One of Japan's Strongest Cold Saline Springs

• ♨️A sodium-chloride cold spring with 15,670mg/kg of dissolved minerals, an exceptionally strong therapeutic water
• 🧂The spring emerges at 16.5°C and is warmed for bathing, with a salty taste reminiscent of kombu tea

A Mountain Kaiseki of Wholesome Flavor, Cooked with Spring Water

• 🍲An authentic 'Sanri Kaiseki' featuring seasonal mountain greens, rice, and vegetables from the valley
• 🐟Freshwater dishes like carp arai, prepared with none of the usual muddy taste, using fish raised in the stream
• ⛲A clean taste from cooking solely with Makino Shimizu spring water, never tap water

5

A Signature Onsen-Water Rice Porridge Breakfast

• 🍚The signature 'onsen porridge,' boiled with nothing but spring water — no dashi, no seasoning — carrying a hint of kombu tea
• 🐟A thoughtful breakfast of miso-marinated salmon, house-made silken tofu, a small tray of mountain greens, and house-made yogurt
• ☕Sample the spring water and Murakami hojicha by the fireplace in the lounge

Three Wings, Each with Its Own Character

Lounge, Banquet Halls, and In-House Facilities
