I recommend this inn in Kinosaki Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture. You can enjoy the open-air bath while looking at the lush green scenery. If you and your girlfriend want to enjoy a relaxing hot spring bath, you can either stay in a room with an open-air bath or rent a private spa that includes a hot spring bath and a bedrock bath. When the snow covers the place, you can see a beautiful view that is different from usual.

Dinner is served in a private room or in the room. The dishes change depending on what's in season, including seasonal dishes like grilled flounder yolk tofu, tuna yam, snapper buds, sweet shrimp, etc. You can eat a plate of country side dishes, miso potatoes, Aqua Farm eggs, and other breakfast staples. The baths are quite extensive, and you can enjoy the Wado mineral springs in the indoor rock bath and open-air bath, as well as the indoor and open-air cypress baths, and there is a large free private bath and private bedrock bath. What's great about this is that the prices are reasonable.

Yuzawa Grand Hotel is easily accessible, about an hour by Shinkansen from Tokyo. With a ski resort right in front of it, it is a recommended inn for winter activity trips. You can enjoy a luxurious Buffet with a wide variety of options, including two meals a day, nigiri sushi, seafood beach barbecue, and all-you-can-eat steak teppanyaki. You can enjoy the hot springs of Yuzawa in the large public bath or the open-air garden-style bath with a sense of spaciousness.

This ryokan boasts six private, in-house hot spring sources, giving it one of the most abundant hot spring flows in Japan! A special feature is its huge mixed-gender outdoor bath (Rotenburo), which is so big it feels like a pond, offering a truly liberating experience. The open-air baths attached to the guest rooms also use pure, free-flowing spring water (Gensen Kakenagashi), allowing you to fully enjoy the famous "beauty hot spring" in a private setting. They even have a spot where you can enjoy a foot bath (Ashiyu) while gazing at the beautiful garden—you should definitely give it a try!

This is an inn in Nozawa Onsen with its own abundant hot spring water. There are no special plans here, but women can choose their favorite color yukata. There is also a private open-air bath called "Akata no Yu" where couples can enjoy 100% natural hot spring water for free. As for food, you can eat kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）using local seasonal ingredients such as Shinshu premium beef. The Nozawana pickles you eat here are especially delicious.

This hotel is convenient for accessing Shika-no-yu at the foot of Mt. Nasu. The hotel is located in Nasu Yumoto Onsen. Shika-no-yu is 1.1 km away, and can be reached in 3 minutes by car. It has twin rooms suitable for couples, so it is recommended. The accommodation price is also within budget, with plans starting from 10,800 yen for one night with two meals. The hotel is proud of its extensive Buffet meals, including tuna sashimi, sushi, freshly fried tempura, and chilled chawanmushi made with Nasu Goyo eggs.

This inn has luxurious suite-type rooms with open-air baths, so it's recommended for anniversaries! You can enjoy Breathtaking view ocean view from the deck terrace of the guest rooms and the open-air bath. It is a high-class inn with a nice atmosphere. For meals, you can enjoy exquisite cuisine made with plenty of Izu's seafood.

I haven't been there recently, but whenever I went skiing in Zao, I always stayed at this inn. There are of course many types of inns, such as inns with great baths, retro inns, and inns with delicious food, but I think this inn is a good choice. The bath is a hot spring called "independent guest cottages Hyakuhachiho," but the opening hours are short. The bath in the main building is not a hot spring, but it has a nice view. For meals, dinner is kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）, and breakfast is Buffet. There is a wide selection of drinks, and the Japanese and Western cuisine is standard.

