Activities

Hirayu Onsen boasts an abundant flow of hot spring water, a gift from Mount Yakedake. Soak in the foot bath to experience its unique qualities, and finish with an egg boiled in the hot spring source. Enjoy a moment that engages all five senses to connect with the hot springs and the blessings of the land.

■ What is "ABCs of Onsen Culture"?
At KAI, a leading brand of hot spring ryocans across Japan, we offer "Onsen Culture Iroha"—a special program designed to help guests go beyond simply soaking in the water and truly immerse themselves in the unique regional hot spring cultures.

Why not enjoy solo travel at your own pace, with freedom to explore?

A courtyard featuring a footbath allows guests to warm their feet as they gaze at nearby mountains and listen to the burbling of hot spring water, fully immersing their senses in the area's natural offerings.

For those wanting to fully enjoy their ryokan stay with a relaxed schedule, we propose ways to spend luxurious, unconstrained time, which is only possible with an extended stay.

We offer highly therapeutic massages by nationally certified staff. After bathing, blood circulation is improved and the body can relax more easily. A massage before dinner also helps with digestion.

This workshop allows you to create your own one-of-a-kind blend oil using essential oils extracted from Hida wood. Discover your favorite scent and take it home as a memento of your journey.

Under the supervision of a balneotherapy specialist, KAI presents "Cool-down Soaking"—a unique way to beat the summer heat. Enjoy a revitalizing hot spring experience complemented by specially designed cooling spaces and refreshing beverages.
