Didn’t get the QR?About the stay
What you can do here
- Soak in free-flowing spring water as often as you like
- Lock the door and enjoy the private bath
- Have a jigoku-steam kaiseki dinner in your room
- Stroll the steaming town in a yukata
From the host
Do try walking through the steam in your yukata. On the slope in the early evening, the smell of the hot spring is at its strongest. At the front desk we will also show you how to use the communal baths.
Why this place supports social causes
Kannawa has a number of communal baths that local residents have kept clean and looked after. Our staff take turns on the cleaning rota too, and we explain the rules and etiquette of the communal baths to our guests. We want visitors and locals to be able to keep sharing the town's baths together.
From the place
Because we are an inn that wants to pass on this tōji bathing town and its communal baths to the next generation. More guests staying here helps to look after the town's baths.
What makes this stay special
Free-flowing spring water
From the source in our grounds straight into the baths, with no heating and no recirculation. We adjust the heat with spring water.
Jigoku-steam kaiseki
Vegetables steamed in the spring's own vapour, and fish from the Bungo Channel. Served fresh from the kitchen, in your room or the dining room.
Menus adjusted for allergies
Let us know when you book, and we will swap dishes for you.
