Takitei

An open-air rock bath with the refreshing sound of waterfalls, and a soap-free hot spring that leaves the skin silky smooth and moisturized

Ishikawa Kanazawa City

"Kawabata no Yuyado Takitei" is a long-established luxury hot spring ryokan in Suemachi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, standing on the banks of the Sai River. From the open-air rock bath in the large public bath, you can gaze at two waterfalls flowing right in front of you and enjoy a rustic bathing experience filled with the refreshing sound of cascading water and negative ions. The spring water is a mildly alkaline hot spring affectionately known as "tsurutsuru-yu," and it is highly regarded for its skin-beautifying benefits that leave the skin moist and smooth. Guest rooms include detached accommodations equipped with private open-air baths fed by natural hot spring water, as well as rooms with observation baths, allowing guests to savor a luxurious, distinctly Japanese escape that feels perfectly suited to the inner retreat of Kanazawa.
