A luxurious onsen retreat that embodies the spirit of hospitality
With just eight guest rooms, Kaichoro is renowned for attentive service. Each room has a private open-air bath, which draws its waters from the famous shirogane no yu, or "silver water" of Ikaho Onsen. Enjoy views of the natural scenery from your room and your bath. Experience seamless hospitality honed over 400 years, with a modern sense of style. Meals are a highlight at Kaichoro, carefully prepared with local ingredients alongside seasonal specialties from around Japan, by the hotel's award-winning chef. Relax with a glass of exclusive champagne, along with international wines and sake. A range of treatments are offered at the full-service spa, and guests can use the public and private baths at sister hotel Fukuichi.
