"We had a very good night Sansuikan Kawayu Matsuya. They share hot springs and the restaurant with a nearby hotel. Hot springs are the absolute standout: fantastic! Food is good and plentiful. Our room had a brilliant view. All the rest is okay, although the exterior of the building is not nice."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kawayu Hot Springs?
The best area to stay in Kawayu Hot Springs is directly along the Oto River, particularly in the vicinity of the public bathhouse and the river's unique hot spring source.

This area is the heart of Kawayu Onsen, offering direct access to the main attraction: digging your own personal onsen pool right in the riverbed. The few ryokans and guesthouses here are typically traditional Japanese inns, many offering river views and their own private hot springs. It's a compact area, easily explored on foot, and the sound of the river provides a peaceful backdrop.

Couples seeking a romantic and unique hot spring experience will find this area ideal. You can enjoy a private soak in the river, followed by a traditional meal at your ryokan. It's superb for a relaxing escape focused on the natural hot springs and the surrounding scenery.

Solo travellers looking for a tranquil retreat will also appreciate this location. The simple convenience of stepping out of your accommodation and directly into the hot spring river environment makes for a wonderfully unwinding stay.
When is the best time to go to Kawayu Hot Springs?
The best time to go to Kawayu Hot Springs is during the cooler months, from late autumn to early spring (November to March), especially if you're keen to experience the unique river-bed bathing.

During these months, the air temperature is cool enough to make sitting in the naturally heated river water a truly enjoyable experience. The crisp air contrasts beautifully with the warm spring water, making it ideal for those who appreciate the full onsen experience. It's also generally less crowded than the peak summer season.

Couples looking for a romantic escape will find the winter months particularly appealing. Imagine soaking in your own hand-dug bath by the river, perhaps even under a light snowfall, creating a truly memorable and intimate setting. The quiet surroundings add to the serene atmosphere.

Families travelling with older children might also enjoy late autumn or early spring.
