I stayed here on a solo trip. I loved the location nestled in the forest and the charming atmosphere of the traditional old house. I saw lots of stag beetles, which gave me a great story to share with my kids waiting at home.

The Room we stayed in was very spacious. The bedroom and a separate lounge area with a sofa were divided into two spaces. Having an indoor bath that we could enjoy as many times as we liked at any time was wonderful. Both the Japanese breakfast and dinner were delicious. One small disappointment was that there were no extra amenity towels provided. At times, trash had not been cleared away in the tasting corner. However, overall it is a very clean Hotel, the hot water is excellent, and the meals were satisfying, so we would definitely like to stay again.

It was so relaxing!

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.

It's hard to find a place where you can enjoy an Onsen while traveling with your dog. This time, we drove all the way from Kanagawa to Arifuku Onsen, a place we had never heard of before. Honestly, we didn’t have high expectations, but we spent a relaxing 2 nights and 3 days there. There was a small mishap on the third morning when breakfast didn’t arrive, but they handled it sincerely and professionally. (That breakfast was quite extravagant, wasn’t it? Thank you!) One request: if possible, please consider installing sound-masking devices in the toilets. The sounds are quite audible while cooking... I wish it were closer, but if I get another chance, I’d love to visit again!
