Deep in the mountains — driving is strongly advised — Motoyu Magokuro is a secluded onsen retreat where guests call the springs the best they have visited: indoor and outdoor private baths bookable by flipping a sign, and some rooms carry their own. Fresh delicate kaiseki and an awesome library sound system round it out. One guest found dinner merely average, and the remote spot demands planning.
