Honke Bankyu Hot Spring Ryokan

  • A Riverside Onsen in a Secluded Mountain Hideaway

  • If you prefer intimate and cozy inns, why not consider "Honke Bankyu" in Yunishigawa Onsen? This inn is tucked away deep in the mountains in a place known as the "Hidden Village of the Heike Clan," offering a truly quiet and tranquil atmosphere. The onsen baths are located right alongside a mountain stream, allowing you to soak leisurely to the sound of the babbling water. You can completely escape the noise of the city and feel truly refreshed. Being in an environment where the only sounds are those of nature is a rare luxury, making it the perfect destination for a solo trip of quiet reflection.

  • A Heartwarming Local Meal Around the Traditional Irori Hearth

  • For a solo trip in a peaceful atmosphere, I recommend "Honke Bankyu." The inn's greatest charm is the experience of gathering around the irori—the traditional sunken hearth—to enjoy a local meal. The river fish grilled over crackling charcoal and the bounty of the local mountains are absolutely delicious. Even when dining alone, the warm, communal atmosphere is sure to put you at ease. It's the perfect choice for anyone looking for a rustic and heartwarming meal, rather than a luxurious, formal dinner. This unique dining experience, which you can only have here, will surely become a cherished memory of your trip.

  • Cross a Vine Bridge and Step Back in Time

  • If you're looking for a traditional inn in the Kinugawa area, "Yunishigawa Onsen Honke Bankyu" is a fantastic choice. This inn is steeped in history and tied to the legends of the fugitive Heike clan warriors. The most unique experience, which you truly won't find anywhere else, is crossing the inn's iconic 'Kazura-bashi'—a traditional vine suspension bridge—to reach the dining hall. It will make you feel as though you've wandered into the world of an ancient Japanese folktale. If you want to completely escape the everyday and immerse yourself in an atmosphere brimming with history and lore, this is the ultimate inn.

  • Relax in the natural murmur of a traditional Japanese hot spring

  • We recommend this 350-year-old long-established hot spring inn. You can enjoy the finest Wagyu beef on a hot stone in the traditional Japanese hearth cuisine. 100% natural hot spring water is used for the skin-beautifying bath in a rock bath, allowing you to relax in the bounty of nature. The guest rooms have a calm and relaxing atmosphere, allowing you to spend a quiet time.
