A 400-year-old Property located in the center of the Shibu Onsen town. Enjoy a tour of six types of hot springs and 14 baths, all of which are completely private within the Property. Relax your mind and body with 100% natural Onsen water. <The nostalgic town of Shibu Onsen, filled with steam> It is said that Shibu Onsen was discovered by the Buddhist monk Gyoki during the Nara period. Later, the Onsen-ji Temple was established through the contributions of the Sengoku warlord Takeda Shingen. During the battles of Kawanakajima, Shibu Onsen served as a healing place for wounded soldiers. The first proprietor of Kokuya, Ichizaemon, originally ran a rice merchant business called Kokuya but later opened an inn for travelers. Since then, the Property has been cherished by guests, and the current proprietor is the 16th generation.

Both a 140-year-old traditional Japanese house and a Western-style building rich in Meiji-era Western culture are available for exclusive use.
