The small hot spring inn 'Tsukushikan' is located a short walk from the Atagawa hot spring town. This small inn, run by a couple, is impressive. Its greatest charm lies in the coastal location where you can hear the sound of the waves and enjoy the famous hot springs of Atagawa.
Upon entering, you will be captivated by the unique masks lined up on the wall. This interior, reflecting the husband's hobby, exudes a unique atmosphere. The dining table is made of old, large trees, creating a luxurious space enveloped in the warmth of wood.
Dinner offers handmade dishes that make use of seasonal local ingredients. While the variety is not extensive, each dish is exquisitely seasoned, allowing you to enjoy a simple yet deep flavor. The service is unpretentious, making you feel like you have come to visit a friend's house in the countryside.
The private baths where you can enjoy the Atagawa hot spring are filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere. If you put in too much water, it will be too hot, but that's also the charm. While it requires some temperature adjustment, you will be able to relax and relieve your daily fatigue as you leisurely bathe.
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and savor the deeply charming old folk house in a space that seems to have stopped time. For those it suits, it will be an experience that cannot be repeated. Please be careful if you are not good with insects, but if you can overcome this inconvenience, rich moments await.
