“Sawando” means “a place where rivers meet.” In December 1998, Onsen water was brought to this area—long used as a gateway to Kamikochi—and Sawando Onsen was born. Our inn opened five years later, in July 2003. Surrounded by mountains and little else, Keiryuso Shiorie warmly welcomes you. We hope you will enjoy the nature, unwind from everyday fatigue, celebrate an anniversary with someone special, or treat yourself for all your hard work—we would be truly happy if you choose Shiorie for moments like these.

Shirahone Onsen has long been said to keep you from catching a cold for three years after just three days of bathing. At Oyado Tsuruya, instead of the traditional long-stay cure, we offer a modern Onsen retreat that fits into a weekend. Our waters are a milky-white “Silk Bath,” known as one of the gentlest in Shirahone Onsen, with an exceptionally smooth feel on the skin. We provide an easy-to-follow bathing guide even for first-time guests, and suggest ways to enjoy the baths to suit your needs—along with moments of relaxation in our post-bath lounge—so that simply staying here helps you reset. Unwind body and mind tightened by everyday busyness, and experience how much lighter you can feel with a one-night, two-day stay.
