This was our favorite part of a 2 week Japan trip. While the onsen’s were great, and amenities were fantastic, my favorite was the location and wilderness. Very remote, with lots and long “2 way road but 1car space” roads before you make it to the hotel which has parking for about 10 guest cars. 10/10!

Great Riokan and facilities. The open-air onsen accessible only by zipcar would be a destination of its own. If you are planning a trip to Oboke Gorge and the Iya Valley, this would be the wisest option. Just consider the CRAZY zigzagging roads made out of impossible curves to drive all around the valley. Really beautiful to see, a little nightmare to drive through. Two way roads where you would barely have space for one small car where you would constantly be looking at the mirrors at every curve and pray not to encounter another car on the curve or tightest parts of the roads.

Secluded Hot Spring Resort Hotel - Highly Satisfied" I was very satisfied with hotel. The staff were excellent and attentive. They were aware that my daughter does not like to eat fish, and they tried to suggest that I choose the Western-style breakfast instead of the Japanese-style breakfast, which typically includes fish. However, due to the language barrier, they found another staff member who could speak English to better communicate this thoughtful recommendation. Additionally, one of the staff members had a minor accident while helping us with our luggage. I hope they recover soon. Overall, I am very satisfied and highly recommend this secluded hot spring resort hotel.

One of my dream Onsen destination in Japan

This was one of my ultimate Onsen destination for a long time. I read an article about this place being one of the top 5 go-to-onsen not only for Japanese and Onsen lovers all over the world as you need to operate cable car down to the below Iya Valley to enjoy outside onsen with spectacular views. I enjoyed both male and female side in 2 days and I was simply overwhelmed by the scenery. Only down side was the water is not hot enough as it is a naturally flowing onsen water without heating up. Kaiseki was unique since they cooked local fresh water seafood mostly which was a rare for travelers to enjoy. Indoor onsen was also great as well. Only negative part was we were checked into 6th floor and my mom had a difficult time to go down and up to lobby for cable car Onsen, basement for indoor Onsen, Kaiseki was 5th fl but breakfast was at the lobby level. For elderly customer, try to get a room near the lobby just in case.
