UPDATE: Just spoke with the Okami. She says that the plumbing work and renovations are still a work-in-progress, but is hopeful to accept guests by around February 2026. They intend to eventually host 5 group of guests per day (up from the 2 groups when we were there), meaning they are definitely revamping (and maybe expanding?) some of the other rooms for this purpose.

She said they are unlikely to have all 5 rooms operational from the outset. Their plan moving forward is to close on Mondays through Wednesdays for repair/refurb work, and open up for guests from Thursdays through Sundays, at least for the near term. The guest experience won't be impacted during this time, according to the Okami.

Finally - if you have specific dates in mind, she said she could hold rooms on those desired dates right now if you contact her. If you need my help, let me know.
