Fushioukaku

The rooms were clean. The staff were helpful. The yukatas for the onsen are on the first floor, there is room service and drink service until 12:00am. The options can be quite limited and pricey but I suggest is order delivery service and get something you’d want. The nearest restaurant is about 10-15 min walk up hill. Karaoke room is quite expensive for 1 hour. The view that we received of the foliage was amazing. The onsen itself was 7/10, it’s not like the onsen you get in Hokkaido but it’s still nice. Overall would stay here again, if other ryokans are full.

We had both a great massage in the spa. We liked the variety of hot water baths. We had a special Japanese dinner with 17 pots and pans; quite an experience. It's handy that a little shops in the lobby sell food, drinks, trinkets and souvenirs. I liked my kimono and wished that I could take it with me. Overall a very Japanese experience.

Everything was amazing, food and staff accomodation was absolutely top notch. The public open air bath was so relaxing, also equipped with a sauna and an ice cold bath. We also had the room with private open air bath and the view to the outside was amazing from the bath. Also has free shuttle to and from the closest train station (Ikeda Station) all you have to do is just make reservation with front desk. There are beautiful hikes nearby as well.

I had a wonderful and relaxing stay. My boyfriend loved the noodle shop.

Good Onsen in the mountainous part of North Osaka, excellent food and nice bath, complete with winter sakura blossoming at the outdoor pool. Only 10min walk from a wonderful temple with rare Buddhist art and autumn foliage. Transportation with a hotel shuttle from the Ikeda town, which has interesting Rakugo Museum with English videos and old castle ruins, close to Minoh Expo park.

The staff was very friendly and the view from our room was amazing. We didn't end up getting to use a lot of the hotel's amenities, including the open-air bath in our room, but we loved the quiet location of the hotel.

Osen was great! Bathroom was small.

Good for families with kids

Good Onsen.

I take a water thermometer when I travel to onsens The water temperatures in both the mens and women's baths were inconsistent, and were never as hot as I have experienced at other facilities. No complaints, just nothing extraordinary. Very convenient to Umeda Station.

Very Dirty Hotel. Dusty from ceiling lights to old and not well maintained equipment. The hotel is right, it is hotel in HELL. Not recommended. The services is really bad from reception from checkin and checkout.

Our stay here was absolutely delightful. Check-in was simple even with the staff's limited English. Our room itself was clean, comfortable and ready by the time we got there. We didn't opt for their dinner but their breakfast spread was plenty and delicious. Service staff were kind and helpful. If you choose to use their free shuttle bus service, remember to call the hotel first to make a booking as attendance will be taken.

Very nice onsen (public indoor, public outdoor and private room bath. Kaiseki dinner could have bern better. It was very rushed and dishes were quite average. Very friendlt staff who greeted us at door.

I can't recommend this hotel enough! Great views, comfortable and clean rooms, you can really get a feel of Japanese style hospitality here. The service was beyond compare, being shown the room and poured tea upon check in as well as private dining areas in a wonderful restaurant. I had a wonderful experience start to finish and the shuttle to and from the hotel from the nearest station is the best complimentary service they offer. I'd love to stay again!

The hotel was on the older side, however it was wonderful. The tatami mats made for a different experience. The grounds around the property was also beautiful. The service was always kind and accommodating. The bus shuttle to the Ikeda rail station was convenient and always on time. I would definitely return. In fact, my adult kids would love for us to have a family trip there.

Best hot spring in short distance from Osaka. Great location, staff and pick up bus available from the hotel to the train station when you arrive or depart.

An older hotel with older equipment but the dinner is great and the hot spring is ok.

It was a great stay, very comfortable place to relax and unwind after all the business of Tokyo.

I have a very nice experience with Fushioukaku. The ryokan was a nice experience for anyone who has not been to a ryokan - traditional Japanese hospitality and outdoor onsen. Although the ryokan itself is further away from the city center, it is worth the stay. They do provide free shuttle to transfer from the hotel to the nearby Ikeda station and back. The ryokan is a little old and need upgrade as far as furniture and carpets in the room but the hospitality and service was outstanding. The cafe and restaurant were clean with very nice and comfortable furniture. If you sit at the outdoor cafe, they will provide blankets in case you are cold. The food were served with excellent presentation and taste delicious as well. The onsen was the highlight. They provide lockers, soap, shampoo, conditioner, blow dryers, sanitized combs, etc. Clean and organized, the onsen was a great experience as well as relaxing. The atmosphere was soothing and peaceful. Overall, I recommend Fushioukaku to anyone who wants to experience traditional Japanese hospitality. I definitely will stay there again.

Hotel a little old. However, hotel staff service were excellent. Overall, due to we went in Japan golden week holiday season, the price is quite high and it's not value for money.
