A traditional Japanese Ryokan with luxurious natural hot springs and exquisite seafood cuisine, once a lodging for feudal lords.
A traditional Japanese Ryokan with a serene Japanese garden. Operating as a daimyo's headquarters since the late Edo period, guests can enjoy the natural flowing Onsen in a scenic bath. The garden features a majestic 100-year-old Himuro cedar tree, and guests staying in first-floor rooms can directly access the garden. Additionally, the prestigious suite, which has hosted various renowned figures, offers a special space complete with a private Onsen bath and a sofa room. The Ryokan takes pride in its fresh seafood dishes, prepared with ingredients directly sourced from the sea by a chef who has been awarded the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Prize.
We stayed as a family of three with our one-year-old son.We were impressed by the thoughtful care for children, the delicious meals, and the excellent quality of the hot spring water.It was a wonderful Accommodation that we would definitely like to stay at again.

Introduction of the Accommodation
Our proud Japanese garden
Outside on the first floor, you will find our pride and joy: a traditional Japanese garden. This is one of the treasures we have carefully nurtured over the years, along with the history of our Property as a "Hatago" (traditional inn). The name of our Property, "Shouhaku," refers to auspicious evergreen coniferous trees, and in the garden stands a majestic Himuro cedar tree that is well over 100 years old. During your stay, we invite you to step into the garden and enjoy the seasonal breeze. Additionally, guests staying in the first-floor rooms can access the garden directly, offering a sense of having your own private garden.
The entrance of Shouhakukan, carrying the elegance and charm of its role as a honjin since the Edo period. Be welcomed by its 300-year history and step into an extraordinary world from here. We hope you enjoy the pure Japanese architectural beauty rarely seen in modern times.
Step into the lobby, and you will find yourself in an open and elegant space. Our Ryokan prioritizes the true essence of relaxation, so you will not find extravagant decorations inside or outside the premises. Enjoy a moment of peace and rejuvenation in a timeless atmosphere reminiscent of the "Hatago" era.
At the back of the lobby, there is a salon where you can relax freely. The historical and romantic interior, reminiscent of the Rokumeikan era, invites you into an extraordinary world and enhances your travel experience. You can also order beverages in the salon, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely and elegant tea time.
