🏨 Inn Hanaya Tokubei

Mount Ōmine, revered as the birthplace of Shugendō, is home to the hot spring town of Dōkawa, which boasts numerous inns and guesthouses. Among them, the oldest and most historic is "Yado Hanaya Tokubei." Established during the Muromachi period, it has welcomed countless practitioners of Shugendō from Mount Ōmine and has a long history of approximately 500 years, passed down through 17 generations. The traditional building, constructed using high-quality Yoshino timber, exudes a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of movies or period dramas. Just being in the space allows one to feel a deep sense of travel nostalgia. However, the inn offers more than just this charm. It features semi-open-air baths, private hot spring rooms, pure Japanese-style guest rooms with views of the hot spring town, and dishes made from abundant local ingredients, all reflecting the hospitality of the owners. A visit to this hidden historic inn is highly recommended to experience the true essence of travel that cannot be felt in urban hotels.

Dongchuan Hot Spring Village's oldest and most prestigious inn boasts a proud history of 500 years. The charm is evident in every aspect, including the space, hot springs, cuisine, and guest rooms. The hospitality of the 17th-generation operator is also a significant attraction.
