Sakakibara Onsen Ryokan Seishonagon

I stayed with a No Meals Included plan. The building has an overall old feel, but it is not dirty at all and has a nice atmosphere. The Onsen makes your skin incredibly smooth! It’s so smooth that you might wonder if the body soap is fully rinsed off—amazing! The quality of the spring water is truly excellent. There isn’t an Onsen town nearby, so it’s quiet, but I think they could promote the Onsen more. Since there are several Ryokans nearby, it would be fun if there were a system like some other Onsens where you can use a bath pass to enjoy baths at any Ryokan in the area. Just an idea! It’s really close to Hisai IC, so I hope more people get to know about this place.

The facility has an old-fashioned feel, but it is a place that always brings a sense of calm no matter how many times you visit. The meals are satisfying in both content and quantity. The Onsen water has a slightly silky texture that feels like it wraps around your skin, ensuring warmth. This is a Ryokan you'll want to visit again.
