A traditional Ryokan offering relaxation with the seasonal beauty of Mikawa Bay and revitalizing hot springs.
Hiranoya is the oldest ryokan in Miya Onsen, nestled in the scenic Mikawa Bay. Located on a hill, it offers stunning views of Mikawa Bay that change with each season. This ryokan takes pride in its Kaiseki cuisine featuring delicacies from the mountains and sea of Mikawa, as well as exquisite deep-sea fish dishes from Gamagori. The buffet with 40 Japanese and Western dishes, including Mikawa beef steak, is also popular. Guests can enjoy the natural onsen "Bihaku-sen," known for its beautifying properties, through four unique baths within the facility. Conveniently located just a 3-minute drive from the multi-resort facility "Laguna Ten Bosch," Hiranoya offers free shuttle service and is highly rated as a base for visiting Laguna Ten Bosch. Additionally, Hiranoya is one of the few accommodations in Miya Onsen where guests can stay with their pets (small dogs only). Various pet-friendly plans are also available.
My spouse and I stayed for one night with our dog.The property was clean and very welcoming, and the rooftop dog run was great.There was no dinner, only a breakfast buffet, but the selection was extensive and everything was delicious.The staff were attentive, so we could enjoy our meal comfortably.If I had one complaint, it would be that the parking lot is small; since we arrived later, we had to park in the second or third lot down below and walk up the hill, which felt quite far.
We arrived early, but the staff kindly handled our check-in.The welcome coffee was delicious; you grind the beans yourself.Dinner was also excellent—we ended up eating too much because the Mikawa beef steak and freshly fried tempura were so good.However, the open-air bath was in a separate area and had no handrails, so it was a bit difficult for elderly guests with mobility issues to use.Since this is a Hotel where you can stay with pets, it’s recommended for guests traveling with dogs.We would like to visit again.

■ "Mask-Wearing Policy Within the Property"
At Hirano-ya, in line with the government's policy changes, starting from March 13, the decision regarding mask-wearing within the Ryokan for both guests and our staff will be left to individual discretion.
This decision has been made considering the decrease in new COVID-19 cases and respecting individual freedom.
Additionally, by removing masks, we aim to provide service with smiles, which we have been unable to show for over three years.
However, in cases of symptoms such as coughing or sneezing due to allergies, we may request both our staff and guests to wear masks as a matter of etiquette towards other guests.
We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation.
Furthermore, we request your continued cooperation in hand sanitization upon entry and during meals.
■ Hirano-ya Sauna Now Open!
Our Property has opened a sauna starting in April!
We offer various sauna Facilities, including the "Cave Sauna," "Sauna Lounge," "Private Sauna Room - shiro -," and "Private Sauna Room - tya -."
Uncommon among Ryokans in Aichi Prefecture, we have introduced an authentic Finnish sauna, and in the private saunas, the room temperature can be adjusted to your preference in 0.5-degree increments.
Please enjoy a high-quality relaxation space.
*The Private Sauna Room, usually priced at 11,000 yen, is available exclusively for staying guests at a special rate of 7,700 yen.
A traditional Ryokan boasting Mikawa's mountain and sea delicacies, as well as exquisite deep-sea fish cuisine from Gamagori.
Hiranoya was established in 1932 as a small culinary Ryokan. Mikawa is blessed with a mild climate throughout the year and is surrounded by nature, including the sea and mountains. Our head chef carefully prepares each dish using locally sourced ingredients to bring out the natural flavors of this region. In Gamagori, where Hiranoya is located, rare deep-sea fish such as Mehikari, Nigis, and Akasaebi are caught in abundance—different from those found in Ise or Mikawa Bay. Gamagori is the only place in the prefecture where offshore bottom trawl fishing takes place, making these fish a local specialty. At our Ryokan, we offer luxurious kaiseki cuisine featuring these premium deep-sea delicacies for your enjoyment.
