A renowned Onsen praised by Sei Shonagon, healing both mind and body.

Sakakibara Onsen is located amidst the traditional rural landscapes of Japan, surrounded by satoyama, rice fields, and rivers. Locally known as "Miya no Yu," it is a historic Onsen where people are said to have purified themselves before visiting the shrine. Praised as a "famous spring" by the renowned Sei Shonagon, Sakakibara Onsen has been celebrated in many poems as a healing hot spring for love ailments. Even today, Sakakibara Onsen is cherished by many as a place to soothe both the mind and body. We warmly invite you to experience the renowned Onsen, endorsed by Sei Shonagon, along with our heartfelt hospitality.

  • A long-established Onsen Ryokan It has a nostalgic Showa-era feel. Although there was no information about the Onsen water quality in the bath area, it left my skin smooth and felt great. The Room has been nicely renovated and is very clean! The meals are average, but the rice is delicious.

  • I stayed with a No Meals Included plan. The building has an overall old feel, but it is not dirty at all and has a nice atmosphere. The Onsen makes your skin incredibly smooth! It’s so smooth that you might wonder if the body soap is fully rinsed off—amazing! The quality of the spring water is truly excellent. There isn’t an Onsen town nearby, so it’s quiet, but I think they could promote the Onsen more. Since there are several Ryokans nearby, it would be fun if there were a system like some other Onsens where you can use a bath pass to enjoy baths at any Ryokan in the area. Just an idea! It’s really close to Hisai IC, so I hope more people get to know about this place.

In ancient times, the talented Sei Shonagon wrote in "The Pillow Book," "The hot springs are the Natsukuri no Yu..." indicating that the Onsen of Sakakibara has been cherished by people throughout the ages. It is especially known for its benefits for women's beauty, making it easy to understand why Sei Shonagon herself loved it. Locally, it has also been referred to as "Miya no Yu." This historic Onsen is said to have been a place where people purified themselves before heading to the shrine. We invite you to experience "Yugori" here and then visit Ise Jingu. After your "Yugori" experience, you might even receive blessings from the gods.
