A hidden property in Kawaji, Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, featuring an open-air bath surrounded by bamboo groves.
Kawaji lies along the Aizu Nishi Kaido, a historic route. Located near Nikko, long renowned as a sightseeing destination, it once served as a key passage linking Edo and Aizu in Oshu. The Onsen that springs up in Kawaji was also valued for helping with injuries, giving rise to the saying, “For wounds, Kawaji; for burns, Taki,” and it became a place of therapeutic bathing where many travelers soothed their fatigue. Building on this legacy today, we are renewing our property as “Iwai Yado Ju-an,” aiming to be a hidden Accommodation in Kawaji where guests from afar can relax with ease and melt away everyday tiredness. With magnificent nature 펼 펼 before you, we hope you will forget time and gently warm your memories and heart.
I made a Reservation because I was drawn to the title of this Accommodation, and it was absolutely the right choice!This is a simple, historic Accommodation, yet it feels spotless throughout. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles from the staff, and we were very satisfied with the quality of the Onsen water.The “Taste of Local Bounty” dining menu was especially memorable—above all, being able to bite into a whole river fish from head to tail was an experience you won’t find elsewhere.
コム0505 6/15/2026This was our first stay as three generations, and the food was excellent! However, the dishes were served too quickly, and we would have liked to enjoy the meal at a more relaxed pace. The open-air bath was also lukewarm, so we couldn’t use it at night.
