorry about that. Even so, they never showed any displeasure and even sang the birthday song with us. Thank you very much.The meals were generally lightly seasoned and delicious, though I wasn’t quite sure what the main dish was; the small hot pot was excellent. The bath also had an open-air bath, with just the right temperature and a clean feel—we were very satisfied.Above all, the staff were wonderful and made our stay truly pleasant. Thank you again. We would definitely like to stay here again if we have the chance.
