Okuhida Yakushi No Yu Honjin

The bedrooms are massive and comfortable. Onsen are very relaxing, especially the large outdoor one which has dedicated times for each gender. Staff are very friendly and very helpful. Try the meal one night for a real Japanese experience.

As a lot of people have said, it feels like it’s not changed since the 1970s, although the rooms are slightly better than the rest of the hotel. It could do with a total refurb to bring it up to date as the furnishings, fittings are totally outdated. It almost feels like you’re in the Overlook Hotel, which is charming in its own way.
