This hotel is such a great way to experience Japanese culture while being pampered. The hotel workers are very nice and assistance in English is available. If you pay an extra 500yen or so the hotel offers an assortment of colorful yukatas for females, which is quite fun. The onsens are open very late so you can literally go and relax in an onsen at 1pm or later, if you'd like. The rooms are very spacious. If you stay here I would advise you to eat in. They bring your dinner to your room, course by course. The food is authentic, traditional Japanese food. If you walk down to the river that is in front of the hotel you can dip your feet in footbaths fed by the natural hot spring that feeds the onsens of the area. It is said that the hot spring that feeds the Tamatsukuri area is the "Hot Spring of the Gods" and bathing once in it's waters will make you more beautiful; bathing twice will cure all your sickness and diseases (Izumo guide pamphlet).

“The oldest recorded Onsen town in Japan”

Tamatsukuri onsen is one of the oldest onsen (spa) in Japan. It lays off the beaten path but well worth the travel. Choseikaku onsen is a beautiful hotel with excellent service.

Tamatsukuri onsen is one of the oldest onsen (spa) in Japan. It lays off the beaten path but well worth the travel. Choseikaku onsen is a beautiful hotel with excellent service. The Onsen has a garden which is a replica of the famous garden at the Adachi Museum. The rooms are lined with Tatami mats giving it that traditional Japanese feel. Enjoy the town and explore the little souvenir shops. Walk along the river and dip your toes into the different foot onsens. When you get back to your room, you'll be surprised to see dinner set out. Dinner is served in the room and is a ceremony in itself. Our meal had 7 courses of delicious traditional Japanese food and regional specialties. After dinner take a bath in the onsen, unwind and relax in the different baths. When you get back, you'll find your bed set out and ready for you. If you really enjoyed the bath and would like to go more than once, they stay open all day and night, except from 2-3AM when they change the baths. They want everyone to experience both the 1st floor and 2nd floor baths so they change the men's and women's bath areas in the night. The choseikaku staff were very attentive to our every need. They had english speakers who patiently explained everything from amenities to food. They did their best to make us comfortable.

“Treated very well”

We came here as one of our stops on a honeymoon and arrived late (9 pm) due to taking too many stops on the train and getting sidetracked.

We came here as one of our stops on a honeymoon and arrived late (9 pm) due to taking too many stops on the train and getting sidetracked. We were surprised, especially since this is off the beaten path for Americans that 1) the manager (we think he was a manager) spoke English well and 2) he had arranged a private dinner served by a beautiful host "Mami", dressed in traditional japanese kimono, served our dinner with elegant hospitality. They waited for us to arrive and we instantly felt bad realizing they had prepared our meal with the intention of an earlier arrival. Mami was very sweet and our late meal was excellent. The grounds are large and nice, and had we arrived earlier, we would've visited the onsen which is supposed to be the attraction. However, we opted for massages in the room and went to bed. In the morning, we watched the staff (including Mami) practice for a traditional drum ceremony. This was one of our memorable experiences in Japan, and we thank the staff for their hospitality.
