Saga · Takeo Onsen Yumotoso Toyokan

1

Four Centuries of History, and Musashi's Lodging

• 🏯A venerable ryokan with 400 years of history, founded in the Keicho era as the inn 'Shokokuya'
• ⚔️The storied lodging where sword saint Miyamoto Musashi refined his ideas for The Book of Five Rings after the Shimabara Rebellion
• 🚰The well said to have been used morning and evening by Musashi still remains on the property

2

A Private Spring, Rising at 46°C

• ♨️An alkaline simple spring rising at 46°C right on the property, enjoyed with no added water or heating
• 🛁The first-floor bath 'Daidai no Yu' is true kakenagashi — the source water flowing through undiluted
• 🌿A clear, colorless spring of fine quality, good for neuralgia, muscle pain, poor circulation, and skin, warming you through to the core

Two Fourth-Floor View Baths

• 🌅Open, expansive baths on the fourth floor — 'Musashi no Yu' for men and 'Otsuu no Yu' for women

Kaiseki Capturing Saga's Four Seasons

A Breakfast That Knows Its Producers

21 Rooms, Each With Its Own Character

• 🛏️21 rooms in all, from the detached 'Sanchaka' with its own indoor spring bath to standard 8-mat Japanese rooms
• 🏮The 12-mat rooms 206 and 306 look directly out onto the vermilion 'Romon' gate, the symbol of Takeo Onsen
• 🎨The Japanese-Western room 'Nishikigi' is furnished with Arita-yaki plates and objects by local potters

A Property Steeped in Pottery-Town Culture

A New Hub for Exploring Western Kyushu

• 🚄The nearest station, Takeo Onsen, is a core stop on the Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen, which opened in 2022
• 🚶About a 10-minute walk from JR Takeo Onsen Station, with Nagasaki roughly 30 minutes away by shinkansen
• 🅿️A dedicated parking lot for 19 cars sits across the road, and limousine taxis from Saga Airport are available

At this four-century-old inn where the sword saint Musashi once lost himself in thought, discover an onsen fed by its own on-site spring and kaiseki that captures Saga's four seasons. Steeped in the character of Takeo, a town of pottery, Toyokan awaits your visit in every season.
