Introduction of the Accommodation
Natural Onsen drawn from a river inhabited by the most fireflies in Japan.
The gentle texture of the simple Onsen warms the body from deep within. Outside the window, a birch forest stretches out, with fireflies in summer and wildlife visiting in winter. The view from the footbath, available only in summer, offers a panoramic natural scenery. At night, you are surrounded by fireflies and stars. 【Source Name】Ishi no Yu Onsen 【Main Indications】 Rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, neuralgia, bruises, sprains, cold sensitivity, indigestion, mild hypertension, diabetes, fatigue recovery, health promotion, autonomic nervous instability, insomnia, depressive states, etc.
