Aqua Ignis Kataoka Onsen

I debated between the reasonably priced Accommodation building and a detached Room with an open-air bath, but the open-air bath won me over, so I chose the “Matsu” Room. If you plan to stay in and relax without going out, I recommend the detached Rooms—they’re much more peaceful.Being able to enjoy the Onsen without anyone around is wonderful, and both the Italian dinner and the bread were delicious. The next morning, for an additional fee, breakfast can also be delivered to your detached Room. It happened to be raining that morning during my stay, so having breakfast via room service was especially appreciated.The only thing to note is that there can be quite a few insects—perhaps because it’s close to the mountains and water under the Shin-Tomei Expressway. If you’re not comfortable with bugs, visiting in winter might be best.Personally, if you want to take it easy in Yunoyama with the Onsen as your main purpose, I really like these detached Rooms. It feels like a luxurious space where you can soak in the Onsen whenever you want without worrying about anyone else.(I’m sure any minor Facility issues will have been fixed by my next visit.)Now I’d love to try staying at their sister property as well.

We stayed at Aquaignis for strawberry picking this time. The detached Accommodation had many Rooms, and we were able to relax very comfortably. Dinner was Italian in a private room, and both the fish and meat dishes were excellent. It was a little disappointing that the miso soup at breakfast was self-serve. The path from the detached Room to the main building was a bit dark, so it would have been nicer if it were brighter. Also, we would have appreciated one more type of towel. Next time, we’d like to stay at Sosui-kyo. We were very satisfied.
