Bath-Proud Inn Kanto Part 3
The three main elements of a ryokan or hotel are facilities, food, and service. In addition to these, what makes a Japanese inn many times more appealing are the hot springs and baths.
In the coming season, soaking in a famous hot spring will relax your mind and body and set you up for a good year. In this 13th installment, we will introduce accommodations in Chiba Prefecture as part of "Bath-Proud Inns: Kanto Edition 3."
Bath-Proud Inn Kanto Part 3
Enjoy the beauty baths in an ocean view room
Guest room with semi-open-air bath
Nakaya Inn, located in Amatsukominato Onsen, Amatsu kominato Onsen Village, Chiba Prefecture, was founded during the Tenpo era of the Edo period. Located along the coast near the tip of the Boso Peninsula, it offers a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean, and guests can enjoy the natural hot spring water, "Kinosaki's Source Spring Water," which flows directly from the source on the premises.
The free-flowing hot spring water is popular among women for its skin-beautifying properties. The spring water contains sodium chloride, sulfate, bicarbonate, and cold mineral salts (hypotonic and alkaline), and is effective for neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, frozen shoulder, and motor paralysis. You can enjoy the beauty baths in the large public baths "Kinosaki-no-Yu" and "Kakai-no-Yu," as well as the open-air bath and the private open-air bath "Hamachidori."
All rooms have ocean views.
In recent years, the inn has undergone large-scale renovations, including renovating the floors. 12 special rooms with open-air baths made of special ceramic tubs have been newly built. The special rooms also use on-site hot spring water, and three of these rooms have free-flowing hot spring water. The appeal is that you can enjoy the first bath every time.
