1

A living spring in Namahage country

• ♨️The inn's own private source flows through the baths as pure Kakenagashi, with no water added and no reheating.
• 🎨Rich in yunohana mineral flakes, the cloudy water shifts between brown, green and white with the season and temperature.
• 🌡️The 53C sodium chloride spring holds heat beautifully, so the warmth stays with you long after you step out.

2

An open-air rock bath facing the Sea of Japan

• 🪨The outdoor rock bath known as the Namahage no Yu opens straight onto the scenery beyond.
• 🕗Overnight guests can bathe around the clock, from 3pm check-in until 8:30 the next morning.
• 🧗Worth noting: about 30 steps lead down to the main bath.

3

Twelve rooms on the highest ground

• 🏔️A small 12-room inn set on the highest point of the Oga hot spring village, with sweeping views.
• 🛏️Choose Namahage-themed wa-modern concept rooms (Matsukaze, Kiho, Momiji) or traditional kominka-style rooms.
• 📶Free Wi-Fi throughout, entirely non-smoking, with some rooms furnished with Simmons semi-double beds.

Ishiyaki, the taste of Oga

• 🔥Red-hot Oga tuff stones are dropped into a wooden tub of seafood broth, cooking the dish in an instant.
• 🐟As you would hope from a seaside inn, the menu leans on fresh fish and shellfish in fisherman's dishes and local traditional preparations.
• 🥔Anpura mochi, made from potato in the local dialect word anpura, is a folk dish you will find nowhere else.

5

Kofuan, the dining room around the hearth

• 🍶Meals are served in Kofuan, a Japanese-style tea room built around a central irori hearth with hilltop views.
• 🦀A la carte additions include Oga-caught boiled red snow crab, kiritanpo hotpot and seasonal sashimi platters.
• 🍚Breakfast brings freshly cooked Akitakomachi rice with local ingredients such as gibasa seaweed, hatahata and junsai.

6

A member of the Hitoyu Society

• 🏮A member inn of the Society to Protect Japan's Secret Hot Springs, keeping the character of Namahage no Yu and the rock bath intact.
• 📸Photographs of Oga's Namahage by photographer Minoru Ogano are displayed throughout the inn.
• 🛗There is no elevator and stairs are involved; a post-bath lounge and vending machines are on the first floor.

A base for the Oga Peninsula

• 🚉About 45 minutes by bus from JR Oga Station, near Oga Onsen and the Oga Aquarium GAO.
• 🌅Rooms look out over the Sea of Japan and Mt. Kanpuzan, with beautiful sunrises on clear mornings.
• 🚌A convenient spot for touring the peninsula's sights via the Namahage shuttle and other services.

A hilltop hideaway where a spring that burst forth in a 1939 earthquake still flows straight into the baths, paired with Oga's famous ishiyaki cooking. Soak in the open-air rock bath overlooking the Sea of Japan and take in the nature and folk culture of the Oga Peninsula.
