About
Houshi Onsen Chojukan offers a hidden bath set along a stream running through the bountiful deep mountain greenery, where this famous spring once popular amongst intellectual poet-painters (bunjin) of yore continues its 140-year tradition of excellence. The ryokan's three distinctive baths, rotated between genders throughout the day, include a spectacular outdoor onsen that creates magical bathing experiences amid natural splendor, particularly enchanting during winter snowfall. From the ample traditional Japanese accommodations to the delicious multi-course meals featuring regional specialties like horse and deer sashimi, every aspect of this historic establishment reflects a deep connection to nature and cultural heritage, creating an immersive experience where guests can disconnect from modern concerns while soaking in carbonated waters that bubble over the skin, cleansing all pores in this rustic mountain sanctuary.
