Hotel Matsubagawa Onsen

Surrounded by the Onsen, the gentle murmur of the river, and lush greenery, our stay was deeply soothing. Most memorable of all were the staff’s smiles and warm hospitality. The meals were outstanding—the roe-filled sweetfish was impressively large, and the Shimanto pork and homemade ice cream were full of flavor, making for a truly luxurious time. The Onsen water left our skin silky smooth, and we were able to relax in the open-air bath while enjoying a pleasant breeze. When it was time to leave, we felt reluctant to say goodbye—this is an unforgettable Accommodation wrapped in Onsen, nature, and human warmth that made us want to return again.

I was truly impressed by the silky, rich quality of the Onsen water. It felt so pleasant that I wanted to keep touching my skin in the bath forever—it's rare to find water like this. After arriving, I crossed the bridge and went for a walk; the sound of cicadas was wonderful, and I ended up walking for about an hour. You can also go down to the river, which is another highly recommended spot. The meals were very generous, and I regret that I couldn’t finish everything. I’d be happy if there were an option for a smaller portion with a higher-quality course menu. The sweetfish and bonito were delicious as well. Thank you very much.
