Okutsu Onsen Resort Yoneya Club Okutsu

We stayed with our family and our Standard Poodle.The exterior of the Accommodation felt a bit old, but the guest room was clean. Best of all, the room had a semi-open-air Onsen bath, dogs are welcome, and for this price—including dinner and breakfast—for a family of four plus a large dog!The meals were just the right amount (we don’t eat much), and they tasted nicely good.There were very few staff members. The only people we saw were:- The front desk staff at check-in (the owner?)- The person serving dinner (a very cute Asian foreign staff member?)- The person serving breakfast (a kind-looking mom-type)So three people in total.Futons are self-service—you lay them out yourself.Even with the cost-saving approach, everything was well within what we found acceptable, so we were able to enjoy an affordable stay with an Onsen, good food, dog walks, and a relaxing, comfortable time.Personally, I felt the Onsen was a little lukewarm.Also, it was quite cold at night (for walks), probably due to the area.Overall, it feels like a great-value Accommodation with a nostalgic Showa-era vibe—in a good way.It’s hard to put into words, but I’d like to visit again.

I stayed on a weekday. It’s about an hour from my home, so I finished my errands by noon and left in the afternoon. It must have been bustling in the past. I also visited Okutsu Onsen 20 years ago, so it brought back memories. The laundry area and footbath were under construction.
