Okuhita Onsen Umehibiki

A hot spring hotel with a very good experience! I booked a night and two meals on Ctrip. We chartered a car to go all the way to the hotel. It was said that we would check in at 3 o'clock. We arrived at around 2:30 and checked in smoothly. The staff explained each item in detail. There is an open-air private bath on the first floor, so we didn't go to the public place. I heard from friends that it was very good to go there in the morning and evening. It was great to see the mountain view in the distance. There were regrets and surprises: it was a pity that the plum blossoms in Meilin Park had not yet bloomed, and the surprise was the silver-clad snow brought by the heavy snow! It snowed heavily at night, and the dark night was full of large snowflakes ❄️ falling silently and straight down. Occasionally, they would be brought to the face by the whistling wind. Watching the flying snow and soaking in the hot spring, it felt simply... Dinner Kaiseki took more than 2 hours 😅 very rich but slow The snow outside the breakfast room was beautiful, and the food tasted even better! We checked out at 10:00 and were taken to the station by the hotel car.

I will come to this hotel again: Located halfway up a mountain near Hita City, more than 6,000 plum trees will bloom when winter turns to spring. The hotel is small, with a view at every step. The long corridor, red wooden bridge, and elegant lobby all allow sunlight to be projected as much as possible, and blend with the warm yellow lights in the house, making people feel warm and comfortable, reflecting the intentions of the hotel builders everywhere. The entire hot spring hotel uses plum blossoms as design elements. Qizhe, Orihime, Nangao, Yingjuku, and Ryukyō are five varieties of plums in Japan, which have become the names of beautiful different room types. The hotel's room keys, tables and chairs, window shapes, and room decorations are all inspired by plum blossoms. Nangao and Yingjuku rooms both have their own private hot springs. When taking a hot spring bath, the valley in front of you is sometimes misty, sometimes colorful, and sometimes starry. The various beauties of the Hibiki Valley are unforgettable. The breakfast and dinner included in the hotel are all exquisite Kaiseki cuisine, incorporating local plum characteristics. You can try plum wine of various flavors and ages during meals. If you are not satisfied with the drink, you can buy a few bottles of plum wine from the nearby store and take them home as souvenirs. There is also a non-alcoholic plum juice that is also very delicious. The hotel staff are serious, friendly and helpful, and the pick-up service is very thoughtful.

The location is remote and suitable for self-driving guests. The hotel is divided into old and new seats. General rooms are in the old wing, and high-end and VIP rooms are in the new wing. The environment is very high-end and integrated with nature. The Nangao room you stay in is spacious, with a ground terrace and a private bath, facing the beautiful scenery of the mountains. You can breathe in the natural aura while relaxing! What more could you ask for! Every corner in the room is a check-in point. The modern kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast are also rich, and there is still room for improvement! The overall stay was better than expected!

The location is a bit far from Hita City, but there is no problem in driving by yourself. The hotel has a first-class view and is baby-friendly. Only the decoration is a bit old, but the overall experience is good. The two meals a day are great! !

The view from the bath was amazing. The food was also very delicious. The room was clean and very comfortable.
