Hotel Kamogawaso
Hotel Kamogawaso is a traditional Japanese inn where you can enjoy Japanese culture, natural hot springs (onsen), and the beauty of the four seasons in its traditional environs.
The Japanese-style garden at the hotel’s rear entrance features Japanese maples (momiji), a crystal-clear stream with koi carp, and moss-covered stone lanterns. The autumn room (koyo-tei) within the garden is a special place to stay, offering privacy and seasonal autumn colors. Guests can enjoy authentic cuisine cooked on a hearth (irori) at Irori Sanso, a cooking and eating area within the grounds.
In recent years, the hotel’s main building has been renovated, including the lobby and souvenir shop. The lobby has a counter bar offering views of the garden and outdoor water feature. The rooms contain Western-style beds, a shower, a bathroom, and a tatami mat (washitsu) room. The natural hot springs feature both outdoor baths with a garden view and an indoor bath featuring a decorative wall shaped like a mountain.
There are many beautiful art pieces throughout the main building. The previous owner of the hotel was an art enthusiast and created an art gallery that visitors could enjoy at their leisure or where they could even stay the night.
There is an event area outside for noh classical Japanese dance-drama and kyogen (comic interludes of noh plays). Events are held throughout the year.
The hot spring resort hotel is about 20 minutes from Takehara Station by car or bus.
