Fujiya Ryokan

Perched on the banks of the Oto River in Kawayu Onsen, this traditional ryokan is a welcome stop on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail. Named for its unique thermal properties – ‘kawayu’ meaning ‘river hot water’ – the area is famous for the hot spring beneath the river, where in winter the crystal clear waters become a huge open-air bath for up to 1,000 people, called ‘sennin-buro’. The property also has private onsens for guests use. Explore the nearby delights of the Kumano Kodo, including a trip to one of the oldest hot springs in Japan, Yunomine Onsen, or visit Kumano Hongu Taisha, an important shrine which is home to the largest torii gate in the world.

In the evening, return to the ryokan for an authentic kaiseki dinner (multi course meal). This property offers river views from each of its 31 rooms, which are either western-style with simple and modern furnishings or Japanese-style featuring tatami mats and traditional bamboo décor.
