Hotel Matsubagawa Onsen

The baths are outstanding above all else. The water quality is second to none, with none of that sharp odor unique to some Onsen, and the water is clear and flawless.　As for the meals, the rice is Niida rice with a wonderful aroma, refills are free, and both dinner and breakfast leave you completely satisfied. The menu showed great taste and attention to detail.　We stayed in a twin Room, which felt more spacious than expected with no sense of being cramped. I thought it might be a bit far from the Room to the baths, but once I actually walked it, it was no problem at all—after all, I soaked in the Onsen six times.　For access, I initially worried because the road seemed narrow. For about 3 km it becomes a single lane, but after driving it there was nothing to worry about.　All in all, this is a Hotel I can’t praise enough. I would definitely return—and even just buying a multi-visit pass to come for the baths alone would be well worth it.

We visited with our family nearly 10 years ago and returned this time because we wanted to enjoy a great Onsen again after a long while. The water was just as wonderful as before, and we were able to relax and enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The Facility didn’t feel outdated at all—everyone, from the front desk to the dining area, was attentive and thoughtful with their kind words and care, making our stay truly comfortable.The cherry blossoms in full bloom seen from the window were amazing, and we’re already saying we’d love to come back every year in this season. There’s also a cherry blossom park just a short walk away—a hidden gem. Highly recommended.
