Overview
Fudouguchikan Onsen Ryokan sits just 30 minutes by train from Kansai International Airport and about 90 minutes from central Osaka. This peaceful retreat offers you open-air hot spring baths surrounded by mountain streams, traditional Japanese dining with seasonal flavors, and the timeless experience of a classic onsen ryokan.

Accommodation
Choose from three types of rooms, each offering a different way to enjoy your stay.
Japanese-style room with open-air hot spring bath: Soak in your private bath while gazing at cherry blossoms in spring or colorful leaves in fall. Inside, tatami mats and futon beds give you a full taste of traditional living.
Twin room with open-air hot spring bath: Enjoy a private outdoor bath in a more contemporary setting. This room suits those who prefer twin beds while still experiencing the natural ambiance of open-air bathing.
Japanese-style room: Overlooking mountain streams, this room immerses you in the culture of tatami flooring and futon sleeping. Fall asleep to the gentle sound of flowing water and wake up to a calm morning view.
All rooms come with free Wi-Fi and yukata robes you can wear inside the ryokan.
Dining
Your stay includes dinner and breakfast, both crafted with seasonal ingredients. Meals are served in your room or a private banquet room, allowing you to relax in a quiet, personal space while enjoying dishes that highlight the local bounty.
Dinner features kaiseki-style meals prepared with seafood, mountain vegetables, wagyu beef, and game meats. Choose how you’d like your beef prepared—shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, or grilled—and savor the rich flavors of the region. Vegetarian options are also available and carefully designed to match the depth and elegance of traditional Japanese cuisine.
Local specialties from Izumisano, like fresh Senshu vegetables, Inunaki pork, Ogimai rice, and regional sake, bring added richness to each meal.
Onsen and Wellness
The hot springs at Fudouguchikan flow from deep within the natural surroundings of Mt. Inunaki. Known as the “hot spring of beauty,” the water is gentle on the skin and draws visitors for its soothing and therapeutic qualities.
Open-air bath: Relax outdoors with views of the mountain stream. The sounds of nature and the gentle steam from the mineral water invite you to let go of stress and fatigue.
Large public bath: Enjoy a more spacious soak while taking in the seasonal scenery through wide windows. The mineral-rich water helps ease tension, relieve joint and muscle discomfort, and refresh your skin.
Private bath: Ideal for couples or families who want a more personal experience. This bath is available by reservation and provides complete privacy while you enjoy the onsen.
Guests with Tattoos
If you have tattoos, you can enjoy the hot springs by booking the private bath. This option offers full privacy and allows you to relax without concern.
