The attraction is the hot springs
The Silk Bath "Kinu no Yu" is reminiscent of a traditional Japanese-style room. Just soaking in the bathtub and gazing at Lake Gosho and Mt. Iwate has a healing and relaxing effect.
You can enjoy the high-temperature, abundant hot spring water that has been gushing out of this area since the Heian period at Hitorijime no Yu, a spectacular hot spring that includes a silk bath called Kinu no Yu and an open-air bath called Hinoki no Yu.
The water that envelops your skin is a simple spring with a pH of 8.7 to 9.5, a highly alkaline component, and contains metasilicic acid, a natural moisturizing component, making it a skin-beautifying bath. The Silk Bath in particular is popular for its "microscopic bubbles that cleanse and smoothen the skin." The "Cypress Bath" has an infinity feel. You can also enjoy the strange sensation of the water flowing into Lake Gosho.
The other hot spring is a new spring source that the inn discovered. The spring quality is alkaline simple spring. The hideaway-like "Nambu Magariya no Yu" is a place where you can enjoy the luxurious flowing water. The open-air bath "Akamatsu no Yu" with its octagonal wooden roof feels like a hidden hot spring at night. The rustic atmosphere of the open-air bath "Oiwa no Yu" is also irresistible. Private open-air baths are also available.
Akamatsu no Yu is an open-air bath with a magnificent octagonal wooden roof inside Nanbu Magariya no Yu. You can enjoy a luxurious time in the bathhouse that gives you a taste of Iwate, with the natural hot spring water flowing freely from the source.
Be sure to head to the Lobby Lounge for a relaxing moment while taking in the view of Lake Gosho.
