About

Kamoikeso is the ryokan at Green Park Santo (グリーンパーク山東), an outdoor leisure park in Maibara with camping, a forest adventure course, and sports courts. Its bath, Bihada no Yu (美肌の湯, literally "beauty-skin water"), isn't a natural hot spring: the water runs through a softener rather than coming from a spring, and it leaves the skin smooth instead of tight. There's an indoor bath and an open-air one facing Mt. Ibuki (伊吹山), plus a sauna and a cold plunge on each side. Rooms are plain tatami, seven of them; most don't have their own bath (two come with a simple en-suite tub), and the north-facing rooms look out at the mountain through the seasons. It feels more like a group lodge than a classic ryokan: families, school trips, and company outings stay here as much for the park's camping and barbecue as for the bath.
