About this ryokan

♨️A cozy tatami-floored inn with its own blend of three hot springs

Nagano · Shibu Onsen Ichinoyu Katei

An inn on a painter's birthplace

🎨The inn stands on the birthplace of Kodama Katei, a Nanga painter active in the Meiji era, which gave it the name Ichinoyu Katei.
🏮It sits in the heart of Shibu Onsen, right in front of the O-yu bathhouse, ideal for strolling and the public-bath circuit.
⛩️Stone steps beside the inn lead up to Takayakushi, which overlooks the hot spring town.

Free-flowing water blended from three springs

♨️The original blend combines the iron-rich, brown Araigawara spring, the clear Terayu said to have healed Takeda Shingen's wounds, and the Fudo spring.
🏔️The entire 4th floor is a hot spring floor; the men's 'Kengyu' and women's 'Shokujo' baths with open-air tubs look out to the Shiga Kogen mountains and the Five Peaks of Hokushin.
🌌On clear nights the open-air baths offer a sky full of stars.

Free private family bath 'Amatsumikaha'

🔑No reservation needed; borrow the key at the front desk whenever it is free, at no charge.
⏰Available 15:00–21:00 and 7:00–9:30, 40 minutes per use.
👨‍👩‍👧Popular with couples, guests with limited mobility and families with children.

Rooms in ancient Japanese colors with sunken kotatsu

🟥Each of the 11 rooms is named after a traditional color; the 2nd floor is themed in green and the 3rd in vermilion.
🛋️Rooms have a 10-mat main room plus a 2.5-mat sunken kotatsu area, a toilet with bidet and a washbasin.
📺TV, fridge, phone and safe, plus yukata, haori and tanzen jackets, tabi socks, towels and toothbrushes.

Katei-style kaiseki served course by course

🍲Nothing is ready-made: the dashi, sashimi soy sauce, ponzu and sesame sauce are all made in house.
🥢The carefully prepared Katei-style kaiseki is served one dish at a time.
🍂Local seasonal ingredients are used and the menu changes with the seasons; depending on the plan, meals are served in your room, a private room or the dining hall.

Tatami throughout the inn

👣Tatami covers every floor, even inside the elevator, so you can walk barefoot in comfort.
♿There are no steps between the entrance and the guest rooms.
🕕The front desk is open 6:00–22:00, and VISA and Mastercard are accepted (except some cash-discount plans).

Shibu Onsen's nine public baths

🗝️The key provided in your room gives free access to all nine public baths of Shibu Onsen (6:00–22:00).
🧺Collect stamps on a prayer towel at each bath, then visit Takayakushi to complete the circuit for good fortune.
🐒Jigokudani Monkey Park, famous for its bathing wild monkeys, and the Shiga Kogen Roman Museum, which holds works by Kodama Katei, are nearby.

Access

🚃By train, the inn offers pick-up from Yudanaka Station for arrivals between 2 pm and 5 pm, and a drop-off back to the station the next day.
