Matsunoi is located at the source of the Tone River, overlooking Mt. Tanigawa, and is a popular inn where you can enjoy the "spring waters" of four hot springs.
The hot spring is a superbly matured hot spring that has permeated the ancient limestone strata over many years and has been slowly matured by geothermal heat. At the inn, the hot spring is poured as "spring water" from the bottom of the two large baths, three open-air baths, and five private baths, so as not to expose the source to air. It is a raw hot spring with no added water. Both "mature hot spring" and "raw hot spring" are names unique to the inn and are registered trademarks.

With reliable ingredients and reliable skills, they prepare reliable deliciousness.
For example, the "natural bluefin tuna sushi" delivered directly from Toyosu Market is absolutely delicious. It is a delicacy that can be said to be the symbol of Matsunoi cuisine and is extremely popular.
The buffet hall was renovated in 2021, and the counter-style stage kitchen allows you to enjoy freshly prepared dishes by Japanese, Western, and Chinese chefs in a live setting. The wide variety of dishes on the menu is also appealing.
Delivered directly from Toyosu Market, this restaurant serves up unique, authentic "wild bluefin tuna" sushi made with care and attention.
