A long-established Ryokan founded in 1502, located midway along the stone steps of Ikaho Onsen’s famous stairway street.

In the wooden main building, constructed from the Taisho era to the early Showa period, each Room features its own unique character and design, offering a calm atmosphere shaped by years of history. At every bath in the Accommodation, enjoy Ikaho’s signature tea-brown hot spring, “Kogane-no-Yu,” with 100% free-flowing natural spring water—no added water and no circulation. In addition to a large public bath and an open-air bath, we also offer private baths that require no Reservation. Some Rooms also let you enjoy free-flowing hot spring water in your guest Room for a stay that suits your style. For dinner, we serve a Japanese kaiseki course featuring seasonal ingredients. After strolling along the Stone Steps Street, unwind in the timeless charm of this historic Accommodation and enjoy a refined getaway that lets you truly relax. We look forward to welcoming you for a memorable stay filled with travel-inspired moments.

■ Large Public Bath “Nino-yu” This is the signature large public bath of Chiaki Jinsen-tei. It features a generous free-flowing bath of “Kogane-no-Yu.” While it may look like an ordinary tub at first glance, the bath is actually 1 meter deep (5 m × 3 m). ■ Large Public Bath “Taki-yu” The gender-segregated large public bath “Taki-yu” has a charming retro atmosphere. True to its name, “Kogane-no-Yu” pours into the tub like a waterfall. *Please note: The men’s and women’s baths rotate by time slot (the switch takes place around 1:00 a.m.).*

Remarks
Our Accommodation is one of the “Big Three” in terms of the volume of hot spring source water in Ikaho Onsen. Ikaho has two types of hot spring sources, and our Accommodation uses only the tea-brown “Kogane (Golden) no Yu,” which is synonymous with Ikaho. Inside the property, you can enjoy four private baths, large public baths for men and women, open-air baths with indoor bathing areas for men and women, and well-appointed bathing facilities—all 100% free-flowing from the source, with absolutely no added water or circulation. The spring quality of “Kogane (Golden) no Yu” is “”. Despite being a richly concentrated Onsen, it is a neutral bath with low irritation that leaves your skin feeling comfortably moisturized. Please fully experience Ikaho’s renowned tea-brown “Kogane (Golden) no Yu,” delivered directly from the source.
