Hoteller i Oboke Iya Onsen-kyo, Miyoshi

Hotel Kazurabashi byder på smuk udsigt over naturen fra tagterrassen med varme kilder samt værelser i japansk stil og en spisestue, hvor der tilberedes mad i hjerte ved gæstens bord. tldr: perfect stay, we'd stay there again! Nice staff, good food, amazing Onsen, good value for money. Long version: Well kept, well maintained and clean hotel. We stayed in a tatami-style room, which was very roomy for 2 people. Our room on 3rd floor was facing the road, with a nice view of the mountains. Despite being located next to a road, it's no problem as there is little traffic during the day and almost none at night. There is an outdoor Onsen with a view of either the mountains during the day or the stars at night. It is so relaxing to enjoy the stars in the onsen after a day of hiking! For people arriving by car, there's plenty of parking spaces right in front of the Hotel. For people arriving by bus, the bus stop is right in front of the Hotel. Very convenient. The staff is amazing! They really, really made us feel welcome and put in a lot of effort to make our stay great. Big "Thank You" to the staff!! The food (breakfast and dinner) was great as well. It's a variety of local and general Japanese food, served on traditional low tables (that allow western type of sitting with a hole in the floor below the table). The Hotel is a bit more expensive than what we usually book and we were hesitant when we booked it, but after staying we think everything considered (food, onsen, staff) it's good value for money and we'd stay there again. Iya Valley: We stayed for 3 nights, which means two full days. We didn't have a car so we relied on the public bus, which means there's basically one bus to Mount Tsuragi in the morning and one bus back in the afternoon. We went hiking on Mount Tsuragi & sight-seeing in Ochiai village on one day, to Nogoro (Scarecrow) village & double vine bridges the other day. By car, it can be done on a single day, by bus you need 2 days due to the timetable. Arrival & departure day can be used for the vine bridge close to the Hotel, visiting Oboke and the temple in Kotohira.

Obokekyo Mannaka ligger lige ved Oboke Gorge og tilbyder indkvartering med gratis WiFi og japanske Yukata-kåber. I particularly like the interior decor of the room. It is new and modern and yet retain some Japanese elements, like a tatami floor in the sitting area. It is clean and attends to details such as providing a lot of sockets for electrical appliances. It is conveniently located in the Oboke region

Sunriver Oboke ligger i Miyoshi, 29 km fra Tsurugi-san-stoleliften og 7 km fra Iya Hot Spring. Der er gratis WiFi og gratis privat parkering på stedet. Samtlige værelser har fladskærms-tv. Loved the outdoor baths, views and location! And the breakfast was delicious.

Hotel Iya Onsen byder på smuk udsigt over de skiftende årstider i Iya-dalen samt indkvartering i japansk stil og naturlige varme kilder. Springs were spectacular. Room with deck was enjoyable.