鬼怒川プラザホテルは、鬼怒川沿いの風情あふれる場所に建ち、絶景の渓谷美を堪能できる宿です。大浴場や露天風呂のほか、貸切風呂もありますので恋人とのご利用にもお薦めな温泉宿です。露天風呂付き客室もありますので、彼女とお2人でゆっくりと大切な時間をお過ごしいただくことも。また、北関東ならではの食材や栃木県の特産品などをふんだんに使ったお食事も評判。お部屋食にてお召し上がりいただけるプランもありますので、クリスマスのご旅行にもぴったりでしょう。

The price of the accommodation varies depending on the date and the room you stay in, but the cheapest option is about 17,000 yen per person for one night with two meals. All rooms have an open-air bath, which is designed so that you can bathe while looking at the Japanese garden. There is a large hot spring bath and an open-air bath, and you can bathe while drinking Japanese sake. Dinner is creative Japanese cuisine in a semi-private dining room. The main dish is Chichibu mushroom and herb Sangen pork Shabu Shabu（Japanese hotpot）. For dessert, a handmade pudding made with Chichibu soba tea and many other local ingredients are used. After dinner, there is a night view tour to Chichibu's sacred places, "Tabidachi no Oka."

It is located very close to Zao Onsen Ski Resort. I could see the slopes from my room. The large natural hot spring bath has an indoor bath and an open-air bath, both of which are large. The open-air bath was designed so that the bathtub was under the eaves. At the breakfast Buffet, I had Yamagata cuisine such as Yamagata beef curry and ball konnyaku.

From the rooms on the higher floors, you can see the night view of the hot spring town and the mountains of Gero. I think it would be a great atmosphere for couples to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The hot springs, known as "Bijin-no-yu (a hot spring of beauty)," make your skin smooth and silky, which is great for women. You can also enjoy the night view of the hot spring town from the open-air observation bath, so you can relax in it. Dinner is a buffet with all-you-can-eat Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisine, including churrasco, sushi, tempura, and local dishes, and it is very satisfying.

I recommend the prestigious Rihga Royal, founded by the business community of Osaka. The service from the staff was also good. You can choose from restaurants with a luxurious atmosphere to casual ones, but I recommend Nadaman, where the food looks beautiful.

This is a luxury Ryokan (Japanese inn) that costs over 30,000 yen per night. The rooms with open-air baths are 12.5 tatami mat rooms, 5 tatami mat rooms, and a reception room. The open-air bath attached to the room is large enough for two adults to bathe comfortably. For meals, we had kaiseki cuisine in our room, mainly seafood, due to the local nature of the place.

While most colored yukata rentals are only available to women, this hot spring inn is unusual in that it also has men's yukata available. The "Miraku-ryu yukata" provided here is a separate top and bottom, so it's easy to put on, and they also rent retro coats for cold days. You can also rent colored tabi socks, which are a stylish touch that will make walking outside a fun experience. For women in particular, walking outside can be a pain if the yukata comes undone, so this is a highly recommended rental. A detachable collar and obiage are also included, so your outfit won't look like it's been rented. The hot springs in the building are also open and spacious, so this inn is guaranteed to have a satisfying hot spring date!

A trip to Izumo Taisha Shrine and Tamatsukuri Onsen sounds great! If you're looking for a hot spring Ryokan (Japanese inn), we recommend Kasuien Minami. This inn has its own hot spring source, and the large public bath is 100% natural hot spring. The quality of Tamatsukuri Onsen's spring water is highly effective in moisturizing the skin, leaving it smooth and silky. There are also private baths available, so you can enjoy a special time just for the two of you. The food is kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）made with local ingredients, so you can enjoy the delicious flavors of Shimane.

I would like to recommend Suimeikan. Dinner was not Buffet, but a Japanese-Western fusion banquet using fresh ingredients from Tobida, but there was a lot of food on the menu and I was full. Breakfast was a Japanese-Western Buffet, and the menu was also rich. There are several baths, but the large observation bath was impressive as it offered a night view of the city of Gero.

"Yutoriro Yamaga" is a recommended inn that offers a day trip plan with lunch included! For lunch, you can enjoy a delicious Japanese meal that includes pork loin teppanyaki. One drink is also included. The hot spring is rare nationwide, and you can enjoy smooth alkaline water that contains natural radon. You can relax in the open-air bath or large bath.

This hotel offers a rock sauna for two and a rental service for colorful yukata. The open-air bath and indoor bath are spacious and the location is great, so it was very relaxing. There was also a multi-course meal plan that focused on Ehime's local cuisine. Please enjoy your trip to Ehime to the fullest.
