HIGHLIGHTS
What makes it special
A nine-room inn built around a cave hot spring flowing for over 300 years
Kabeyu natural cave onsen
This mixed-gender open-air bath sits beneath a riverside rock wall, where 39°C spring water has welled up naturally for more than 300 years. The gentle, lukewarm water is also drinkable.
Hand-carved women's cave bath
A previous owner chiselled out an indoor cave bath reserved for women, so guests who prefer not to use mixed bathing can still enjoy a cave onsen. There are also two private baths.
Irori hearth lounge
A rest area set around a traditional sunken hearth invites you to unwind after bathing. Overnight guests get complimentary shochu in the evening and coffee in the morning.
Home-grown aromatic rice
The inn serves its own aromatic rice, grown in a way passed down since the Meiji era, alongside home-style dishes the proprietress makes from local ingredients.
