Around Longhwa Falls × Accommodation With The Charm Of Wooden ArchitectureRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

The timeless spirit of Japanese tradition meets modern hospitality. At Koume-ya, we offer six uniquely designed Rooms for your stay. Relax and enjoy a luxurious moment in your favorite Room.

With over 350 years of history, Myogaya Honkan is a long-established, secluded Ryokan nestled along the gorge of the Shiobara Onsen area. Its signature highlight is the “Riverside Open-Air Bath,” where you can enjoy the soothing sound of the river up close. After descending 88 steps, you’ll find an immersive hidden-hot-spring atmosphere surrounded by nature. The Onsen features two distinct free-flowing natural sources: an iron-rich yellow-brown cloudy water that warms you to the core, and the rare “Sumi-yu” (ink-colored water) that springs from fissures in the earth. Guest rooms are calm Japanese-style rooms showcasing traditional aesthetics, with panoramic views of the gorge’s seasonal beauty from your window. Conveniently located about 2.5 hours from the Tokyo metropolitan area, it remains a favorite among discerning travelers seeking an authentic Onsen experience.

The accommodation is home to free-spirited cats, offering a soothing experience to visitors. The onsen features natural spring water with a gentle temperature, approximately 40°C indoors and 38°C outdoors, perfect for extended relaxation. All guest rooms overlook the clear stream of the Houki River and are designed with warm wooden interiors to create a cozy atmosphere. Meals are creative dishes made with seasonal local ingredients, including char and yamame trout freshly grilled just before serving. The accommodation also actively contributes to regional revitalization through initiatives such as opening a rescue cat café and promoting the "Oku-Nihon Silver Route." This is an ideal accommodation for those seeking harmony with nature and true relaxation.
