    Gunma Agatsuma-gun Nakanojomachi Shima Onsen
    "Sekizenkan, the oldest wooden bathhouse in Japan, was built in 1691 and consists of three buildings: the main building, the ""Sanso,"" a registered tangible cultural property, and the ""Kashotei,"" a fusion of tradition and modernity. The view of the main building from the vermilion-lacquered ""Keiun Bridge"" is reminiscent of the Ghibli movie ""Spirited Away. In 2020, the Yakuzen Restaurant ""Yakuzen Ya Koshin"" opened in front of Keiunbashi Bridge."

    Interesting onsen with several baths and lots of character. We stayed in the middle building in a traditional room, which was nicely decorated and comfortable. The Roman style baths were an unusual...

    "Founded in 1758, the ""Historic Hotel Kanaguya"" is a famous landmark in the Shibu hot spring resort area, and is said to be the model for the bathhouse in the Ghibli film ""Spirited Away. In particular, the exterior of the four-story wooden ""Saigetsu-ro"" building is lit up from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. daily, providing a fantastic sight to photograph. Guests can also participate in the ""cultural asset tour"" and ""souce-of-spring tour"" and enjoy architectural styles from the Meiji to Showa periods."

    I’m shocked by any reviews of this architectural treasure where it’s not being given it’s fair marks. No, it’s not a 5 star hotel, but it is 5 stars in a unique very Japanese experience teeming...

    Akita Senboku-shi Tazawako Tazawa
    "Located in Nyuto Onsen, ""Kaniba"" is an inn featuring an open-air mixed bath surrounded by a virgin natural beech forest. The open-air bath is located in the forest about 50 meters away from the main building, and the rock bath can accommodate about 30 people, where you can enjoy simple sulfur spring water. There are also women-only hours, so even those who do not like mixed bathing can use the baths with peace of mind. There is also an indoor bath made of Akita cedar and a rock bath, allowing guests to fully enjoy the hot spring even in chilly seasons. The name of the inn comes from the fact that the area around the inn is often used to catch Spanish crabs."

    I tried to make a booking on Ganiba Onsen but it was fully booked. So I ended up visiting this place for a few hours during my onsen hopping. I must say Ganiba is my number one favourite.

    Shizuoka Pref. Itoushi Futo 1305-8
    This is a hot-spring inn located in Futo, Ito City. The hot spring is highly regarded because the raw source is pumped from underground to the bathtub without touching the air and bathers can enjoy the natural water. In addition, luxurious seafood dishes are offered for breakfast and dinner. The fresh sashimi vividly served in the wooden boat-like containers is a feast for the eyes. Sometimes there is a display of a whole tuna being sliced.

    We stayed here just one night but it was a special event- we arrived at 3 to make the most of visiting the onsen dotted around the grounds. Without a car it would be difficult to get to as it isvery...

    Adatara, there is a resort hotel where visitors can take a one-day trip to Gakeonsen, a hot spring with a reputation for its acidic spring water drawn from the source near the eighth station of Mt. The hotel's large baths and open-air baths use 100% spring water, and the acidic spring water with a pH of 2.5 and the scent of sulfur will make your skin smooth and smooth. From the open-air baths, you can enjoy the lush green scenery and starry sky. The hotel also has a super ceramic bath that warms you from the inside out and an essential oil esthetic salon.

    To reach Kurikoma Sanso, it is convenient to use your own car or rent a car. The trip from the Yuzawa direction is via National Route 398 and Prefectural Route 282, and from the Jumonji direction via National Route 342, and takes about one hour. The elevation increases along the way, and the views from the car windows are beautiful. Lake Sugawa, with its high transparency, is located 1 km before Kurikoma Sanso, and a walk along the lake is recommended if there is enough time.

    岩手県と秋田県の県境にある温泉です。 お風呂からの眺めが最高です。強酸Ph2.2の温泉で、湯上がりが気持ちよかったですね。 お風呂から出る時に雨水を利用したお湯を利用できるため、貴金属の変色の心配がありませんでした。 帰りに熊と鹿肉のレトルトカレーをお土産に買って帰りました。 熊に注意して、是非行ってみてください

    Wakayama Pref. Aridashi Hoshio 37
    This restaurant adjoins the Sunshine business hotel, notable for its up-close view of the vast natural beauty of the Arida River and Mt. Myojin. The restaurant is just a five-minute drive from JR Kii-Miyahara Station on the opposite side of the river. The restaurant’s name means “Ayu Tea House,” and as this implies, the establishment takes pride in its ayu cuisine and other dishes made with fish varieties like largehead hairtail (caught in larger quantities here than anywhere else in Japan), and wild longtooth grouper caught in the Kii Channel. Particularly notable is the restaurant’s largehead hairtail rice bowls and oju lacquered boxes, original recipe dishes only a few servings of which are offered each day. Other menu selections, like the wild longtooth grouper hot pot set and kaiseki course cuisine, give diners the chance to fully savor the flavors of the Kii Channel.

    となりにビジネスホテル サンシャインに宿泊して夕食、お風呂を利用。とても人気らしく平日17時過ぎで駐車場は一杯。浴室内は年配者、子供連れで混んでいる。洗い場、内風呂、露天風呂も広い。食事処は2階の個室でとても美味しい。

In addition, the atrium space inside the inn is attracting attention for its resemblance to a scene in the anime ""Oni no Kai"" (Blade of the Demon).

    In case any english speakers ever end up in Onohara! I highly recommend a visit to this BathHouse. I come here mostly in summer and never miss the opportunity to drop by in the evening to wind down!

    KINBARO, with its all-glass indoor bath and open-air bath hidden in the garden, allows you to enjoy Hinaku Onsen, a hot spring that has been in operation for more than 600 years. In 2009, it became the first lodging facility in Kumamoto Prefecture to be registered as a Tangible Cultural Property (architectural structure). It is currently run by the third-generation owner, who watches over the swallows that nest in the ceiling of the entranceway every year.

The hot spring, with its aroma of sulfur and white smoke, is 100% free-flowing hydrogen sulfide spring water, which is gentle on the skin. There are several separate baths for men and women, and a one-day bathing course including lunch is offered. However, as of December 2021, due to the Corona, one-day bathing is only available on weekdays.
