I initially booked this place as a stop before heading to Kamikochi the next morning. However, due to a change in plans, I didn’t need to rush out—and I’m so glad I had more time to enjoy the stay!
The room was very spacious and thoughtfully separated in a traditional Japanese ryokan style. The futon was incredibly warm and cozy, and even without turning on the air conditioner, the weather was cool and refreshing during my stay.
The location is very quiet—feels like a small village or local community—and just a short distance from Hirayu Onsen, where you can catch the bus to Kamikochi. Parking at the hotel was also convenient.
The room itself felt neither too old nor brand new—just the right kind of comfort. The onsen area, however, looked a bit older. The outdoor bath had some visible dust and cloudiness in the water, but the view was wonderfully serene. Shampoo, body soap, and all bath essentials were provided. The dressing room was clean with lockers and a variety of lotions and creams available.
One bonus: there was a lovely little cherry blossom garden near the hotel. Even though I visited in May, some sakura were still in bloom! Place: オクヒダバギー on Google Maps
Communication before check-in was a bit difficult, but once I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by a kind and friendly female staff member who made me feel at home.
As for the breakfast, it was rather simple—but I assume it reflects local tastes and traditions, so it’s understandable.
Overall, a quiet and relaxing stay—perfect if you’re visiting the Okuhida area or heading to Kamikochi.
