[Chichibu Pilgrimage “Uma Year” Grand Opening of Sacred Sites: 2026/3/18–11/30] 10 minutes by car to No. 32 Hosenji Temple; the third-closest Accommodation to Mitsumine Shrine. Founded in the late Edo period, Yanagiya is an Accommodation nestled in the mountains of Oku-Chichibu, proud of its creative cuisine made with gifts from the mountains and its handmade soba noodles. The owner carefully hand-makes these wonderfully fragrant soba noodles—truly exceptional. With 400 years of history, Shibahara Onsen is one of the seven famous hot springs of Chichibu and has been used for therapeutic bathing since the early Edo period. Relax and soothe your body in our natural spring water, “Shiramimin no Yu,” drawn up from a well on the Ryokan grounds.

A limited accommodation for six groups per day, featuring two distinct styles: the 150-year-old residence of a local notable, affectionately called "Ooya" by villagers, and the "Cliff House" with breathtaking mountain views. A fusion of sophisticated designer furniture and traditional architecture, complemented by the local Onsen known as "Bijin no Yu." Enjoy beautifully crafted dishes made with seasonal ingredients from the village and a selection of local sake in an all-inclusive experience. Immerse yourself in village life and discover the source of true richness during your stay.
