Insen, Private Source Flowing Hot Spring - Kannon Onsen

I also filled out the in-house questionnaire, but here are a few additional notes. Each Room has its own free-flowing Onsen bath, which is more than satisfying on its own, but I still wanted to enjoy the large public bath as well. There were plenty of bath towels and face towels available there, so I didn’t have to bring damp used towels from my Room and could use fresh dry ones instead. That was truly stress-free and appreciated (as many Accommodations these days only provide the towels in the Room). One suggestion: after dinner, we were given bottled drinking Onsen water. If possible, I’d love it if this were provided upon arrival or already placed in the Room (even better if chilled). That way, after arriving and taking a bath right away, we could immediately enjoy cold water. I’ve written quite a bit, but when I got home and took a bath at home, the hot water felt almost sharp against my skin—making me realize again how gentle Kannnon Onsen’s water is, wrapping the body softly with its soothing quality. It’s an Onsen that makes me want to return again soon. Thank you very much.

I have visited several times, and the Onsen is always excellent. It truly feels like a luxurious Onsen experience. The meals are delicious, with generous portions that left me very satisfied. One small disappointment is the footwear provided when going outside from the accommodation building to areas like the open-air bath. They are difficult to walk in and shared among guests. Walking on slopes can be particularly challenging and feels unsafe at times. Additionally, sharing footwear with others is something I would prefer to avoid. It would be great if we could use our own shoes when stepping outside.The souvenirs were delightful, and we are already talking about visiting again!
