About Nansuikaku
"Nansuikaku" is a hot spring ryokan in Miyawaka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. On the grounds, embraced by the pristine nature of Inunaki, lies Yunozan no Sato, where a variety of open-air baths are scattered throughout, promising a blissful hot spring-hopping experience. After working up a good sweat in the far-infrared kamaburo, enjoy an invigorating hot-and-cold alternating bath by toning your whole body in the pleasantly cool cold spring bath. The skin-friendly, smooth alkaline simple spring gently melts away accumulated fatigue. Private spaces are also well appointed, including family baths with freshly drawn water for each use and guestrooms with their own hot spring baths, where you can savor your own time in peace. Along with gourmet dishes such as hand-cut soba and charcoal-grilled local chicken, you can fully savor a deep sense of relaxation away from everyday life.
Hot SpringONSEN
Yunozan no Sato
A paradise for hot spring hopping that the inn proudly offers, with a wide variety of open-air baths scattered across both the men's and women's sides. There are many uniquely charming open-air baths, including Shosuke no Yu, where hot water overflows from a giant sake barrel, and a rustic bath with a waterwheel turning beside it. Soaking in the skin-friendly alkaline simple spring, you can feel the clear air of Inunaki and the rustling leaves of the trees gently stimulating all five senses. At night, gaze up at the starry sky, and by day, while embraced by dazzling greenery, enjoy a luxurious open-air bath full of openness to your heart's content.
Indoor Large Bath
A peaceful indoor large bath where you can feel the quiet murmur of the Inunaki River up close. The spacious tub is generously filled with smooth alkaline simple spring water, and as you sink in up to your shoulders, you are led into deep relaxation far from the bustle of everyday life. In the morning, the men's and women's bath areas switch, so you can enjoy twice the experience, with changing light streaming in depending on the time of day and the different character of the tubs.
Hidamari Family Bath
A private family bath with six tubs, each designed with its own style using rock, Japanese cypress, and wooden buckets. The standout feature is the luxurious system of refilling the bath with fresh water every time it is used. You can always enjoy the clean, just-drawn comfort of the first bath of the day. Through the windows of this private space, seasonal scenery unfolds, allowing you to fully enjoy the Wakita hot spring with your loved ones or family, undisturbed by anyone else.
Yumegomori Family Bath
A nostalgic, folkcraft-style private bath that appears when you open a small door tucked away among the trees. After passing through the changing room wrapped in the warmth of wood, you find a huge stone bath large enough for several people to stretch out comfortably. In this quiet space with a touch of nostalgia, if you surrender yourself to the high-quality alkaline simple spring, you are wrapped in a deep sense of calm, as if time itself has stopped. It is an ideal place to relax, whether with a group or a large family.
Guestrooms with Hot Spring Baths
A special space equipped with a private hot spring, available only in a limited number of the 29 guestrooms. Each room has either an open-air bath, a scenic bath, or a fragrant indoor Japanese cypress bath, allowing you to enjoy high-quality water whenever you like, as often as you like. While taking in the abundant nature of Inunaki outside the window like a painting, you can immerse yourself in a truly private stay, free from anyone's gaze and devoted entirely to a dialogue between the hot water and the scenery.
