A Property nestled in the secluded area of Hita Onsen, featuring a Western-style building exuding Taisho-era romance and separate accommodations with open-air baths.

Located in Hita, the Little Kyoto of Kyushu, Oita, Hita Onsen is a historic hot spring area. The Ryokan Kayausagi is situated in Hita Onsen Kotohira. Enjoy the magnificent nature of Oita and Hita and the tranquility created by Kayausagi to the fullest.

  • Stayed during a trip with my two sisters to coincide with the Hita Ontayaki Festival. The staff were friendly and kind, the food was delicious, and everything from the retro Room to the Onsen's large bath and the compact Japanese-style garden was wonderful. We stayed in a Room by the river, and the sound of flowing water was very soothing. Since it is a relocated building of an old Japanese house or Western-style mansion, I would love to stay in other Rooms as well.

  • 1 The “Diamond member” perk was supposed to include free drinks in the refrigerator, but it was empty from the start. Disappointing. You need to buy drinks in.g advance at a liquor shop. 2 Please properly clean the dark grime that accumulates on the bottom of the open-air bath attached to the Room—was this a shortcut? The private family bath is good. 3 The hot spring quality is outstanding, which makes it even more disappointing that the staff do not seem to know about its alkaline, silky texture and skin-beautifying benefits. What a waste.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Entrance

Relax at a nostalgic inn, a holiday in Japan.

Passing through the entrance curtain, the atmosphere changes completely. The small path leading to the main house is adorned with beautiful moss, the sound of flowing water, sunlight filtering through the trees, the sound of rain, and moonlight. The trees change their appearance with the seasons. Inside, the architecture exudes the romanticism of the Taisho era, with retro furniture and accessories found throughout. The deep presence of the traditional house and the nature of Hita blend together, creating a timeless traditional Japanese landscape. Fully enjoy "Hatago Kayusagi" with all your senses.
