Please spend an elegant time while watching the refreshing morning sun and looking at the starry sky at night. May you find your own wonderful story in this beautiful scene. Please enjoy the hot springs that heal the tiredness of long trips, the deliciousness of Yamami, and the hospitality that inherits Japanese inn culture to your heart's content.

This old hot spring inn has been renovated. Although meals are not provided, please feel as if you are back home. The rooms are only on the second floor. (Use the stairs.) You can use the inn as a base to visit Shiretoko, Akan, and other places! It is a 20-minute walk from JR Mashu Station, but the roads are slippery, so we recommend taking a taxi. Opening hours: 8am to 8pm
