The ryokan runs on three of its own hot-spring wells. The main indoor bath, Oyakushi-sama no Yu (お薬師さま乃湯), takes its name from a Yakushi Buddha statue unearthed when the well was drilled and the ryokan's old wooden wing was built; it's enshrined in the rest area by the baths today, and guests are invited to sip a little of the spring water as well as soak in it. A separate reservable bath, Shinju no Yu (真珠の湯), is a large hinoki-wood tub built for around ten people. Nine of the forty-four guest rooms have their own private open-air bath, and some of the suites look out over the Misasa hot-spring town below. The two shared bathing rooms swap between men and women morning and evening rather than mixing, and reviewers call it a calm, unshowy place to stay.
