A Hotel in Arifuku Onsen Showcasing Shimane’s Traditional Craftsmanship

Located in Gotsu City, Shimane Prefecture, once featured in textbooks as the "most remote town" accessible by public transportation from Tokyo. Despite its somewhat inconvenient access, a Hotel showcasing the craftsmanship of Shimane Prefecture opened here in July 2022. With only five guest rooms, every corner is filled with the warmth of handmade artistry and the passionate dedication of skilled craftsmen. Nestled deep in untouched nature, enjoy Arifuku Onsen, which has been flowing since the era of Prince Shotoku. Take your time to savor a unique and unforgettable experience available only here.

  • Thank you very much for taking care of us during our 3-day, 2-night stay. I recently read a magazine passage saying that travel is about venturing deep into a place and encountering an essence you can only meet in that moment—I truly agree. It felt restrictive yet somehow freeing; inconvenient, yet we hardly noticed. This Ryokan (deliberately not a Hotel) has a wonderful handmade feel and plenty of room to grow. Arifuku bianco was also delicious. It was a space where we could enjoy even more local sake, wine, and whisky. Of course, visiting the public baths had its own charm as well. Iwami Kagura was powerful and impressive. My rating is slightly strict.

  • The building’s design felt thoughtfully curated, and the indigo dyeing was wonderful.The Onsen water at Arifuku Onsen was also excellent, and I’d love to visit again.Just one small note: the curtain in the toilet area didn’t feel very relaxing.
