Ogawa Onsen Motoyu Hotel Ogawa

All staff were courteous and greeted us with warm smiles.In the spacious lobby, kimono obi sashes were laid over the sofas, creating an elegant Hokuriku atmosphere.The open-air bath was wonderful, with naturally flowing Onsen water, and I could soak while feeling grateful for nature’s gifts. However, horseflies (Orolro) may come at times, so I used the insect spray provided. Extra caution is needed during the hot season from late July onward. On the way to the open-air bath, I was surprised to see Onsen water bubbling up from the wall and flowing down.The large public bath’s hinoki cypress tub was pleasantly lukewarm—so comfortable that I could have stayed in it forever.Being able to enjoy an Onsen that has flowed continuously for 400 years while taking in unchanged natural scenery truly felt like a luxurious moment.

It was a fulfilling two days. The Room was spacious and comfortable. The open-air bath and large public bath were both spacious, with great views, and the Onsen itself was very relaxing.We only had breakfast, but the portion size was just right and it was incredibly delicious. It’s also close to sightseeing spots such as Unazuki Onsen, making it a great location. I’d like to stay here again.
