I love traveling solo to Onsen and visit places all over the whole country. I’d heard of Umegashima Onsen, but for some reason it had never been on my list—what a loss, haha. Last month I stayed at Umegashima Onsen for the first time (at a different Accommodation), and it quickly became one of my favorite Onsen. This time as well, it was great that they only accept a small number of guests and offer private reserved baths. That said, I like to soak in the Onsen whenever I want as many times as I like, so I often choose an Accommodation with an in-Room bath or one that’s available 24 hours. Unfortunately, here it was only available until 11:00 p.m. Also, having to ask the staff each time to get the key made me feel hesitant. I wish I could use it more freely without worrying about bothering anyone. The meals were absolutely delicious. The ingredients were different from what I’m used to in the Izu Peninsula or Hakone, which made everything feel very fresh.

I stay here on the last day of every trip, and this time again I used it on the final day of my 10-day journey. The food was exceptionally delicious, and the bath had wonderful spring water quality—I was completely satisfied. I think Umegashima will get even hotter from here, but please keep up the great work. I’ll visit again, so thank you in advance.

The Facility is located toward the back of the Sumatakyo Onsen area. There are several nearby shops where you can buy souvenirs or grab a light meal, and it’s relatively close to Yume no Tsuribashi Suspension Bridge, so the location is fairly convenient. The Facility is a bit old, but clean. The Room was spacious; although it’s a Japanese-style room, it had twin beds and was very comfortable. Meals focused on local mountain specialties such as grilled river fish and wild boar hot pot, with more than enough volume to finish. Both the indoor bath and open-air bath were spacious, with free-flowing natural hot spring water. The silky-smooth Onsen water was excellent. There seemed to be a small number of staff members, but service felt efficient and to the point without being wasteful. There are two drawbacks: 1) The Wi-Fi signal is weak. We were told that “it should work in this Room” near the front desk, but it still cut out at times. In Rooms farther away, it may barely work at all. 2) Amenities in the bathing area: according to my wife, the women’s bath had items like lotion and cotton swabs, but the men’s bath did not. I’d like them to be consistent. Also, there is no switching between men’s and women’s baths during the stay.

We stayed as a family of four during the Obon holidays. The Accommodation was very clean and beautiful. The Onsen and the meals were both excellent. We were also able to buy Shizuoka oden that you recommended on our way home, and it was very delicious! It was a warm, comfortable Accommodation. We would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season. Thank you very much.

True to its name as a fine sake inn, it offers a wide selection of alcoholic drinks, and the meals paired with them are excellent. A quiet Accommodation recommended for those seeking rest and relaxation.
