Okutsu Onsen Ikedaya Kajikaen

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The Room was very spacious with a calm atmosphere, and the view of the Yoshii River from the large window was amazing. The Onsen left my skin feeling silky smooth, and with free-flowing natural spring water, the bath was very clean and truly refreshing.The meals were also delicious, and I was able to enjoy them slowly in a peaceful dining area. It was excellent.Thank you as well to all the staff for your kind and attentive service.

The Onsen was wonderful; I think it’s best to visit in winter. The meals were satisfying and delicious. Most of the staff were from overseas, which I didn’t find to be a problem, but the meal service could have been a bit more attentive (for example, how bowls were held when serving). Still, it was my first Onsen trip in a while, and the river breeze and the sound of running water were very soothing. It would be even better with easier access, but perhaps its quiet, rustic location is part of the charm.
