A small inn with over a century of history

• 🏮Founded in the Taisho era and now in its 103rd year, this is a small inn with just six guest rooms.
• 🌊It sits beside the Oda River in Taki-cho, at the western edge of Izumo, 400 m from the Sea of Japan.
• 🪵The all-wooden sukiya-style building was rebuilt in 1988; slippers are not used inside, and the floors are wiped by hand every day.

Its own metasilicic acid spring

• ♨️The inn has its own source, located in the bed of the Oda River right beside the building.
• ✨Its concentration of metasilicic acid, said to be good for the skin, is among the highest in western Japan, and the water glints blue in the light.
• 🎨Both baths, the white-and-indigo porcelain Hiten-no-Yu and the rare celadon-tiled Ryusen-no-Yu, are lined with tiles handmade by the third-generation owner, artist Ko Ishitobi.

Toyotama-no-Yu private bath

• 🛁Opened in January 2021 to mark the inn's centenary, this private bath costs 2,500 yen (tax incl.) for 50 minutes.
• 🌸Named after a mythical goddess of beauty, it is designed around the theme of awakening the five senses.
• ♿It is barrier-free, suitable for small children and older guests, and you can enjoy a footbath from the changing room.

Oda Onsen specialties

• 🐟Ayu-meshi, grilled sweetfish brushed with miso over rice and finished with broth, is an original dish found only here.
