Private Onsen Ryokan Evening with Kaiseki Dinner
Overview
A private open-air hot-spring bath reserved for your party and a nine-course kaiseki dinner in a ryokan, without staying the night.
Clients who cannot fit a ryokan night into the itinerary can still have the evening. This books a kashikiri — a private open-air bath, yours alone for fifty minutes — followed by a nine-course kaiseki dinner in a private tatami room.
Because the bath is private, it solves the two problems that stop people using onsen: tattoos, which are no obstacle here, and the reluctance to bathe communally. Yukata, towels and amenities are provided; the ryokan holds luggage during the visit.

- Tattoos welcome — no communal bathing
- Nine-course kaiseki dinner in a private room
