フォレスパ木曽 あてら温泉 阿寺荘 Hotel - Okuwa

3-star ryokan with natural hot springs in the Kiso Valley

Rooms

At フォレスパ木曽 あてら温泉 阿寺荘, each tatami-floored room offers mountain views, air-conditioning, and a refrigerator. The Japanese-Style Quadruple Room provides a spacious 10-tatami layout with an extra seating area and a sink. Guests sleep on traditional futons laid out on tatami mats, with daily housekeeping included.

Hot Springs and Relaxation

The on-site hot spring bath is open 24 hours and frequented by local residents, offering an authentic communal bathing experience. An additional public bath with a chlorine-treated onsen is available for guest use exclusively. The shared bathrooms and onsen serve as the only shower facilities on the property.

Dining

The ryokan serves a traditional Japanese breakfast and a kaiseki-style dinner for 3000 yen per person (2000 yen for dinner, 1000 yen for breakfast). Meals are set menus that accommodate dietary allergies when notified in advance. A vending machine and a small shop with limited stock offer snacks, but guests should book dinner in advance due to the remote location.

Location and Activities

The hotel sits a 10-minute walk from the Atera Valley trailhead and a 35-minute walk from the train station, with a free shuttle service for pickup and drop-off. Guests have access to hiking along the Nakasendo trail and can hire e-bikes delivered directly to the hotel for cycling the valley. Tennis is available at an additional charge, and the shared lounge provides a space for socializing.

Guest Experience

Reviews highlight the kind and helpful staff who arrange pickups and luggage forwarding to the next accommodation. The rooms are large and quiet, with some offering views of a Zen garden at the entrance.
