Hirayama Onsen Yama Fuchi no Yado Ikki Ikusou

After arriving at the Accommodation and taking a short break, we headed to the spacious open-air Onsen. Other guests were already there and said the water was amazing—like a beauty serum. After trying it ourselves, we completely agreed. The silky-smooth water felt incredibly soothing. The cave bath seemed even more moisturizing, making it an Onsen you could stay in forever. Not only was the large public bath wonderful, but the in-Room bath was also beautifully made of stone. I can’t even count how many times we used it during our stay. The meals were also delicious, and we were very satisfied. We also really enjoyed sightseeing at Kikuchi Castle Ruins, Yamaga’s Sakura-yu, and Kikuchi Gorge.

I was able to use the large public bath three times and the indoor and open-air baths five times, for a total of eight visits. The spring quality and water temperature were excellent, and I had a wonderful time. I would like to visit again if I have the chance. The meals were delicious—I even gained some weight, so I think I need to go on a bit of a diet. Thank you very much to all the staff. The safflower and witch hazel seen from the dining area were also beautiful.
