나메가와온센 후쿠시마야

♨️Cut off from the power grid, the silence of a hidden hot spring, 530 years deep in the mountains

Yamagata · Namegawa Onsen Fukushimaya

1

Three Private Springs, Milky Kakenagashi

• ♨️Cloudy, milky-white water flows endlessly into the baths from three private springs
• 💧A 100% source-fed kakenagashi onsen, with no added water, heating, or recirculation filtering
• 🌡️Because it's untouched by machinery, temperature is hard to control — staff work to keep the baths near 42°C

2

A Rock Open-Air Bath Overlooking the Maekawa River

• 🪨A wild rock open-air bath overlooking the Maekawa River is the inn's pride
• 👩A mixed-gender open-air bath, with dedicated hours reserved for women
• 🏞️A sense of openness fit for a hidden hot spring, at one with nature

3

4

A High-Ceilinged Stone Indoor Bath

• 🛁The high-ceilinged mixed-gender stone indoor bath, which keeps steam from building up, is the top pick among toji (long-stay onsen cure) guests
• ♀️The women's indoor bath is a stone bath with a distinctive semicircular tub
• 🕰️Bathing hours rotate between men's, women's, and mixed use on a weekly schedule

5

Home-Cooked Meals from the Mountains

A Nostalgic Japanese Breakfast from the Mountains

• 🏡A carefully prepared breakfast that recalls mornings from an older Japan

7

Rooms with the Air of the Edo Period

• 🏯Cozy rooms in the guest wing, some with a private toilet
• 🛏️25 rooms in total, for up to 60 guests, with a choice of river-side or mountain-side rooms
• 🪔Powered by hydroelectric self-generation, so rooms have no refrigerator, and the self-catering wing remains an original Edo-period building

8

A Hidden Hot Spring at 850m, With No Neighbors

• 🚃Free shuttle from JR Ou Main Line's Toge Station (8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., advance notice required)
• 🚗About 9km along a mountain road from National Route 13, heading toward Itaya
• ❄️Closed for winter from early November through late April due to heavy snowfall

Reached by neither power lines, phone cables, nor the morning paper, Ikkenjuku sits alone at 850m in the mountains. Three private springs feed milky-white kakenagashi baths, untouched by added water or heat, while the Maekawa River's seasons turn inconvenience itself into charm.
