Kojohama Onsen Hotel Izumi

The hot spring water was wonderfully silky. The bath area was clean and spacious, and from the open-air bath we could see a sky full of stars—I could have stayed in forever. We only had breakfast, but it was delicious and very filling. I think this is a lovely Accommodation where you can relax and feel at ease.

I always stay here. Since it was the winter solstice, the baths were busier than usual. Late at night, while I was relaxing in the quiet open-air bath, I noticed a dark shadow... Thinking it couldn’t be, I splashed the water—turns out it was a deer. I was relieved it was just a deer. The food, the baths, the views, the tranquility, and even the ice-cold beer—everything makes this place one of my favorites.
