About this ryokan

♨️An onsen floating on a pond, water 800 years in the making

Nagano · Hishino Onsen Yakushikan

Ukishima-buro, an Onsen Bath Floating on the Pond

♨️'Ukishima-buro' juts out over the pond beside the ryokan, a main bath that feels like it's floating on water
🪨The path to Ukishima-buro passes through a cave built from real rock by the inn's founders
🚣The water's surface fills the windows, giving the sense of bathing aboard a boat

A 14°C Cold Spring and Alternating Bathing

🧊The 'Mizuburo' holds a 14°C cold spring that has flowed unchanged since the Edo period
🔥Alternate between the 41°C hot bath and 14°C cold spring for a true state of 'totonou' balance
💆Separate baths for men and women; the hot-cold rotation is said to boost circulation and ease fatigue

Main Bath: A Simple Carbonated Iron Spring

♨️A simple carbonated iron spring, said to help with muscle pain, neuralgia, and poor circulation
🌸A bath where you can see 'yu no hana,' mineral deposits formed by the spring itself
⛰️Fed by iron-rich natural spring water rising at the foot of Mount Asama

A Power Spot for Making Connections

⛩️'Oyakushi-san,' said to have been built in the early Edo period by the lord of Komoro Castle, is known as a spot for good connections
🪷A mystical space centered on the 'Musubi Kannon,' carved by sculptor Isao Uchibori
🏔️A panoramic view spanning the Yatsugatake range, Mount Tateshina, and Kirigamine

Four Seasons at 1,000 Meters, and Access

🐎An onsen village home to a pony, a duck named Ga-ko, serows, and squirrels
🍁Cool summers, cherry blossoms, the green Gyoiko blossoms, and larch trees turning color through every season
🚌12 minutes by car from Komoro IC, or about 15 minutes by free shuttle bus (reservation required) from Komoro Station

Set 1,000 meters up in the mountains, Hishino Onsen Yakushikan offers a hot-spring escape where body and mind find their balance — soaking in the pond-floating Ukishima bath and alternating with the cold spring bath that has flowed since the Edo period. Guests can also enjoy 'Kumo no Suke,' the view bath reached by cable car at the five-minute-walk sister inn Tokiwakan, making this a fitting choice for travelers seeking quiet healing amid nature.
