Nestled in the nature of Chichibu, Shingi Onsen is a hot spring inn with over 200 years of history. Its charm lies in the traditions passed down from the Edo period and the warm hospitality.
During the Edo period, there were seven hot spring areas in Chichibu, known as the 'Chichibu Shichiyu.' Shingi Onsen is one of the remaining three hot springs. It was founded in 1827 and has a history of thriving as a pilgrim's post town.
The imposing wooden architecture seems to transcend time and space. Passing through the open entrance, you are greeted by a corridor with deep character. The rooms are small 8-mat tatami rooms, but the exposed beams and sloping ceilings add to their charm.
The hot springs have indoor baths and small open-air baths. The specialty 'Tamago-mizu' has a refreshing aroma and a smooth touch. In the private baths, you can leisurely enjoy hot spring hopping in the quaint stone-built large bath.
The simple yet delicate cuisine, which makes the most of seasonal ingredients, has a heartwarming taste reminiscent of grandma's home cooking. The pleasant service of the staff adds to the warm, homely atmosphere. Forget the hustle and bustle of the city and relax in a truly hidden retreat in Chichibu.
