RyumonteiChibaRyokan

An exquisite inn where you can enjoy a 150-plus-year-old beautiful garden and two private hot spring sources

Akita Kazuno City

"Ryumontei Chiba Ryokan" is a long-established hot spring ryokan nestled in Oyu Onsenkyo in Kazuno, Akita Prefecture. Its pride and joy is a beautifully maintained Japanese garden, a hallmark of the inn since its founding, which is illuminated at night in a dreamlike glow. The bathhouse has two large public baths, "Ki" and "Rei," with alternating access for men and women. Within the property, it draws from two different private hot spring sources, allowing guests to indulge in a luxurious bath-hopping experience across four distinct baths: a silky, colorless indoor bath and a rustic open-air bath with free-flowing natural spring water and a faint sulfur fragrance.

Hot Spring & Bath Information

Large Public Bath Ki

TypeNatural Hot Spring

A spacious large public bath available with alternating access for men and women. The indoor bath draws from Oyu Onsen, which is colorless, odorless, and silky with a very gentle feel on the skin, making it easy to stretch out and relax as you ease away your fatigue. Through the large glass windows, you can look out over the inn's proud Japanese garden, which carries on the history of the property through the changing seasons.

Open-Air Bath Ki

TypeNatural Hot Spring

Flow-through

A rustic open-air bath adjoining the large public bath Ki, with free-flowing natural spring water. It is fed by the new source Kaminoyu, which contains sulfur and salt content different from the indoor bath, and a pleasantly faint sulfur aroma drifts through the air. With natural stones arranged throughout the space and a beautiful sense of harmony with the illuminated Japanese garden, you can fully enjoy this mellow and warming therapeutic bath.

Large Public Bath Rei

TypeNatural Hot Spring

A refined large public bath where you can feel the warmth of wood such as cypress. The indoor bath uses a simple hot spring with a silky, clear, and gentle feel on the skin. At night, you can admire the beautifully lit Japanese garden, and in the morning, the refreshing sunlight streaming into the garden, while deeply savoring the blessings of the famous Oyu Onsen.

Open-Air Bath Rei

TypeNatural Hot Spring

Flow-through

A liberating open-air bath with free-flowing natural spring water that continues from the large public bath Rei. It uses a new source rich in salt, with a faint sweet sulfur aroma. When you soak in the water, you can feel its high heat-retaining quality clinging to your skin, making it hard to cool down afterward. You can spend a luxurious time that feels as if you are blending into nature itself, taking in the dreamlike beauty of the garden up close and listening to the sound of the wind.
