Ichinomata Onsen Vacations from $1,077

By far one of the best places we have stayed at in Japan, out of the 5 other places we have been to.

Property by the ocean

The property was located in the heart of the town. There were lots of grocery and dining options within walking distance. The beach was a short drive away too. We were able to drive to many scenic places like Akiyoshido Cave and the quasi national park from there. The house was spacious and very clean. The neighborhood was quiet other than during the elementary school’s break time when little children could be heard playing. The house was also well stocked, though I wish there could’ve been soup/ rice bowls, a kitchen scissors and a rice cooker. I was also slightly confused by the check in procedure but thankfully the Rakuten team responded soon enough to help us with it. Overall, it was a very pleasant 1 week stay and we enjoyed the place very much.

A beautiful hotel with traditional Japanese style rooms and access to a hot spring. The rooms were spotless and the bed really comfortable. We stayed for several nights and explored the beautiful surrounds of Yamaguchi. I recommend hiring a car to get the most out of the area.
