Description
Kitayama Onsen Lodging
Okutoro Onsen Yama-no-Yado is a hot spring cottage facility in the upper reaches of the Dorokyo gorge on the Kitayama River. Kitayama is a small village surrounded by forested mountains beside a lake created by a dam. Guestrooms are large mixed style with both western style beds and tatami rooms. Meals contain locally produced ingredients including Jabara, a citron only found in Kitayama. The hot spring baths are expansive with excellent views, their modern lines are based on the image of a log raft. Forestry is a major industry in the region and historically logs were lashed together and floated down the river as rafts. This has now turned into a major tourist activity and symbol of the village. Rafting and canyoning are also extremely popular outdoor sports based in Kitayama.

Type A Type B Type C Type D Type E Vegetarianism is not common in the Japanese countryside. Please double-check the Vegetarian Type which the service provider can accommodate to make sure that it meets your needs. Often being able to eat trace amounts of the ubiquitous Katsuo Dashi (fish stock) makes it easier to find options.
