Okuhida Hot Spring Village Bar Hotel

"This is a very nice resort hotel. They have quite attentive staff and lots of amenities. The 4 person room was large enough for the three of us to spread out our three very comfy futon beds. Plus there were proper chairs and a small table by the windows. It also had a fridge and water kettle. The hotel has two onsens, one open to the public. The one for hotel guests is in the basement and has items for free whereas the public one on the main floor charges for items like a hairbrushes. There’s a huge souvenir shop and several restaurants. If you go over a holiday book ahead. We were there the night before Culture Day (November 3) and every one was booked up. Fortunately there’s a 7/11 across the street as the local restaurants were closed. The only con was the massage. They are done in the entrance to the public onsen with no separation like a screen or curtains. So it’s quite noisy. The massage itself was just okay. Still nice after a long day of travel, but a soak in the onsen was just as effective. "

"Our Japanese style room was a great experience with an amazing view of the mountain, river, and waterfalls. The half board dinner and breakfast were excellent meals and they accommodated our vegetarian diet (with advanced notice). And best of all the numerous hot spring options were so relaxing and amazing. Had we known it would be so great we would have stayed longer!!"

"Great views, convenient shuttle and not far from the centre by taxi if you miss the shuttle. Friendly staff. Old fashioned but clean and charming. Would recommend."

"It was hard to appreciate the full experience as the staff did not have an English translation for key protocol or amenities (I realise it is noted when booking that staff don’t speak English ) But to move forward and guests to experience the full Onsen experience this would be an enhancement The room was spacious but suffered from condensation and could do with some more up to date Electrical points "
