Surrounded by nature and embraced by cool breezes, enjoy the smooth, milky-white "Silk Bath."

Since ancient times, it has been said that bathing in Shirahone Onsen for three days can prevent colds for three years. Tsuruya Ryokan offers the gentlest spring quality in Shirahone Onsen. Relax to the sound of the mountain stream and enjoy the milky white hues and sulfur aroma.

  • The Onsen was truly wonderful, just as rumored. Despite being a secluded hot spring, the meals were excellent and the hospitality was genuinely pleasant.

  • Relaxed and enjoyed the Onsen at a leisurely pace. The quality of the spring water was excellent, and both the indoor and open-air baths were delightful. It was an incredibly luxurious experience. The Shinshu salmon and Shinshu beef were delicious. The fresh spring water drawn from the rocks was also very tasty, and I had some to take with me. This accommodation truly embodies heartfelt hospitality. I would love to visit this accommodation again.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Onsen & Bath

Abundant natural hot spring water, untouched and pure.

The Onsen at Tsuruyas is a natural hot spring, 100% free-flowing from its own private source. Its milky white color changes depending on the weather and the number of guests, reflecting nature's influence. Unusually for a cloudy Onsen, it has an almost neutral pH with high sulfur and carbonic acid content, offering one of the gentlest textures in Shirahone Onsen. Enjoy the unique "expression of the water" each day and its silky smooth touch.

Room
Listen to the murmuring of the mountain stream.

All our Rooms face the mountain stream. When you open the windows, you can enjoy the view of the lush primeval forest and hear the soothing sound of the flowing river. Please enjoy the seasonal landscapes of Shirahone throughout the year.

Meals
Kaiseki cuisine to enhance your journey, here at Shirahone Onsen.

We offer kaiseki cuisine featuring seasonal flavors, primarily using ingredients from Shinshu. Enjoy a comparison of Shinshu beef and Hida beef as part of the main dish. Each dish is carefully crafted by our skilled chefs for your enjoyment.
