Gensen-yu no Yado Kairi

About 10 years ago, my wife underwent breast cancer surgery. As her condition stabilized, we stayed at this hot spring inn with the surgeon’s approval, on the condition that a simple (non-sulfur) spring would be fine. It was a refined ryokan where we could enjoy an elegant hot spring experience—including a cave bath—and delicious cuisine. However, when we arrived, my wife didn’t have much of an appetite, perhaps due to the effects of treatment. I still remember promising her, “Once there’s no risk of recurrence, we’ll definitely come back.”Now that 10 years have passed and the risk of recurrence is gone, we finally returned together—and both the second- and third-floor baths offer a wide variety of options where you can soak at ease. The bathing areas are also kept in absolutely perfect condition! In addition, each dish in the morning and evening kaiseki meals is beautifully seasoned with exquisite dashi flavors. Coming here in such a rush 10 years ago made me realize how much we were both preoccupied with illness at the time.From now on, we’ve decided to stay here every October without fail. That’s how wonderful this hot spring inn is. I can recommend it to everyone with complete confidence.P.S. I’ve attached photos of dinner and of the waterfall visible from the connecting corridor.

Thank you for the delicious meals, the well-maintained facilities, and the true free-flowing Onsen from the source, which allowed us to relax both body and mind at a leisurely pace.We would love to stay again in a different season.
