From JR Tsuyama Station, take a bus bound for Ishikoshi for approximately 60 minutes and get off at "Okutsu Onsen".

Question 3

Online booking through the official website (okutsuso.com) offers the most affordable rates. Telephone reservations (0868-52-0021, 9:00–21:00) are also accepted.

Question 4

Can children and families stay here?

Accepted Answer

Family stays are possible. However, the Kagi-yu and Tatsu-yu baths use exposed bedrock from the riverbed, so the footing is unstable. For small children or guests with mobility concerns, we recommend the private baths "Izumi-no-yu" and "Kawa-no-yu".

Question 5

What is the day-use bathing fee?

Accepted Answer

Adults (junior high school and above) ¥1,000, children (3 years and above) ¥500. Reception hours are 10:45–14:30 (last admission 14:00).

Question 6

How many types of baths are available?

Accepted Answer

There are 4 bathhouses: Kagi-yu, Tatsu-yu, Izumi-no-yu, and Kawa-no-yu. Overnight guests can use them 24 hours. All use the same hot spring water.

Question 7

What is the hot spring water quality like?

Accepted Answer

The water is characterised by a silky, gentle, and soft quality. The natural spring bubbles up directly from the bottom of the bath without heating or circulation, offering premium hot spring bathing.

Question 8

What is "Kagi-yu", the footspring bath?

Accepted Answer

It is a bath that uses the natural granite formations carved by the Yoshii River over many years as the bath floor itself. Hot spring water naturally wells up from the bottom of the tub—a rare type where you can feel the natural rocky riverbed while bathing. However, the bottom is uneven, so guests with mobility difficulties can use the flat-bottomed private baths "Izumi-no-yu" or "Kawa-no-yu".

Question 9

What is the connection to Munakata Shikō?

Accepted Answer

Our inn is known as a place with ties to woodblock print artist Munakata Shikō and is registered as a tangible cultural property. The inn is noted both for its historic atmosphere and cultural significance.
