This was our favorite part of a 2 week Japan trip. While the onsen’s were great, and amenities were fantastic, my favorite was the location and wilderness. Very remote, with lots and long “2 way road but 1car space” roads before you make it to the hotel which has parking for about 10 guest cars. 10/10!

Christmas at Iya Onsen
Hotel Iya Onsen was the magical getaway we were hoping it would be, and more. We were there for two days over Christmas and would have loved to stay longer. The onsen is peaceful and offer great views over the river and the meals were wonderful. We very stupidly managed to leave our passports behind and the hotel staff quickly arranged a courier to our next hotel in Osaka. They were so helpful and nice and we can't thank them enough.

It is located in the middle of the valley Iya. It has its own cable car for going down the valley for open air onsen. Really enjoyable experience and stay.

Great staff n location surrounded by mountains but just a little too far from station. The shuttle service is rather limited and if to grab a taxi it will cost you about 4000 yen. Nonetheless I love the setting of this ryokan and the novelty of taking the cable car to the outdoor bath. Wish that this outdoor bath water can be warmer tho..Enjoyed too the music CDs provided in the room they keep you relax. Overall experience is great.

Good view and location, spacious room
Good view and location. The room is spacious with private onsen and massage chair. They invite us to join free night trip to Iya bridge. It is beautiful. The public onsen is good but the outside onsen (by cable car) is not recommended.

Very good but not the best
The location is good. Hot springs are nice. Good food and staff. However it is not the best onsen i have stayed. The main issue is missing a nice place for people to take rest after the bath. Thats very important for a perfect onsen.

Best experience of our 8 day trip to Shikoku
We took a back and windy road to the hotel. The location is very scenic and the cable car to the open air hot springs makes it very unique. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic and beautifully presented. Our room had a balcony which allowed us a spectacular view of the night sky and access to birdsong in the early morning. In the morning, we saw monkeys and birds as we waited for the first cable car. The hotel is pricey but the experience provided is special and I rate this highly for those looking for something unique.

Nice hotel but difficult to get there
The hotel is situated at the top of the hill so you better drive to get there. The road is one way route so be prepared to reverse to allow the other car to pass through! The hotel room is large and clean (I chose the room with open bath and mountain view). The onsen facility is located down the hill so you need to take a cable car down to get there (the whole journey is few mins only) - it's an interesting experience but there is no bath facility at the onsen so make sure you take a shower in your room or the bath facilities at the first floor before you go. The onsen temp is not hot so can still so it in summer. The dinner and breakfast are a bit disappointed - the food was tasty but was expected to have at least sashimi and sushi, and wagyu beef for dinner with the price paid but not included. The check out time is 11am - I requested for late check out at noon time because of illness but was surprised they only allowed for extra 10 mins (so I need to check out at 11:10am!)
