A green oasis in Ikaho Onsen
This elegant inn overlooking Mt. Haruna is set amongst lush greenery, and is just a 15-minute walk from Ikaho Ropeway. Guests can choose from a range of rooms in traditional or modern Japanese style, some with private open-air baths. Guests can stroll the expansive gardens, unwind with drinks at the lobby lounge, or book a massage at the spa. The inn’s restaurant Hanahibiki serves Japanese cuisine using local ingredients, paired with local sake.
Guests can try Ikaho Onsen’s famous “golden water” Kogane no Yu, and “silver water” Shirogane no Yu, along with a large public bath, Tamayura no Yu. Several smaller onsen baths can be reserved for private use.
