Shirahone Onsen Yumoto Saito Ryokan
Nagano Prefecture/Shirahone OnsenProperty with a 284-year history, milky white hot spring, effective for gastrointestinal diseases.
The Yumoto Saito Ryokan, with a history of 284 years, is a charming property blending the Shirahone Onsen and the traditional ambiance of Shinshu. The onsen, sourced from its own spring since the Kamakura period, is milky white and is said to be effective for gastrointestinal ailments. All 53 guest rooms are named after notable novelists and poets, offering a serene space for relaxation. Additionally, you can savor Japanese seasonal course meals featuring the bounty of Shinshu's mountains and rivers.
It was my first time at Shirahone Onsen, and it exceeded everything I had heard. A milky-white, wonderfully silky bath with a proper sulfur scent—my skin felt so smooth afterward. As for the Ryokan, the hospitality was astonishing by today’s standards. They greeted us right at our car upon arrival and even carried our luggage. Every staff member was consistently polite, and if they saw us heading to the baths, they would immediately call the elevator for us. Most surprising of all was the food—everything was delicious. It was my first time trying snow trout sashimi, and I couldn’t believe how good it was. The dishes weren’t just tasty; they were also beautifully presented. The Ryokan’s Shifuku Mochi was also amazing—I bought three boxes as souvenirs. My husband usually doesn’t eat Japanese sweets, but he unusually ate four pieces. When we contacted them out of concern that heavy rain might close the roads, they kindly explained everything in detail as well. Overall, I felt the staff’s level of hospitality was exceptional—it’s easy to see why so many guests return. I’d love to come again next year. Thank you very much!

The service was attentive, the meals were carefully prepared and delicious, and the baths were clean and relaxing. The Room was a spacious Japanese-Western style room. It made me want to come back again!

Introduction of the Accommodation

Open-air bath 'Oni ga Shiro'
During the Kamakura period, the shortest route connecting the Hokuriku region and the shogunate was established here. It is said that hot springs have been flowing in Shirahone since that time, with a history spanning over 600 years. Our onsen features a unique milky white color and uses natural spring water. Drinking it is believed to be particularly effective for gastrointestinal ailments. Enjoy a relaxing moment while soaking in the onsen.
