Founded in the Muromachi period, this long-established inn on the famous Stone Step Street invites you to enjoy the free-flowing “Kogane no Yu” hot spring.

A historic Ryokan established during the Muromachi period. Our pride is the Onsen, "Golden Hot Spring," featuring natural free-flowing spring water. This authentic Onsen boasts a unique tea-brown color and is rich in mineral deposits. After enjoying the Onsen, we recommend taking a stroll through Ikaho's famous Stone Steps Street.

  • I felt the distinguished charm of a long-established Ryokan.

    Dinner was excellent, and I appreciated the thoughtful way it was served. While preserving the traditional Hotel building and the Room’s classic design, modern conveniences have been incorporated, and operations feel efficient and well managed. The staff also seemed very well trained.

  • Hot spring hopping is the best!

    I have visited Ikaho several times for Onsen-hopping, and this time I stayed at Kishigon, which I had wanted to try for a while.\n\nI really enjoyed visiting the three different baths. In particular, Gonzaemon-no-Yu had a wonderful atmosphere and became my favorite.\n\nWhen I visited Ikaho last time, I stayed at another Onsen Accommodation with the same Golden Hot Spring water, but it was disappointingly lukewarm, so I was a bit worried. However, at Kishigon the temperature was just right for me and it was excellent.\n\nThe view from the Room was great as well. At the post-bath lounge area (available only during certain hours), we could enjoy alcoholic drinks, and in the lounge we could have coffee.\n\nSince the stone steps are right in front of the Accommodation, it was easy to take a stroll after check-in or after dinner.\n\nOverall, it was great value—there were so many things to enjoy at a reasonable price.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Onsen and bath

Onsen and bath

Ikaho Onsen (Golden Source Water) is characterized by its unique reddish-brown color, caused by the oxidation of iron in the water when exposed to air. With a focus on the water and the view, there are a total of 13 baths, including the main building, detached buildings, bathhouse, and footbath, all utilizing 100% natural spring water.

History

Established in the fourth year of Tensho, this is one of the oldest properties in Ikaho Onsen.

At Ikaho Onsen, there are approximately over 60 Ryokans, among which three have been in existence for over 450 years, from the Muromachi period to the current Heisei era, that is, from the mid-16th century to the 21st century, and one of them is our establishment, "Kishigon Ryokan."
