Katsuragi Onsen Happuu No Yu

“秘境温泉”

The meals are lavish. It’s a little far.

The breakfast and dinner werr splendid, we had the kaiseki dinner for all 3 nights and the last night was a very nice shabu shabu set. The public onsen was perfect, many to choose and great atmosphere. I also love the sauna and heating rokm where you can lay down and take a nap

The staff were well‑trained and spoke politely. The heating throughout the building was low, and some corridors let in outside air; there were no slippers inside, making the stairs awkward, the outdoor bath was scalding, and the hot‑water jets seemed capable of burning you, yet there was no warning sign. Adjusting the temperature required a phone call to the front each time, which was extremely inconvenient, and even after calling the hot water kept running for a while.

The food showed a lot of care and was truly delicious, and I appreciated being able to borrow the hotel‑provided robes repeatedly. My first time trying the body scrub was pleasant thanks to the friendly staff, making me feel comfortable and relaxed, and I’d definitely go back. Because I visited in summer, the robes were too hot; offering a summer version would be better. Also, the bath hours were fixed, so opening the facilities earlier in the morning rather than only at 10 am would be appreciated.

The flowing spring hot‑spring itself was wonderful and the facilities were decent, about OK, yet the service was shockingly poor. I booked hoping to show my elderly parents the autumn colours of Koyasan, but the experience was far from the “onsen ryokan” I expected, feeling more like a cheap Japanese health‑spa that merely attached a lodging block. While the spring water was excellent and the hardware was passable, the biggest disappointment was the sub‑par service: reception, meals and night bathing were identical to those for day‑guests, the hot‑spring closed at 22:00 alongside day‑users, and dinner placed us next to a local ramen crowd while we tried to enjoy a kaiseki meal. There was no greeting or farewell, and the staff behaved at a health‑spa level. The service was so astonishingly bad it reminded me of a trip to China. Koyasan has few ryokans, and during the peak foliage season I had little choice, yet even on a weekday the cost for three people was about ¥80,000 without a discount, offering no sense of value; the hotel in Kyoto the day before felt much better. Working in tourism across Japan, I’ve never seen such a China‑like property. Deciding between an expensive temple lodging and this place was tough, but next time I’ll stay at a temple inn and use the onsen just for a ¥1,000 day‑pass.
