Enjoy Japanese architecture and a cypress bath with natural hot springs.
A traditional Japanese house, originally built as a villa in the early Showa period, has been renovated to maintain its Japanese architectural charm adding comfort as accommodation. It has been reborn as a whole-house rental Japanese-style lodging, blending the past and present.
Indulge yourself in the ambiance of traditional Japanese architecture, which is challenging to replicate nowadays, and soothe your soul with the natural hot spring water flowing through the entire building, made entirely of Japanese cypress.
With only one group per day (up to 7 guests) allowed, you can relax with your family or friends without any hesitation.
Located in the center of Shirahama, this is one of the few whole-house rental accommodations with a traditional Japanese garden. Enjoy a tranquil and leisurely time here, both physically and mentally.
100% natural hot springs and open-air baths available 24 hours a day
“Shirahama Onsen” is one of Japan’s three oldest hot springs, along with Arima and Dogo, and has been loved as a spa since ancient times for its quality of hot springs that are good for the skin and body. The hot springs at our facility draw the Onsen directly from “Miyuki no Yu”, which is the oldest and most famous hot spring in Shirahama.
You can directly feel the effects of the Onsen flowing directly from the source, and it maintains its cleanliness. You can use the “natural hot spring” that does not require adding water or heating at any time during your stay.
The bathtub, walls, ceiling, and floor are made of cypress. Please relax your mind and body. You can also use the hot spring water in the open-air bath, so please use it as an open-air hot spring or cold bath. Guests staying multiple nights can also use the sauna (far infrared rays).
