Hotel Kiso-Onsen Kogane-no-Yu

With Mt. Ontake right in front of us, and being on the first floor, it was convenient with both the bath and dining area close by. It was great that we could use the bath at any time, and the Onsen was excellent. The meals were delicious as well. Thank you very much. We were able to get away from everyday life and relax at a leisurely pace.

A wonderful Hotel!Set in beautiful nature with a close view of Mt. Ontake, the staff were warm and truly lovely. Thank you very much.Inside the building Everything was kept very clean, and we were able to relax comfortably with a private tatami Room with beds and a table. My husband, who suffers from hay fever and had a stuffy nose, said it would be nice to have one more pillow available to use. This time we booked No Meals Included, so it was disappointing that we couldn’t try the meals, but there is a glass-walled restaurant where you can dine while enjoying the surrounding nature. There was also a karaoke Room available if you could make a Reservation.Baths They were clean, and there were several types of shampoo and other amenities to try. The shower water pressure was strong, and we enjoyed three different baths—great overall! However, personally I felt the water temperature was on the lukewarm side. It was pleasant, but it took time to warm up (I’d love it if just one bath could be slightly hotter). For the mixed-gender open-air bath, yukata are provided so you can enter with peace of mind, and seeing the stars clearly made it an amazing space. We were told at the front desk that it might feel lukewarm/cold before entering, but in late March it was still far too cold—it turned into an endurance test. After getting out of the bath, the yukata stuck to my body coldly and I got completely chilled.In a warmer season, I think we’ll be able to take our time enjoying the stars from the open-air bath as well. I’d love to stay again when I have another chance.
