Sansuiso Tsuchiyu Spa

If you're looking for a place away from the city that's nice and peaceful, this is where you should go. Comfortable rooms, a nice mountain view, plenty of bath options, and incredible food. Every included meal was well worth it. We had to skip lunch, the dinners were so filling! Staff were very helpful.

The place is magical, like taken from a movie. We fell in love with the onsen experience. Everything was clean and organized. The dinner and the breakfast were wonderful. And don't miss hiking around the town and forest.

The breakfast buffet was amazing. There was so many options we tried so many different things we had never before. The dinner was also a great experience. We had an 8 course meal and the waiter was great at explaining what everything was.

Walking through the special Mon (entrance) the level of luxury was outstanding, spacious living with comfortable beds, private onsen bath (for 2) and balcony with lounge chair. Sumptuous foods artistically done served in private dining room. Wonderful!

The pictures do not do the onsen at this ryokan justice. We arrived later than I had hoped because our car's navigation lead us in the wrong direction, but the staff never made us feel guilty and helped us to check in. Our room was Japanese style with a great view of the garden and the ravine the river flows into. My tween found the futons very comfy. They worked with our dietary restrictions to make a wonderful multi-course Japanese meal, though I admit, I think I still liked the tempura course best. My tween slept through breakfast, but I really liked the fruit smoothie, which was lighter than I expected. The onsen are amazing here. There is the very traditional looking bathes overlooking a waterfall as well as two other floors of onsen, some of which rotate between men and women. Most of the onsen are also quite deep. My only regrets are we arrived late and couldn't explore the town and that I didn't buy the special chopsticks for sale here.
