A Cultural Property Unchanged Since 1932

• 🏯Completed in 1932, the three-story wooden building still stands in its original Japanese architecture.
• 📜In 1997 five parts — the main building, the annex, the west annex, the grand hall and the Taikobashi bridge — became National Registered Tangible Cultural Properties, making almost the whole inn a cultural asset.
• 🪵Prized timbers from around the region, handmade wavy glass and an entrance step cut from a single large cherry plank remain in place.

Gankutsu-no-yu — Misasa's Only Thorium Spring

• ♨️The inn owns five sources, three of them naturally gushing; the water is a weakly radioactive sodium chloride spring.
• 🪨This signature bath uses the rocks of the Mitoku River bed where water once welled up; of its three pools, the upper one is a thorium spring found only here in Misasa Onsen.
• ⏰Men and women alternate by time slot, and the rocky floor calls for care, especially at night.

Twenty Rooms, No Two Alike

• 🛏️All 20 rooms look out on the Mitoku River and are named after the timber used in their ceilings and pillars, such as Nanten and Sakura.
• 🌸The special Goto room has 10 tatami mats plus an 8-mat side room, a cypress bath fed by the hot spring and two beds.
• 🛁Suisen (18 tatami, up to six guests) has a private garden with cypress and ceramic open-air baths, and other rooms come with open-air baths drawing 60°C source water.
