Sunriver Oboke

For our three nights here, we stayed in a spacious traditional Japanese room. We had a great view of the valley. We had half-board, so breakfast and dinner were included. Dinner was very good and prepared knowing we were vegans. Breakfast was a buffet, and not many vegan choices. Staff was friendly and helpful. English is limited, but it wasn’t a problem using our Google Translate to communicate. Highly recommended.

It’s a generally nice hotel with nice food and service. The interia is slightly old but it’s still comfortable. We had a room with private onsen but still tried the public ones anyway. It water is very nice and moisturizing and it’s the same both in the public onsen and private one. The private one allows to start a day fresh in hot water so it’s still worth it despite being slightly pricy. The room is quite big as in Japan standard. Food is also nice. It’s a happy experience in general.

I visited the onsen as a day guest only, and it was the only onsen locally that stayed open to non-hotel guests in the evening. We visited at around 6:30 and the onsen was clean and quiet. It was 700yen to enter. I was also extremely grateful to be allowed in with a tattoo - my understanding is that tattoos are allowed as long as they do not cover the arms and back. The hotel itself was clean, spacious and accessible and the dinner smelled amazing!

We were extremely pleased with our stay as the manager Kadota San is very friendly , very kind and very helpful. He is very patient and attended to our multiple queries and has high EQ. A high standard hospitality manager indeed and always put in extra efforts going beyond his duties. He even recommended a delicious lunch place that’s also reasonably priced and beautiful for pix taking For all his kind assistance , we are very grateful to say the least. The place is very clean and was above expectation. Great view from my room. Good facilities , onsen and yummy breakfast and sumptuous dinner. Will stay here again if we visit iya valley again. Thank you for everything Kadota San!

Excellent accommodations, ez access from the main road and a great indoor outdoor hot spring bath included with the room fee. And to top it off all the staff had blue pineapple Aloha shirts… was jus like u stay Hawaii…

great room: overlooking a great view of the river, mountain, sky, stars in the private onsen great meals: dinner and meals are tasty with vast dishes

I spent 2 nights here to enjoy the scenic area and relax in an onsen. ||||The moment you walk in you realise this place is rather dated. The interior feels like an old hospital and very white and clinical. ||||Rooms are clean and decent. Beds are comfortable and cosy. ||||The onsen is decent although the cold plunge pool is tiny! they have a good sauna and outdoor hot pool too. ||||That said the evening set dinner was amazing and very filling. Highly recommend this option. ||||If you like hikes, I can recommend a walk up hill to a nice shrine. Takes about 1 hour and the views of the surrounding valley are sensational. A must do if you’re staying here. ||||Also take the bikes for a cruise along the road to the bridge and soak in the views.

Amazing experience! Stayed here for a night (solo) and was very pleased with the room, onsen and breakfast. They also offer free shuttle service to Oboke Station. I’d prefer here in Koboke over staying in Oboke!
