Hotel Iyaonsen

Older but beautiful mountain onsen hotel. Staff and meals were great. Recommend upgrading your dinner meal.

Absolute highlight of our Japan adventure. Impeccable service. Beautiful multi course dinner and extravagant breakfast included. Incomparable location. The onsen was a once in a lifetime experience- stunning.

An amazing place and team that offer memorable experience.

寧靜、舒適、有特色

酒店舒服，房間寬躺，環境太優美，服務員態度友善及非常好，食物優雅，味道新鮮！不足是露天風呂沒有冼澡地方，容易着涼。纜車是令酒店最有特色，有新鮮感，令客人會有重遊的計劃！

This was one of my ultimate Onsen destination for a long time. I read an article about this place being one of the top 5 go-to-onsen not only for Japanese and Onsen lovers all over the world as you need to operate cable car down to the below Iya Valley to enjoy outside onsen with spectacular views. I enjoyed both male and female side in 2 days and I was simply overwhelmed by the scenery. Only down side was the water is not hot enough as it is a naturally flowing onsen water without heating up. Kaiseki was unique since they cooked local fresh water seafood mostly which was a rare for travelers to enjoy. Indoor onsen was also great as well. Only negative part was we were checked into 6th floor and my mom had a difficult time to go down and up to lobby for cable car Onsen, basement for indoor Onsen, Kaiseki was 5th fl but breakfast was at the lobby level. For elderly customer, try to get a room near the lobby just in case.

大きなホテルではないので、隅々まで気配りがなされている感じで、とても素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

お料理も素晴らしかったです

辿り着く前は少々細い道もあり神経使います(運転に自信ある方は問題なし) ケーブルカーで降りていく温泉は泉質もよくお肌つるつるになります！ ケーブルカーがいないと戻れないのでロスタイムはありますが、そこも含めてのんびり過ごすと良いのでは

This was our favorite part of a 2 week Japan trip. While the onsen’s were great, and amenities were fantastic, my favorite was the location and wilderness. Very remote, with lots and long “2 way road but 1car space” roads before you make it to the hotel which has parking for about 10 guest cars. 10/10!

Great Riokan and facilities. The open-air onsen accessible only by zipcar would be a destination of its own. If you are planning a trip to Oboke Gorge and the Iya Valley, this would be the wisest option. Just consider the CRAZY zigzagging roads made out of impossible curves to drive all around the valley. Really beautiful to see, a little nightmare to drive through. Two way roads where you would barely have space for one small car where you would constantly be looking at the mirrors at every curve and pray not to encounter another car on the curve or tightest parts of the roads.

纜車溫泉很有特色 職員超級友善 膳食還可以 地點真的很偏遠，要注意交通安排 附近真的什麼也沒有 只有大自然

温泉♨️がケーブル乗って行くのとか 施設内の温泉も24時間で良かった

Secluded Hot Spring Resort Hotel - Highly Satisfied" I was very satisfied with hotel. The staff were excellent and attentive. They were aware that my daughter does not like to eat fish, and they tried to suggest that I choose the Western-style breakfast instead of the Japanese-style breakfast, which typically includes fish. However, due to the language barrier, they found another staff member who could speak English to better communicate this thoughtful recommendation. Additionally, one of the staff members had a minor accident while helping us with our luggage. I hope they recover soon. Overall, I am very satisfied and highly recommend this secluded hot spring resort hotel.

The hotel room is so big. The food tastes good

山の中で何も無いところですが自然に癒されました 宿は凄くよかったです

前台職員的英文不錯，帶入房的阿姨就靠小抄努力的諗著英文介紹給我們 （當然我們是有聽沒懂，最後直接借她的小抄看 酒店的附近環境沒留意到，因為入住2日都是下雨，checkout 當日還暴雨到JR停駅，好在我們有預約Taxi tour，堅持了2小時遊覽，但因暴雨提早結束截我們到琴平

Dans un lieu superbe un très bel hôtel. Le onsen au bord de la rivière est très beau, celui dans la chambre est très pratique et agréable. La chambre est belle et grande. Le repas du soir est tout simplement gastronomique (si vous appréciez la cuisine japonaise). C'est cher mais vous en avez largement pour votre argent.

とても良かったです。

Beautiful scenery and what an amazing experience to take the cable car down to have hot spring!
