Togura Kamiyamada Onsen Ogiwara-kan

This was our first stay. The staff were always smiling and wonderful, and this lovely Accommodation helped us relax and unwind. Every dish was delicious, and we ended up eating until we were completely full.We’ve found an Accommodation we’d love to visit again.Since we enjoy a slow-paced trip, we would be happy if breakfast could be served at 8:30 and checkout could be at 11:00.Next time, we’d like to visit with the whole family.

We decided on Ogihara because our family wanted to visit an Onsen again after a long time, and it offers free-flowing hot spring baths. Right after check-in, we headed straight to the large public bath. It was probably fully booked since it was the first day of a three-day weekend, but even families with small children followed good Onsen etiquette, so we could relax. The large public bath is on the first floor, and the open-air bath is on the top floor. Both had a strong sulfur scent, and our skin felt nicely moisturized. The open-air bath was a deep green color on check-in day, but by the next morning it had changed to a slightly greenish milky white—really giving that true free-flowing Onsen feel. We also appreciated being able to enjoy an elaborate breakfast in a private room. Everyone in our family agreed it was a wonderful Onsen.
