Experience 7~8 times the minus ion of the water fall!
When *Ono-no Komachi came down with sickness during her journey to look for her father, she had a revelation from Yakushi Nyorai (healing Buddha) in her dream and found a spot where hot water gushing out of the ground. She soaked in this mineral-rich hot spring to recover and set out on her journey to find her father again. This is said to be the origin of Onogawa Onsen. True or not, does not seem to mean much to town folks. Whatever the reason, it is indisputable that the town is called Ono Gawa (which means Ono river), and its name is originated from Ono-no Komachi. But what fascinates visitors more than anything, is this whole town is creating some sort of mysterious aura enough to make us believe such a fairytale.
Ogiya is definitely one of these historical buildings helping create such aura. Reconstructed more than 110 years ago due to fire destruction, Ogiya has been loved by many people including Prince Takamatsu, lords of the Uesugi clan, and famous authors such as Fujisawa Shuhei over centuries. As you step into the entrance, your mind shall be captured by Ogiya’s heart-warming hospitality and the nostalgic atmosphere of its old wooden architecture that has been passed down for over a century. Ogiya offers the world-famous Yonezawa beef and tasty carp cuisine.
Minus ion & antioxidative effect of Onogawa onsen
According to the research facility, the hot spring of Onogawa contains 1.4 ~ 1.6 million minus ions per 1cc. Even a waterfall where one feels to be healed creates only 0.2 ~ 0.3 million. You could easily imagine how astounding this value is. Meanwhile, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) that greatly contributes to preserving one’s health also appoints a very high value which is 290mv.
*Ono-no Komachi (825 – 900?) was a Japanese waka poet counted as one of the Rokkasen, the six best poets of the early Heian period. She was renowned for her extraordinary beauty, and today, Komachi has become a synonym for feminine beauty in Japan.

In Case You Couldn't Find Your Accommodation on Booking.com.
You could try booking yourself, or inquire us from Find Me a Ryokan.
Staying at a Traditional Japanese Ryokan would be an unforgettable experience for the rest of your life. But, unlike other modern hotels, you might find it difficult booking it yourself due to their unique reservation method and language barrier. Even if they have an English page, its information volume is usually too minimum and imperfect to understand. Accordingly, your reservation needs to be handled properly by people knowledgeable to their system like us. Japanesque.xyz promises to handle your bookings adequately as a medium to connect you and ryokans. Even in case that there is no availability at the Ryokan you selected, we will propose some alternatives of the same grade in stead.
Language Assistance Service
Sooner or later, the first trouble you will face in Japan would be the language barrier.
Most people in Japan are not fluent in English, and if they do speak it is mostly with a cursory understanding, kind of like an American high school graduate's knowledge of Spanish.
Older people mostly have much poorer English skills than young people. Outside of the busiest areas of Tokyo and Kyoto, you will find that most people will not be as responsive to "Hello" and "Excuse me", and may shy away if they think that you know no Japanese at all.
Generally, Japan is a very friendly place for travelers, and everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand. However, It does not mean that you are released from the language problems you will face in various situations while you stay in Japan.
For instance;
1. Restaurants never have English menus and waitresses do not speak English,
2. Ticket vending machines at restaurants have no English explanation,
3. Can't easily find the way to your destination when you get lost,
4. Can't correctly tell clerks what item you are looking for
5. Can't exactly tell people your symptoms when you suddenly get ill, etc, etc..
Accommodation Japanesque's LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE SERVICE would be your best solution for building smoother yet instant mutual understanding with non-English-speaking people at any situations. All you have to do is just call and tell us what you want to tell the person you are trying to communicate with. We will translate your words for you and solve your language barrier problem at once.
A single bad experience is capable of ruining your whole journey. We promise to make your journey comfortable, smooth, and trouble-free through our expertise communication skills.
