It is a unique inn which has an impressive matsuri-kan (festival hall) replicating food stalls from the Chichibu Yomatsuri (the Chichibu Night festival). Guests can enjoy not only an open-air cypress bath and a large bath, but also book a private open-air bath for a fee. Meals served as guests gather and sit around the irori (Japanese traditional fireplace) include natural delicacies special to the mountain village.
This is an inn that is familiar to many from old times as a main hub for pilgrims who are on a pilgrimage. Facing the Yokose River, a tributary of the Arakawa River, this inn is popular as a hotel. The hot spring is said to be effective against conditons such as shoulder stiffness and rheumatism.
