  • [Couples' Trip] What are the recommended onsen(hot spring) Ryokan (Japanese inn) in onsen(hot spring)?

My girlfriend and I are planning our New Year's visit to a shrine (Hatsumode) at Izumo Taisha. We'd like to stay one night at Tamatsukuri Onsen afterward. Since it's a special trip, I'd really appreciate recommendations for an onsen ryokan with a focus on the quality of the hot spring water (onsen).

Shiraishiya

44-2 Tamayu-cho, Tamatsukuri, Matsue-shi

  • Enjoy Complimentary Drinks at the Post-Bath Relaxation Lounge!

  • 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!

  • Beautiful skin bath

  • onsen(hot spring) Onsen is said to contain skin-beautifying ingredients that are good for use as lotion. You can enjoy this smooth hot onsen(hot spring) in a luxurious cypress bath. The food is a luxurious and delicious kaiseki(a traditional Japanese multiple course meal )prepared by the chef, who is a source of pride for his skills. We recommend taking a stroll along the river before your meal.

  • Among the famous Tamatsukuri Onsen onsen(hot spring) known for their skin-beautifying properties, the hot springs are particularly particular about their quality.

  • After your first visit to onsen(hot spring), you'll want to relax in a hot spring! We recommend Kasuien Minami in onsen(hot spring) Onsen. The attraction here is the large 100% natural hot spring drawn directly from the hotel's own hot spring source. The thick water is very gentle on the skin and is expected to have skin-beautifying effects. Guests can also receive beauty treatments at the attached spa. The cosmetics used at the beauty salon are also based on onsen(hot spring) water, so they make a great souvenir.

  • Kasuien Minami

  • The hotel is calming and the food is delicious. onsen(hot spring) is quiet, and the open-air bath is on the upper floors, so the view is great and open.

Hoseikan Hotel

1191-1 Tamatsukuri, Tamayu-cho, Matsue-city

  • A High-Class Ryokan Where Even the Showa Emperor Stayed

  • This is a ryokan in Tamatsukuri Onsen that maintains a high level of prestige and tradition; even the Showa Emperor once stayed here. It is composed of four distinct wings, each with a different atmosphere, allowing it to meet the various needs of its guests. The baths draw from the water of an onsen said to be Japan's oldest, and the spring water is very popular with female guests because it's famous for its beautifying properties.

  • It's very tasteful.

  • The entire Tamatsukuri Onsen is located along the river, allowing for a relaxing atmosphere. There's a foot bath, small bronze statues, and small shops, all within walking distance of the inn. The building is old, but it's a prestigious inn. The hospitality shown in the welcome and farewell was palpable. You can also enjoy the hot springs at the neighboring Yamanoi hot springs.

Matsunoyu Hotel

1215 Tamayucho-Tamatsukuri, Matsue-shi

  • A Ryokan With Private Open-Air Baths (Kashikiri Rotenburo)

  • The natural hot spring here is a sulfate spring, which is said to have anti-aging properties. I remember my skin feeling very smooth and moisturized after bathing! The large public baths each include a rotenburo (outdoor bath), a jacuzzi, and a sauna, all offering a relaxing view of the traditional Japanese garden. Furthermore, they have four different private open-air baths (Kashikiri Rotenburo) that you can reserve, each with a different ambiance. The waiting area is spacious with plenty of chairs, so you can wait comfortably. The food was also delicious and very generous in portion size. The area just outside the ryokan feels like a traditional onsen town, which made for a fun sightseeing stroll!
