About Hitoyoshi Onsen Hitoyoshi Ryokan

Hitoyoshi Ryokan, standing along the Kuma River in Hitoyoshi City, is a historic inn founded in 1934 and designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. The interior preserves the beauty of the architecture from that era, and the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a nostalgic atmosphere that feels like time travel. Its pride and joy is the hot spring, a 100% natural free-flowing source bath that has earned high praise from international onsen scholars. The sodium bicarbonate-chloride spring has a silky, slightly viscous texture and is renowned as a Bijin no Yu, or beauty bath, combining cleansing benefits with excellent moisturizing properties. Guests can enjoy freshly sourced water in baths with different atmospheres, including a unique tub 80 cm deep and a rustic rock bath.

Hitoyoshi Onsen

A natural hot spring with over 80 years of history, fed by 100% natural free-flowing source water. It is known for its uniquely smooth, silky texture and is cherished as a Bijin no Yu, combining a cleansing effect that removes old dead skin cells with a moisturizing effect that leaves the skin hydrated. Drinking the spring water is also possible, and it is said to help regulate digestive function. Guests can enjoy a luxurious soak that makes the most of the abundant hot spring water, including an imaginative bathing space where you sit on a wooden bench in an 80 cm-deep tub, as well as an open-air bath with a sense of openness.
