The more you travel, the more your 기준 for choosing an Accommodation shifts from “luxury” to “essential comfort.” Tucked away in a mountain gorge at 1,000 meters above sea level in Kokonoe, Oita, Tabinoyado Yamatsubaki feels like the final paradise discerning travelers eventually find. Its greatest value lies in its intentionally limited number of rooms. Far removed from the bustle of a large Ryokan, it offers complete privacy—paired with perfectly judged hospitality that is attentive without ever feeling intrusive. From the moment you arrive, you can feel everyday life quietly fade away. The open-air bath is simply unforgettable. In crisp, unobstructed air, soaking in superb free-flowing Onsen while watching the starry sky shift moment by moment becomes more than a bath—it’s an indulgent sense of oneness with nature. For an Accommodation with such a private atmosphere, the generous space throughout is exceptional and especially appealing to wellness-minded travelers. As I was visiting after business and didn’t want to inconvenience the owner couple, I booked a stay with breakfast only—but each dish at breakfast told its own story. Every bite was spot-on and far beyond expectations. I regretted not ordering dinner so much that I could only think afterward: “Why didn’t I?” I also learned that at nearby Komatsu Jigoku—reopened for sightseeing after restoration completed in summer 2025—you can make Onsen eggs yourself. They kindly sold me eggs upon request and graciously accommodated my last-minute favor. I visited in early summer, but reaching Kokonoe’s mountains when they are covered in snow will likely require some preparation. Even so, that challenge only adds to the thrill of heading into a hidden retreat. Nature, renowned hot springs, and outstanding cuisine—Yamatsubaki brings them together in near-perfect balance. It isn’t just somewhere to stay; it’s a destination in itself—a truly one-of-a-kind Accommodation worth traveling for.

It was conveniently located near the station, with many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The Room was new, very clean, and comfortable to stay in. Although it was a self check-in, the owner was very courteous and communication was smooth, so I felt at ease during my stay. It was a wonderful Room that made even my first unmanned stay worry-free, and I would like to use it again.

The building is undeniably old, but it was clean and well maintained. The staff were also very helpful. If the breakfast buffet had offered a few more options, it would have been perfect!

Excellent access to the Shiga-Kusatsu Road. The Room was spacious and relaxing. The Onsen was very pleasant. The staff were kind and made us feel at ease.

Dinner was excellent, especially the fish called Aburakamasu. The open-air bath was very relaxing. The Room we were shown was clean, and the Ryokan staff were very kind. It was such a great Accommodation that there was nothing to criticize. I’m truly glad we stayed here!

Choosing this place among so many options was something we truly never regretted. We had a wonderful experience! From the very first welcome drink and warm hospitality, to the meals, the private detached room, and our own bath (Onsen), plus the lounge—everything felt extraordinary, and we were able to relax at a leisurely pace. It was amazing! Our trip as three women (a bit older) cousins was completely satisfying. The value for money was outstanding!!!

I chose this place for the baths. Just like in the photos, it had a charming, traditional atmosphere. The Facility itself was clean but old, with an old-fashioned doorknob where you insert a key. The lighting at the sink was also far too dim. Meals were served in a private room, so even as a solo guest I could relax without feeling self-conscious. Aside from the man at the front desk, all staff were very polite. The young staff at the dining area were also pleasantly earnest, and I felt more at ease than with overly seasoned service.

Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious, and we were very satisfied!! The baths are divided into a large public bath and a natural hot spring bath; both were very relaxing, and the kids loved them. We’d love to visit again if we have the chance!

Both the Facility and the Room were very clean! Even cleaner than other well-maintained Accommodations. The meals were delicious, and after gradually getting used to Kusatsu’s characteristically hot Onsen, I felt refreshed for the first time in a while and slept soundly. I was surprised at first that there was no air conditioner, but with the windows fully open and using a fan and a handheld fan, it was not a problem at all. I stayed with my daughter, and we will definitely return. Thank you very much.

The parking lot is a short walk away, but the Accommodation staff were very kind and guided us carefully. After check-in, we enjoyed unlimited beer (until 5:00 PM) and all-you-can-eat ice cream! We had some right after the Onsen— the open-air bath was piping hot! The building also had a charming, traditional atmosphere. We had dinner in our Room, and everything was delicious! Breakfast made for a truly happy morning as well. At night, it was nice to relax at the nearby footbath. We’ll be back!

