[Tranquil Location] Our ryokan is just a 3–4 minute walk from Kusatsu’s iconic Yubatake. While located in the heart of the town, it is surrounded by a temple and a shrine, providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the hot spring district. [Shiriyaki Bath] Our signature bath is the patented "Shiriyaki Bath", offering a one-of-a-kind Kusatsu Onsen experience. The bath features 100% free-flowing hot spring water sourced from Yubatake. It is made with carefully selected akamatsu (Japanese red pine), a traditional material rarely seen nowadays. Following a three-month renovation period, we reopened on December 28, 2022, with an upgraded and more comfortable bathing experience. [Meals] Our ryokan primarily offers accommodation only, without meals. However, if you would like breakfast, please request it at the time of booking or contact us in advance. We serve a light Japanese-style breakfast featuring locally sourced rice from a contracted farm. Special attention is given to the rice preparation, and it has received excellent reviews for its delicious taste. [Parking] Despite being in the town center, where open spaces are limited, we have a parking lot conveniently located in front of the entrance. Guests may use the parking lot for free until 2:00 PM after check-out. [Power Spot] Next to our entrance is Kita-Muki Asama Shrine, a unique spiritual site located on a small mound. Guests who climb to the top to pray can receive a Climbing Certificate as a fun and educational keepsake. [Please Note] Our ryokan is situated on an elevated area along a steep slope (the old Shinshu-Kusatsu trade route). Additionally, there is no elevator, and the facility is not barrier-free. We kindly advise that guests with mobility concerns or elderly guests consider this before booking.

[Surrounding Area] Next to our ryokan is Kakomiyama Park, home to Shirane Shrine. Adjacent to the park is a sumo training facility. To the west of the park, about a 10-minute walk away, is Sainokawara Park (also known as "Sai-no-Kawara"), a scenic area with open-air hot springs and stone-stacked offerings, historically associated with Buddhist folklore. Additionally, Yubatake and Otaki-no-Yu are just a 3-minute walk away, making our ryokan a highly convenient base for exploring local attractions.
