About
Located in a mountainous area of Wakayama, this village-run onsen ryokan offers casual modern cottages. The hot spring water is sulfurous with a pH above 9, known for beautifying effects. Baths include open-air pools with views of surrounding mountains and rivers, and some individual pots use the cold source water directly. The facility is adjacent to a roadside station, making it convenient for visitors.
