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.

Why not enjoy the hot springs full of historical atmosphere at this long-established Ryokan (Japanese inn) that was also the setting for the novel? We recommend a room where you can relax while looking out at the lovely garden. The meal is also a luxurious kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）of meat and fish, which will create wonderful memories with your girlfriend.

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.

野沢温泉で宿所有の豊富な湯量の源泉を持つ宿です。こちらなら専用プランは無いですが、女性に嬉しい好みの色浴衣を選べます。また源泉100％掛け流し温泉を無料でカップルで楽しめる貸切露天風呂「赤田の湯」があります。そして食事ですが、信州プレミアム牛肉など地元の旬の食材を使った会席料理が食べられます。特にこちらで食べる野沢菜漬けは本当に美味しいですよ。

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.

Gero Saichoraku Honkan has a Japanese-style room with a large window from which you can see the townscape of Gero Onsen. The view from the open-air bath is especially great! You can eat whatever you like from Buffet, but you can also eat Japanese wagyu steak, seafood such as spiny lobster, and snow crab in the winter for an additional fee! I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the food. With such good service, it's less than 10,000 yen per person. It's a recommended hot spring inn where you can stay cheaply!

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.

最近は行ってないが、スキーで蔵王へ行った時は必ずこの宿にお世話になった。風呂が良い宿、レトロな宿、食事の美味い宿……もちろん色々な宿が有るが、先ずはこの宿が良いと思う。風呂は「離れ湯百八歩」というのが温泉になるが利用時間が短い。本館の風呂は温泉では無いが、眺めは良い。食事は夕食は会席料理で朝はバイキングだ。ドリンクも豊富で和洋料理で標準的だった。

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.

Ginzan Onsen has a good old Taisho era romantic feel to it. There is an open-air bath where you can relax and enjoy the seasonal colors of the mountains above the lake, and I recommend it because you can relax in Ginzan Onsen. It is easy to get to, just 30 minutes by car from Obanazawa City on National Route 13.

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.

I stayed here in the cold month of December. The staff were very hospitable and I had a very enjoyable time. The open-air hot spring was clean and deep, so I was able to soak in it thoroughly. The quality of the spring water was also good. I stayed here on a budget, but I was more than satisfied with the price.

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!

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.
