♨️The Remote Hot Spring of Okashi, Beloved by the Lord of Shirakawa

Fukushima · Motoyu Kashi Onsen Ryokan Daikokuya

1

The Only Inn Deep in the Okashi Mountains

• 🏔️The sole remote inn at Okashi Onsen, upstream on the Abukuma River within Nikko National Park
• 📜Said to have been treasured by Matsudaira Sadanobu, lord of the Shirakawa domain
• 🍃Spring greenery, summer streams, autumn foliage, and deep winter snow fill the windows through the year

2

A 150-Year-Old Mixed-Bathing Bedrock Bath

• 🪨The vast bath 'Oiwaburo' measures 5m by 15m, up to 1.2m deep
• 💧Water flows naturally from a torii-shaped spout at 44–45°C, while the bedrock floor itself seeps water at 31–34°C
• 👶Legend holds that stroking the 'Kodakara-ishi' (child-blessing stone) in the bath brings the blessing of children

3

Pure Flow-Through from Two Separate Sources

• ♨️Oiwaburo and Sakuranoyu draw from a simple hot spring — mildly alkaline, hypotonic, and high-temperature
• 🌿Ebisunoyu, by contrast, comes from a separate calcium-sodium sulfate spring
• 🚿Neither source is diluted or reheated — both flow through completely unaltered

4

Sakuranoyu and the Open-Air Bath

• 🌸Sakuranoyu, the women's bath with a faint cypress scent, draws the same water as Oiwaburo
• 🌲The Ebisunoyu open-air bath lets guests take in Okashi's untouched nature
• 🛁Oiwaburo reserves women-only hours from 5–7 am and 7–9 pm

5

Main and Annex Rooms

• 🏠The 13 rooms in the main building are warm, traditional Japanese-style rooms steeped in old-world charm
• 🏯The annex is Shokatei, a wooden building that once served as Matsudaira Sadanobu's Edo-period villa
• 🌄Shokatei offers the finest views, with the Abukuma valley and Mt. Kashi filling every window

6

Seasonal Fare from the Deep Mountains

• 🐟Dishes are carefully prepared from seasonal mountain and stream ingredients, including fried ayu from the river
• 🥩Special dishes include Aizu horse-meat sashimi (fillet) and steamed wagyu
• 🍶Carefully selected Tohoku ingredients are prepared without shortcuts, true to a mountain retreat

7

Getting to Okashi

• 🚄About 40 minutes by bus or taxi from Shin-Shirakawa Station on the JR Shinkansen and Tohoku Main Line
• 🚐A free shuttle bus for overnight guests runs from Shin-Shirakawa Station by reservation
• 🚗About 40 minutes via Route 289 from Shirakawa IC on the Tohoku Expressway

Deep in the mountains of Okashi, at the only inn for miles, surrender to two separate hot springs, both flowing pure and unaltered. History once loved by the lord of Shirakawa and the four seasons of the Abukuma mountain stream make this a hot-spring trip you won't soon forget.
