Ikaho Onsen Chigira Jinsentei
Gunma Prefecture/Ikaho OnsenA 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.
