Hossyou Hotel — Hotel in Kokonoe

ONSEN review: amazing onsen with 4 different sources of water!! Entrance ¥800, shampoos provided, you need to bring your own towel. Operation time, weekdays and Sundays: 10:00-21:00, holidays 10:00-19:00, Tuesdays and Fridays maintenance days 14:30-20:00, there is parking. You can't see your stuff while bathing, lockers ¥Take the elevator to the floor below the reception. On your way to the onsen, there is a nice photo exhibition of Kuju. Many places to wash up with a shower head and a stool, one normal shower. One large size rectangular shape indoor pool. There is a large outdoor area with outdoor tubs: a small sized circular pool with cold water, a big sized tub with rocks and sulfur water, a place where the water falls from above on you working as a massage (3 little waterfalls), a medium-small sized circular tub which has a roof above it and finally a jacuzzi. All of them have different onsen water as the hotel has 4 different sources!!! I've never seen 4 sources in just one onsen, it is quite unique! The setting in the outdoor area is gorgeous, in a fine day you can see the surrounding mountains and you are surrounded by greenery. Facilities were excellent, clean and well maintained. An amazing place to relax yourself after hours of hiking! All gensen kakenagashi Source no.1: 47.9°C, pH 2.1 Source no.2: 24.1°C, pH 5.2 Source no.3: 94.1°C, pH 6.8 Source no.4:...

And if you want to try drinking water that tastes like vinger, one of the springs is an acidic spring that tastes like vinger. Freaking amazing. Def worth...

Well managed, beautiful views of the mountains, easy access to hiking. I have stayed in many ryokan and this place is just wonderful. The owners sense for interior decorations are very nice. Highly recommend. It is worth the effort after the bustle of the cities to get to Kuju National Park and enjoy the mountains, volcano,...
