♨️A century of Taisho romance, built entirely in hinoki

Gunma · Ikaho Onsen Yokotekan

1

The Golden Bath of the Man'yo Age

• ♨️Ikaho's celebrated Kogane no Yu, served Kakenagashi straight from the source
• 🌕Gekko no Yu and Orizuru no Yu alternate between men and women, so you can try both
• 💧No water is added, only gentle warming, and the baths are drained and refilled daily

2

Private Family Baths

• 🛁Three private family baths (Ichi, Ni and San) are free for guests to reserve in advance
• 🌿Two paid private baths, Sawarabi and Matsukaze, are also available
• 🔑Collect the key at the front desk and the bath is yours alone

3

The West Wing and Its Taisho Romance

• 🏯Built in 1920 entirely of hinoki, the west wing's 14 rooms are each designed differently
• 🚪These rooms are preserved as they were, so toilets and washbasins are shared in the corridor, though air conditioning is fitted
• 📐Rooms run 8 to 14 tatami plus an anteroom and tokonoma, a century of cypress warmth in the grain

4

Comfort in the East Wing and Annex

• 🛋️The east wing keeps its Taisho bones but was renovated in 2010, with seven Japanese-Western rooms and one Western room, all with private facilities
• 🏢The Tokiwaen annex, rebuilt in reinforced concrete in 1994, has full plumbing and climate control
• 👶Families with small children may prefer the annex's Japanese rooms or Western twins to the wooden main house

5

Mountain Kaiseki from Gunma

• 🍲Certified as a Gunma local-produce inn, serving mountain kaiseki built on regional ingredients
• 🍶The limited Joshu Tokusen Kaiseki is served course by course in the ground-floor dining room
• 🥢Standard plans are served in your room or a private dining room, a landlocked prefecture's take on kaiseki

6

Calligraphy, Painting, History

• 📜Founded as a hatago in the Genroku era, around 1710 to 1720
• 🖋️Tokutomi Soho's handwritten sign and other Meiji-to-Showa works hang throughout the house
• 🌲A four-story all-hinoki main building, a rarity today, holds the warmth of its timber

7

Beside the Ishidangai Steps

• 🚉About 25 minutes by Kan-etsu Kotsu bus from JR Shibukawa Station, then three minutes on foot from the Ikaho Onsen stop
• 🚌By highway bus from Tokyo or Shinjuku, the Joshu Yumeguri-go stops closest at Ikaho Ishidangai
• 🅿️There is no parking at the inn itself; use the dedicated lot and the shuttle will bring you over

The Golden Bath has flowed here since the age of the Man'yoshu, and the all-hinoki main house still carries its Taisho-era romance. At Yokotekan, founded in the Genroku years, mountain kaiseki from Gunma and private baths fill the hours in an inn that has never stopped being itself.
