Uozu Kokusai Country Club

Best thing in this hotel is sky spa - or onsen on 12th floor overlooking town and motorway! Very fascinating and relaxing watch, soaking on hot water after full day walking! Lawson and 7-eleven just outside the hotel, several dining options within 5min walk. Hotel itself is quite dated and feels old, but sky onsen and breakfast makes up for it. Stayed one night in May 2025.

The onsens are amazing and we did enjoy using them a lot during our stay. Especially the outdoor one provided a fantastic time, the peace and quiet of it makes you feel renewed extremely quickly. The food was interesting - and plenty of it! - and it provided a nice insight into a traditional dining experience. The hotel, however, is quite old-school and could definitely use a facelift by now, I think the pictures have been edited to make it look more modern. Having said that, I think the remote location and the calmness it offers really make up for it, sleeping on the floor on a Tatami with an open window, with only sounds of nature coming in, was absolutely fabulous after the overwhelming few days we had at Tokyo and Kyoto. The only odd thing was being charged additional tax at check out even though our reservation receipt clearly stated we’ve already paid it.
