Aichi Minamichita Town
A Japanese-style inn with an open-air bath in the sky overlooking Ise Bay and soothing fragrance-based hospitality
"Genjiko" is a Japanese-style ryokan in Minamichita, Aichi, that welcomes guests with the fragrance of incense. Its hallmark is all-ocean-view guest rooms facing Ise Bay. On the 10th floor, the top floor, there is an open-air bath in the sky with an unobstructed view of the sea, where you can fully enjoy the natural hot spring called Minamichita Onsen, also known as fossil water from ancient times. At the compact sauna on the premises, you can sweat luxuriously while taking in the spectacular view. Although there is no cold plunge bath, outdoor air bathing in the sea breeze provides the ultimate relaxation. With Genji Monogatari-themed rooms and meals featuring fresh seafood from Ise Bay, it is an anniversary inn where you can spend a special day away from the bustle of everyday life.

An open-air bath in the sky on the 10th floor, where you can take in a panoramic view of Ise Bay all to yourself. Fed by the source waters of Minamichita Onsen, also called "ancient fossil water," it contains a rich range of beneficial minerals that warm you from the core. With the sunset reflected on the sea and an unobstructed view of unspoiled nature below, you can experience the liberating feeling of being above the clouds and the ultimate form of healing.

A spacious indoor bath with a sweeping view of a nostalgic Japanese landscape. In its calm space filled with the subtle fragrance of hinoki cypress, you can enjoy a leisurely soak without being affected by the wind. It has a different charm from the open-air bath, and you can stretch out your arms and legs and relax to your heart's content in the quiet.

A private open-air bath in a room with an open-air bath, where you can enjoy an exclusive view of Ise Bay changing with the passing time. Although it is not a natural hot spring, you can enjoy bathing as many times as you like at any time, while feeling the seasonal breeze. Together with the elegant flower petals and bath salts prepared as a special touch, you can spend a luxurious time undisturbed by anyone.

A sauna with views of Ise Bay that lets you relax without putting strain on your body. Soft light pours in through the windows, gently illuminating the room, while the subtle fragrance of hinoki cypress eases your heightened mood. The greatest appeal is the chance to sweat luxuriously while gazing at the spectacular view as the warmth slowly sinks deep into your body. Although there is no cold plunge bath, after leaving the sauna you can step straight out into the open-air area and enjoy an exquisite outdoor air bath while feeling the sea breeze all over your body.
