"I had never experienced an Onsen before and I didn't expect to find the ordeal particularly comfortable because im not used to being naked around strangers but it wasn't awkward at all and was in fact a relaxing, therapeutic and overall wonderful experience!"

“Iruka Onsen Hotel Seiryuusou impressed me with its commitment to simple comforts done well. Its location near the Kumano Kodo Iseji Route makes it a practical choice, and the onsen, especially at sunset, offers a uniquely serene experience. The language barrier could be a challenge, but the staff's warmth, coupled with good food, might just make it a worthwhile stay for those seeking an authentic, unfussy Japanese inn.”
