Nestled in the mountains of Chichibu, the small hot spring inn "Yanagiya" is a little-known spot where you can experience the rich atmosphere of Natsukoshi, reminiscent of Nasu. Although the exterior has the appearance of a bygone era, warm hospitality and local flavors welcome travelers.
The specialty of the inn is the proprietress's handmade soba. The firm texture that brings out the flavor of the wheat, combined with the homemade broth, adds an exquisite depth of flavor. The hot pot dishes with wild boar and mountain vegetables also allow you to savor the seasonal richness.
The compact hinoki cypress bath gently warms the body with its amber-colored hot water. In the semi-open-air bath in the inner garden, you can fully enjoy a moment of relaxation amidst the seasonal scenery and clear air. Since the inn itself is a renovated old folk house, its deep sense of time promises a profound rest.
The inn is located in a quiet area about 15 minutes by car from Chichibu Station. Surrounded by the majestic Chichibu mountains, it's an ideal location to leisurely savor the travel atmosphere. It's also recommended to enjoy strolling and hiking.
Why not experience the warm hospitality of traditional Japan, wrapped in the tranquil charm of the Satoyama? Yanagiya awaits with unforgettable experiences for your journey.
