20 Ryokan in Japan

A ryokan nestled in the serene village of Kurobe's Shimizu, Kiji Onsen Tanakaya. It is said that when Uesugi Kenshin became unable to walk due to beriberi, he cured his illness with the miraculous spring water that wells up in Kiji, as guided by the deity of Niihari Shrine. Our inn, sourced from that miraculous spring, has been operating as a small ryokan for therapeutic baths in Kiji, along the coast of Kurobe, since 1911. The approximately 5,000-tsubo garden, carefully nurtured by successive generations, surrounds the ryokan, allowing guests to fully enjoy the seasonal delicacies unique to Toyama and Kurobe cultivated by the beautiful water, and to soak in the hot springs while reflecting on its 110-year history. Though it is a modest, quiet, and small ryokan, we await your visit with heartfelt hospitality.

A long-established inn with over 100 years of history, preserving the hot spring source excavated in 1921. An onsen ryokan where you can enjoy a free private open-air bath, room-served meals in the morning and evening, and creative kaiseki cuisine featuring delicious Yamagata beef at Kaminoyama Onsen. For up to 3 guests, meals are served in your room, allowing for a private and intimate time.For groups of 4 or more, a private dining room will be provided. There is also a service allowing you to use one of the four private baths in the facility for 40 minutes per room per night, free of charge.
