A long-established inn in Tamatsukuri Onsen boasting over 120 years of history. Its greatest pride is the "Ryugu-no-yu," one of Japan's largest mixed-gender open-air baths covering 120 tsubo (approx. 400m²). Since guests wear dedicated bathing suits, couples and families can enjoy the vast, garden-like bath together. The 10,000-tsubo strolling Japanese garden shows pinnacle beauty each season, and walking through it feels like your soul is being washed. Despite its high prestige—having hosted members of the Imperial Family—a warm "Omotenashi" spirit lives on. It is a place continuously chosen by guests from all over the world who want to experience both Japanese history and luxurious healing.
