Scent of Hot Spring Recalls to the Village of Historic Relics

An originally existing hot spring institution here was recently reborn as Saku-no-yu. Just nearby this hotel are the ancient remains of the "Hotta-no-Saku" fort. It is thought to be an ancient government office with administration and military functions and has about a 1200 year history. Moreover, there are traditional buildings and a museum of history, etc. You can feel the long history in this area.

Bright and spacious large bath
Saku-no-yu external appearance

There are 5 Japanese-style and 5 Western-style guest rooms. The bright Western-style rooms have a country tone, in contrast with the Japanese-style room which uses lots of lumber. They are gaining popularity with young female guests. There are a large hall, a medium hall and a dining room. The large hall can be used as a resting room when there are no meetings.

Other than large baths, open-air baths, a sauna and a jet bath, there is also a barrier-free special bath (reservations needed) for the handicapped. Although the headspring is new, it is very good quality and warms well.
