Yadori Onsen Hot Spring
Yadori Onsen is a small hot spring hotel set halfway between Koyasan and Hashimoto Station. It overlooks a river, and is surrounded by maple trees that are bright green throughout the spring and summer months and glow red and orange in fall. In the summer, families come to play in the clear river waters in front of the property and see the fireflies that thrive nearby.
This rural retreat offers four independent cottages and relaxing hot spring baths. It also features a small restaurant serving dishes made from seasonal local specialties such as wild boar, rare herbs, heritage vegetables, and sake from Wakayama Prefecture.
The hotel’s location makes this a convenient base for exploring the natural and cultural treasures of the Koyasan area. A free pickup service for guests is available from Koyasan and Hashimoto stations.
