About this ryokan

♨️A Miracle Spring, Rising Right Beneath Your Feet

Okayama · Okutsuso, Okutsu Onsen

A Miracle Spring Rising Beneath Your Feet

♨️Water wells up directly from the tub floor in a rare 'ashimoto-yushutsu' spring — a phenomenon found in only about 0.001% of Japan's hot springs.
💧With a natural flow of 247 liters per minute, it's 100% source-fed kakenagashi — no recirculation, no reheating, no dilution.
🌿A pH 9.3 alkaline simple spring at 42.6°C — colorless, odorless, and gently soft to the touch.

Four Baths, Four Distinct Characters

🪨The signature Kagi-yu bath is built right into the natural granite riverbed, with the feel of an open-air soak.
🧍Tachi-yu, a standing bath up to 120cm deep, offers a delightfully unusual way to soak.
🚪Two private baths round things out — river-view Kawa-no-yu and Izumi-no-yu, lit through stained glass.

Rooms Embracing the Mountain Stream

🏡The standalone Seikantei room is a Japanese-Western suite with its own private outdoor bath fed straight from the source.
🌊Most rooms face the mountain stream, carrying the character of a nationally registered tangible cultural property.
🛋️Choose from traditional tatami rooms to the modern TSUBAKI and KEYAKI rooms with their own shower booths.

Kaiseki Through Okayama's Four Seasons

🍽️A Michelin-starred chef oversees seasonal kaiseki built around Okayama and Okutsu ingredients.
🥩Standouts include local Ji-yagyu beef shabu-shabu cooked with the hot spring water, and a bone-simmered sozori nabe hot pot.
🍶About 10 sakes are on offer, including the original Kagi-yu chilled sake brewed from Okayama's traditional Omachi rice.

Flavors of the Season

🍄Autumn and winter bring limited-time courses like matsutake kaiseki, and hot pots of fugu, snow crab, and wild boar.
🍚Koshihikari rice, contract-grown at a pristine 600–700m elevation, is served with every meal.
🍲From October, warming hot pots like duck nabe simmered in hot spring water become a favorite.

A Century of Character

🏛️A hot spring ryokan with over a century of history, designated a registered tangible cultural property.
🧺Traditional facilities, including an old-fashioned foot-treading laundry, have recently reopened to guests.
🛍️Alongside the lounge and dining hall, an online shop offers the ryokan's original goods.

The Streamside Scenery of Okutsu

🏞️Set along the stream in Okutsu, Kagamino Town, a tranquil mountain hot spring village unfolds around you.
🍁Fresh spring greenery and autumn foliage change with the seasons just beyond your window.
🌌A quiet retreat far from the bustle of the city, perfect for a peaceful soak.

Getting There

🚗About 100 minutes from Okayama Station, or 90 minutes from Okayama Airport.
🚆The nearest station is Tsuyama, connected by Chugoku Bus route service (departures are infrequent, so check schedules in advance).
🚌From Osaka and other cities, the Chugoku Highway Bus (Shinki Bus) is also an option.

Experience 100% source water rising right beneath your feet — a 'miracle spring' ranked among Japan's finest — inside a century-old, nationally registered tangible cultural property. Rooms facing the mountain stream and kaiseki built around Okayama's four seasons complete this quiet mountain hot spring retreat.
