This is a historic luxury Ryokan (Japanese inn) that has many repeat customers in Japan. You can enjoy the famous "Kinsen" hot spring in Arima Onsen, Hyogo Prefecture. For dinner, you can enjoy a seasonal kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）. There is also a Japanese-style garden inside the building, and being able to enjoy the view in a relaxing space is the charm of this adults-only inn.

Even the standard rooms have a wooden deck and you can enjoy the ocean view from the open-air bath. The hospitality and food are popular among Japanese people, and this is a hot spring Ryokan (Japanese inn) that has a high level of satisfaction. There is no large public bath, but there are private baths that will be enough to satisfy you. Ryokan (Japanese inn) is located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, in Tomonoura, which was also the setting for the Ghibli animated film "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" directed by Hayao Miyazaki. If you are going to Hiroshima, we recommend sightseeing in Tomonoura.

We recommend the Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Ichii, Ryokan (Japanese inn) located in a hot spring area 25 minutes by bus from Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi Station. The tourist spot, the Yubatake, is right in front of the hotel, and although it's limited, you can see it from the rooms. The open-air bath is surrounded by nature, the air is fresh, and the large bath is comfortable. Yumomi (A technique in which a board approximately 180cm long is placed in the hot spring to stir the water and lower the temperature until it is ready to bathe.) experience costs 600 yen for adults, so it's perfect for tourists. For meals, you can choose between a Japanese course meal or a kaiseki meal.

The inn is located a 3-minute walk from Kobe Electric Railway Arima Onsen Station. There is also a shuttle bus. The cleaning is thorough and you can stay comfortably. There is free Wi-Fi, so you can do research without any problems. There is an open-air bath and a spacious large bath. The brown open-air bath, which is unique to Arima Onsen, feels very good. There are Japanese-style rooms where you can experience the Japanese atmosphere, and there are rooms with beds for those who don't like futons.

The hotel is well located and recommended for sightseeing in Hakone. The rooms are clean because it has only been built recently, and there are only 10 rooms in total, so you can spend your time in a relaxed atmosphere. There are also rooms with open-air baths, so you can spend a more luxurious time. Although it is a hotel, the exterior has a Japanese atmosphere that is typical of Japan, so I think it will be a good memory.

This is a pension-style hotel with a garden on the premises. The natural hot spring bath is available for private use 24 hours a day, so you can relax. The luxurious rooms are highly recommended for this price range. You can experience Yumomi (A technique in which a board approximately 180cm long is placed in the hot spring to stir the water and lower the temperature until it is ready to bathe.) experience at "Netsu-no-yu," a 13-minute walk from the pension.

This inn is located in Hyogo Prefecture, where you can enjoy beautiful scenery. As the name suggests, it is an environment where you can enjoy Japanese sunsets to your heart's content. All rooms have an open-air bath, so it is recommended for those who are concerned about sharing the large public bath or hot spring with other guests. For dinner, kaiseki（a traditional Japanese multiple course meal ）made with locally produced ingredients is served. Junior high school students and younger are not allowed to stay, so you can enjoy the Japanese garden in a quiet space.

This is a historic Ryokan (Japanese inn) located near Inuyama Castle. Not only is it worth seeing the Japanese castle, but the magnificent view of the Kiso River is also worth a visit. All rooms are equipped with cypress baths, making it perfect for those who value privacy while bathing. The inn is about a 7-minute taxi ride from Meitetsu Inuyama Station. Alternatively, you can use the shuttle service with a prior reservation.

This luxury hotel is located in the Arashiyama area, a popular tourist destination in Japan. It specializes in accommodation for adults, and some rooms have open-air baths. In addition to the beautiful Arashiyama scenery, one of the attractions is the creative cuisine that combines French and Japanese cuisine. It is about a 10-minute walk from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, so it is also convenient to get there by train.

Located in Okayama Prefecture, this inn features a typically Japanese wooden structure. It is a small, high-class inn that is registered as a tangible cultural property, and its exterior and interior have a charm that gives a sense of its long history. In front of the inn is a lounge that was renovated from a 100-year-old traditional Japanese house. In the evening, enjoy a drink in this lounge where quiet music is playing, and soak in the afterglow of your trip to Japan.

The inn is a 20-minute drive from Gamagori Station on the JR Tokaido Main Line, and a shuttle bus (advance reservation required) is also available. The location is easily accessible from urban areas in the Tokai region. It is also very convenient for visiting tourist spots such as Laguna Ten Bosch and Takeshima. We recommend this inn to those who want to do a bit of sightseeing as well as experience the hot springs.

How about staying at this resort hotel where you can enjoy Kusatsu Onsen? You can experience Yumomi (A technique in which a board approximately 180cm long is placed in the hot spring to stir the water and lower the temperature until it is ready to bathe.)) at the hotel for a fee. The hotel has a variety of outdoor facilities, including hot springs, a pool, amusement facilities, tennis courts, and cycling, so everyone from adults to children can enjoy themselves. There is a shuttle bus to Kusatsu Station. You can also walk to the Yubatake, or there is a shuttle bus available.

I think 10,000 yen for two meals is a bit steep, but it's possible with a limited plan. Since it's close to the Yubatake, you can also experience Yumomi (A technique in which a board approximately 180cm long is placed in the hot spring to stir the water and lower the temperature until it is ready to bathe.), and being close to the Yubatake means being close to the bus terminal, so I think this is a place that meets your needs. Kusatsu's selling point is the quality of its hot spring water, so I recommend this inn at the source of the Yubatake hot spring water.

We recommend "Boun" as Ryokan (Japanese inn) in Kusatsu Onsen. It takes 25 minutes by bus from Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi Station to reach Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal, and then a 7-minute walk from there to Ryokan. Near the Ryokan, you can see the popular Yubatake hot springs, a show of Yumomi (A technique in which a board approximately 180cm long is placed in the hot spring to stir the water and lower the temperature until it is ready to bathe.), and experience Yumomi. Ryokan has six baths, including an open-air bath, so you can enjoy the hot springs to your heart's content. For meals, you can also try Himemasu dishes.
