With over 120 years of history, this inn in Higashi Naruko Onsen has been a healing retreat since its establishment in the Edo period. Known for its superior hot spring quality, the area has long been renowned as a therapeutic onsen destination.

The inn offers seven types of indoor baths, including a mixed-gender main bath (with women-only hours), a medicinal stone bath, and a foot bath – all featuring 100% natural flowing hot spring water. Particularly popular is the private open-air bath, "Mori no Yu," nestled in the mountains about a 10-minute walk from the inn, where guests can enjoy a soak surrounded by the beauty of the changing seasons. The inn also promotes "Slow Onsen," a modern approach to onsen therapy designed to relieve daily fatigue and stress. This includes meal-inclusive "Asyl Plans" for stays of two nights or longer.

Warm wooden interiors characterize the rooms, available in six types spread across the main building and the Tojikan Building (therapeutic annex). Guests can choose between traditional tatami-style rooms and bed-equipped options for added comfort. Dinner highlights local flavors such as Sendai beef and beef tongue in a course-style meal. For health-conscious diners, options like homemade medicinal hot pot, brown rice, and multigrain rice offer a nourishing and wholesome experience.
