The 'KAI' bath has an infrared sauna installed, while the SANKEI features a mist sauna, allowing you to chill out while enjoying the fresh hot springs. The inn also provides a large communal bath with open air facilities through the Sadasuke sister inn, which is adjacent to ICHIJO.If you're looking to heal both body and heart, why not try the meditation room?   Smoothie and soup shop 'mellow' will be opening at the same time as ICHIJO. Guests staying at the inn will be able to purchase food and drink from inside the store, while general customers can use the takeout window. The delicious fruit and vegetables used in the food were grown in the San'in region by Saika, who are experienced in agriculture production. Relax your body and soul with the new ICHIJO inn!
