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.

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.

Unique place in a beautiful setting
We stayed at the Iya Onsen for one night in May. We took a taxi from Oboke Station as our arrival time did not align with the daily hotel shuttle which leaves at 4:10pm. The hotel is set in a remote area and the room had a stunning view of the forested mountains. We especially enjoyed taking a hot spring bath in our private wooden tub on our balcony overlooking the mountains, and the keiseki dinner which was both delicious and interesting. The hotel has a small gift shop that sells nice products, many made locally in the Iya area. The cable car down to the river where the public hot spring baths are located was fun, but we were not as impressed with the baths compared to other onsen hotels we stayed at. We scheduled a private yoga class with Aki at Yama Yoga which was absolutely fantastic. She and her husband are both very knowledgeable about the area and meeting them was a highlight of our trip.

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!)
