Overview
Just 30 minutes from central Osaka by car or train, Fushio-Kaku gives you a chance to step away from the city’s pace and recharge in a natural setting. This hot spring ryokan sits in the quiet hills of Ikeda, where the scenery shifts with each season—from cherry blossoms in spring to fireflies in early summer, colorful leaves in autumn, and crisp starlit skies in winter. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, a romantic escape, or a relaxing day trip, this ryokan offers a flexible and inviting stay.
The hot spring water at Fushio-Kaku flows from its own natural source. This sodium bicarbonate spring is known for its beauty benefits and health effects, helping you relax and feel refreshed. You can enjoy the open-air baths while taking in views of nature, or spend time in the indoor baths designed for comfort and calm.
Fushio-Kaku also brings local flavors to the table with meals focused on seasonal ingredients and regional specialties. From kaiseki cuisine to wild game and fugu in the winter months, each dish is thoughtfully prepared. You can enjoy your meals in the privacy of your room or at a dining hall that overlooks the surrounding scenery.
You don’t have to stay overnight to enjoy what this ryokan offers. Day-trip plans include access to hot springs, private rooms, and full-course meals. These short escapes are perfect for anyone with a busy schedule who still wants to slow down and enjoy a few hours of rest and good food.
Whether you’re traveling with family, a partner, or your dog—or even planning a work retreat or special celebration—Fushio-Kaku has the space, hospitality, and comfort to fit your plans.
