An onsen inn at the mouth of Oirase Stream

• 🌲The inn sits in Yakeyama on the lower Oirase Stream, the entrance to Towada-Hachimantai National Park.
• 🪵The whole building is laid with tatami and built of Aomori hiba (cypress) wood.
• 🕯️Corridors to the lobby and baths are filled with the scent of hiba and natural incense, candle and lamp light, and seasonal flowers.

2

100% free-flowing hot spring

• ♨️Water piped from Sarukura Onsen flows straight through the baths, 100% kakenagashi.
• 💧A clear, colorless simple spring rich in sulfur and calcium, gentle and low-irritation on the skin.
• 🌡️Temperature is controlled by flow rather than by adding water, so it varies from day to day.

3

Hiba indoor bath and two open-air baths

• 🪵The indoor bath built of Aomori hiba lets you soak in the warmth of wood with light pouring in from outside.
• 🪨Two open-air baths of different stone designs are walled in so you can bathe even in spring wind or winter snowstorms.
• 🔄Men’s and women’s baths switch at 3 pm and 8 pm, so overnight guests can enjoy both open-air baths.

Main building and annex rooms

• 🛏️22 guest rooms, all non-smoking.
• 🚽Main-building 8-tatami rooms have a washlet toilet and washbasin in the room and sleep up to four; 10- and 16-tatami rooms are bookable by phone only.
• 👤Annex rooms of 4.5 or 6 tatami are adults-only for one or two guests, with shared bath, toilet and washbasin; children cannot stay in them.

Seasonal Aomori dinner
