♨️Ninety years on the riverbank, water straight from the spring

Hokkaido · Sawanoyado Kinsenkaku

An open-air bath that becomes the river

• ♨️Stones laid along the Osaru River form an open-air bath that seems to flow into the water itself
• 🌊A 93°C source poured through at 100% Kakenagashi, with no water added
• 🍶An alkaline simple spring, gentle on the skin and clear enough to drink

Four seasons framed by the bath

• 🍁In autumn the leaves above the bath and the valley below make a remarkable picture
• 🏞️Watch the stream run past from the stone-built open-air bath
• 🌡️The source temperature is adjusted without adding water, keeping the quality constant year-round

Rooms with the air of Taisho and Showa

• 🏮A two-storey wooden building of nearly ninety years, still carrying its Taisho and Showa calm
• 🛏️Just ten rooms in all, for a quiet and unhurried stay
• 🪟Tatami rooms where futon are laid out, with the valley and garden outside the window

4

A modest onsen inn beside the river

• 🏨Set right by the Osaru River, with the sound of water throughout your stay
• 🚭All rooms non-smoking; smoking is only permitted outdoors in designated areas
• 🚻Rooms have no toilet or washbasin; shared facilities with warm-water bidets are on each floor

Simple by design

• 🪜A two-storey wooden building with no elevator, so expect stairs
• 🎋No restaurant, bar, shop or karaoke — the focus is entirely on bathing and rest
• 🌧️When the river runs high the open-air bath may be closed, so check before visiting

Into the nature of Kita-Yuzawa
