Fushioukaku

Located just a 30-minute drive from Osaka City, Fushioukaku is a hot spring inn where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city while kicking back in a fully natural setting. The inn sits just an easy 30 minutes by car from Osaka International Airport (Itami), making it an ideal stop along your next domestic travels.

The inn features a natural radium hot spring with excellent heat retention and immune-boosting properties. Surrounded by the beauty of all four seasons—cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, and vibrant autumn leaves—you can enjoy the hot spring in spacious open-air baths or the large communal bath. Despite its traditional charm, the inn has seen a number of revamps of time to ensure the utmost in modern cleanliness and comfort. Choose from a variety of room types, including 20 rooms with private open-air baths, peaceful Japanese-style rooms, Western-style rooms for those who prefer beds, and pet-friendly rooms where small dogs are welcome.

For dinner, guests can indulge in monthly kaiseki (traditional multi-course) meals that showcase local and seasonal ingredients from both land and sea. In winter, the menu features healthy, high-protein boar hot pot (botan nabe), shabu-shabu, and a full course of fugu (blowfish), a beloved winter delicacy in Osaka. Breakfast is served buffet-style, offering a wide range of Japanese and Western dishes, including onigiri (rice balls) made on the spot and instant ramen—a specialty from Osaka's birthplace of the dish. Other amenities include a summer-only pool popular with children, a barbecue garden, and more, enhancing the resort atmosphere.
