Tochiomata Onsen Jizaikan
A popular inn offering therapeutic stays, featuring healing hot springs and homely meals for ultimate relaxation.
Nestled in the historic Tochiomata Onsen, which has thrived as a healing retreat since its opening in the 8th century, Jizaikan offers a serene getaway.
The onsen features natural radium hot springs, rich in radon, renowned for their therapeutic properties and often called "The Healing Waters of All Ailments." Guests can enjoy these restorative waters in their purest form through a constant free-flowing source.
The main bathhouse, Reisen no Yu, is a shared facility among the three inns in Tochiomata Onsen. This spacious bath, with its approximately 35°C naturally heated water, stimulates the autonomic nervous system, encouraging deep relaxation through prolonged soaking. For those preferring warmer baths, the inn offers a scenic open-air bath and private family baths, each available 24 hours a day with 40-minute private-use sessions.
Guest rooms are minimalist and comfortable, featuring either Japanese-style or Japanese-Western-style accommodations with views of the surrounding nature. Futons are laid out in advance, allowing guests to unwind the moment they check in.
Meals are homely and nourishing, with dinners featuring the local "Ichiju-Yonsai" style—simple yet satisfying dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. Many visitors choose Jizaikan for modern healing retreats, extending their stays to soak multiple times a day and restore balance to their body and mind through this therapeutic practice.
