A Century-Old Inn, Reimagined

• 🏯Founded in 1926 in Mine Onsen, Kawazu, the inn was renovated in 2013.
• 🎨Interiors were produced by Shigeru Uchida, the first interior designer to receive Japan's Medal with Purple Ribbon, with a bold black-based design.
• 🌳A stroll-style Japanese garden of a main and a separate garden shows the seasons by day, and you can walk the lit pond at night.

Free-Flowing Mine Onsen Baths

• ♨️Mine Onsen, said to have sprung up in 779, flows straight from the source, and the neighboring well tower still shoots 100℃ water about 30 m high.
• 🪨The big rock open-air bath Suika is spacious enough for 30 people, and you can hear the spring gushing as you soak.
• 🍁Kazahana has a hiba-wood open-air bath and two indoor baths; its mildly alkaline water keeps you warm.

Three Free Private Baths

• 🏺Kunpu sets a Shigaraki-ware ceramic tub in a cypress-scented bathroom.
• 🖤Koufu is all black, from tub to walls and floor, facing a garden with a stone lantern.
• 🏮Yunagi sits right beside the source tower with its steam and sound; all three are reserved at the front desk, 40 minutes per use, free and repeatable when open.
