A hot spring Accommodation where you can unwind with the flow of the Kuma River, surrounded by history and culture.

Founded in 1829 as an inn for the Sagara domain, Hitoyoshi Onsen Nabeya is a long-established Ryokan on the banks of the Kuma River, one of Japan’s three fastest-flowing rivers. From every guest room, enjoy views of the clear stream and the ruins of Hitoyoshi Castle, while our gentle natural Onsen helps you forget the bustle of everyday life. For dinner, we offer a French course that suits Japanese tastes and incorporates Japanese culinary techniques. Savor seasonal local ingredients and enjoy a truly relaxing stay.

  • "Spending New Year's relaxing in an Onsen" was my mother's long-held wish, as she was always busy taking care of the family during the holidays. We decided to visit "Nabeya," a place we had been to before and loved. Both the meals and the Onsen were just as wonderful as we had hoped. The two dinners were exceptional, and for breakfast during the New Year, they served traditional Osechi dishes and Ozoni soup, which delighted my mother immensely. She enjoyed it all so much. The wheelchair we borrowed made everything more convenient, and their thoughtful support was greatly appreciated. From the kind words of the proprietress to all of the staff's warmth, everything touched our hearts deeply. I feel grateful for being able to make my mother happy—it truly became a wonderful start to the year!

  • The facility has a great atmosphere, is very clean, and well-maintained. The staff were kind and provided excellent service, making our stay very satisfying. Since my mother has difficulty walking, we requested a room near the elevator, and they kindly accommodated us. We look forward to staying here again if we visit the area in the future.