We stayed in a Room with an open-air bath. The Room was very clean, as if it had just been renovated, and it was well maintained. The open-air bath was heated water rather than hot spring water, but we still enjoyed it 충분に. The only drawback is that it’s a bit far from the station, but the next day they drove us to the station while we left our car there. Starting with the young proprietress, all of the staff provided excellent service, and we had a very pleasant stay. We would like to visit again.

This Accommodation sits at the highest point of Arifuku Onsen in Gotsu City, Shimane Prefecture. I stayed here eight years ago and returned this time. It used to be a historic, retro inn, but after the renovation it has been transformed into a wonderful Onsen Accommodation that beautifully blends tasteful interiors with a nostalgic atmosphere. Dinner was a full-course meal at a nearby Italian restaurant included in the Plan. Despite being stylish, they also provided chopsticks, and every dish was carefully prepared with delicate seasoning—everything was truly delicious. Breakfast was also very good, though I would have liked one more side dish (such as dried fish). The Onsen water has a silky, slightly slippery feel—perhaps that’s why it’s known as “beautifying” water. I’ve visited many hot spring areas, but this texture is quite rare. There is also a glass window in the dining room floor where you can see the source spring. On Saturday nights, it seems you can watch Iwami Kagura at the nearby Kagura hall just steps from the Accommodation. Unfortunately, my stay wasn’t on a Saturday so I couldn’t see it, but next time I’d like to make my Reservation for a Saturday.

With our 2- and 4-year-old sons, we often have to be extra careful when traveling, but at this Accommodation we were able to enjoy meals and bathing without worrying about others thanks to the in-Room dining Plan and the private bath. We were told it was a mountain-side Room with no ocean view, but a staff member mentioned that “you may be able to see storks from the window,” and our animal-loving kids happily enjoyed the view from the window. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and we were glad as a couple that we could eat at a relaxed pace. All of the staff were kind to our children as well, and we would definitely like to stay here again when we visit Kinosaki!

While the facilities are a bit dated, they are kept very clean, and the amenities (including branded items), meals, and various services (donuts, oden, free drinks, manga, sauna, and massage chairs) were excellent, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff were also kind and made the visit pleasant. The only downside was that the Onsen felt a little hot for me.

A four-person Room for two nights. We were glad to see “mountain fireflies” on an evening walk after dinner. After that, we also spotted what looked like “mountain fireflies” glowing in the shrubs between the Accommodation and the parking lot. Chatting with international guests has been a great mental workout and a chance to refresh my rusty English.

Conveniently located right near Yunotsu Onsen Motoyu and Yakushiyu, the Room was clean, and we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious meals. It’s far from where I live, but I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance. If your schedule allows, be sure to watch the Iwami Kagura held at Ryugozen Shrine.

Ayu no Kaze is located in a residential area up a fairly steep hill from downtown Ito. Since the nearest drink vending machine and 7-Eleven are further down the hill, it’s best to buy anything you may need before check-in. We stayed in the Room called “Kochi,” which had a water dispenser. From the Room, you can enjoy panoramic views of Suruga Bay, Hatsushima Island, and Ito Station. Check-in, check-out, and all meals were handled in the Room, and it also came with a private open-air view bath with free-flowing hot spring water—making it a perfect stay-in Accommodation. The bath was slightly compact, but the tub was made of hinoki cypress, and the water was mild and wonderfully warming. Above all, being able to bathe anytime we liked was truly appreciated. Of course, we could also enjoy the scenery from the bath. Amenities covered everything we needed. Each guest is provided one bath towel initially, but extra towels can be brought upon request. We would have liked paper towels at the sink area and chairs in the Room. Meals included not only Izu-style seafood but also delicious beef; they were a satisfying Japanese-Western blend in both taste and portion size. Dessert and coffee were served after both dinner and breakfast as well. All staff members were pleasant, easy to talk to, and friendly. Both pick-up and send-off service were flawless. Even though it was raining, it made sense that they were fully booked.

For dinner, we chose nodoguro and wagyu beef—both were delicious. Breakfast felt a little modest, but considering the price, we were very satisfied. The room was also thoroughly cleaned, making our stay comfortable.

We stayed for one night with breakfast and dinner included, in the detached Japanese-style Room with two rooms -Sazanka-. The meals were excellent; we didn’t really need two rooms (lol), but the sound of the river was quite loud, like a ventilation fan running all the time. Everyone at the Ryokan was friendly, which was great. The Onsen could be used as much as we wanted during the available hours—we used the in-Room Onsen and the private bath, for a total of five times. We’d like to stay again next time.

This was my first time visiting Kannawa Onsen. The hot spring water was simply amazing. Miyukiya was wonderful. It’s a place I’ll want to visit again and again.