The "Japanese-Western 40-Item Dinner Buffet," featuring freshly grilled Mikawa beef steak, is also highly recommended.
In addition to kaiseki cuisine, our Japanese-Western dinner buffet featuring 40 dishes is also highly popular, offering a rich taste of Mikawa. Enjoy freshly grilled steak from Aichi Prefecture's renowned wagyu brand, "Mikawa Beef." The buffet also includes freshly fried tempura, a salad bar focusing on vegetables, and a dessert corner, making it especially popular with families.
Private Sauna
At Hirano-ya, we offer a premium sauna experience that has won the "Japan Space Design Award 2023" and the "DFA Design for Asia Awards 2023." Our private saunas, "shiro" and "tya," allow you to customize lighting, temperature, and music. Adjust the brightness freely, set the temperature from 60°C to 99.5°C in 0.5°C increments, or play your favorite music via Bluetooth speakers—relax in an environment tailored just for you. After sweating it out, enjoy an outdoor cool-down while admiring nature or art installations. The "Cave Sauna" features IKI by renowned manufacturer METOS. Using sauna stones recognized even in Finland—the home of saunas—you can indulge in a high-quality self-loyly experience.
Garden Open-Air Bath
Hiranoya offers a variety of unique bathing experiences, including the "Garden Open-Air Bath Hina no Yu," the "Cave Bath," and the "Large Public Bath Kirara no Yu," allowing you to enjoy an onsen tour within the facility. The natural onsen of Mitani, renowned as "Bijin no Yu" (Beauty Hot Spring), is a rare alkaline simple spring with low salt and calcium content, commonly found in coastal areas. It contains various ions and is colorless, transparent, and gentle on the skin, earning it the name "Bihaku-sen" (Whitening Hot Spring). Additionally, our baths feature mineral-rich "rock bed stones" installed in the tubs. These enhance far-infrared effects and mineral absorption for increased perspiration and detoxification benefits. Immerse yourself in soothing waters that embrace your heart while enjoying a serene moment infused with natural warmth.
Rooms with views of Mikawa Bay and a touch of traditional Japanese elegance
Centered around the serene "Main Building" with a traditional Japanese ambiance, we also offer the "East Wing Ryokusuitei" and the "West Wing Yurakutei." The "West Wing Yurakutei," in particular, features uniquely themed floors inspired by Japanese traditions: 【Ceramics】【Textiles】【Craftsmanship】. Each Room is distinctively designed with furnishings that highlight these themes, incorporating unique elements of pottery, weaving, and fine woodwork. Enjoy breathtaking views of Mikawa Bay and majestic mountains while relaxing in a tranquil and peaceful space.
Hiranoya warmly welcomes small dogs! We offer an accommodation plan where you can enjoy an onsen trip with your pet. The room provided is the "Main Building Dog-Friendly Room" located on the 6th floor of the main building. Relax in a tatami room and experience the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Japanese-style onsen ryokan. Nearby, you'll find plenty of spots to enjoy with your dog, such as "Laguna Ten Bosch" and "Takeshima." *Please note that stays with pets are only allowed in designated rooms. Other room types are not available for guests with pets, so please make a reservation from the dedicated accommodation plan.
Dinner can be enjoyed in a private room with your dog, allowing both you and your pet to relax and enjoy your trip. We offer local specialties such as a kaiseki meal featuring live kuruma shrimp, designated as the prefectural fish of Aichi, and another kaiseki meal showcasing exquisite deep-sea fish from Gamagori. *Breakfast is served buffet-style. Please note that pets are not allowed in the breakfast venue, so they will need to stay in the Room during this time.
Spacious Rooftop Dog Run
The rooftop of the main building features a dog run. On sunny days, you can let your dog run freely outdoors and enjoy quality playtime together. The dog run is equipped with slope toys for added fun, so feel free to make use of them. Additionally, there is a rest area with benches for owners, allowing you to relax while watching your dog play energetically.
