A timeless hot-spring inn, where nostalgia and
unhurried Shirahama moments await.
Our inn has stood for more than fifty years at Shirahama Onsen—one of Japan’s three most ancient springs, with over 1,300 years of history. Since our founding, we have welcomed countless guests while extending and renewing the building over the years.
There are places where you may sense our age. For those seeking a fully automated hotel with the latest facilities, or a stylish modern resort, we may not be what you are looking for. But for those who find comfort in a “nostalgic old hot-spring inn”—the sound of footsteps along the corridor, the scent of tatami, the murmur of the tide through the window—we are certain you will be pleased.
“I’m so glad we stayed here. I want to come back.”
To earn those words, all of our staff will serve you with the utmost sincerity and care.
