Located right at the center of the hot spring district, guests staying at Shomian Yamakawa can enjoy a pleasant walk to the nearby Omono River where fireflies flicker at the beginning of summer.
This authentic Japanese-style inn comes complete with a relaxing lobby, souvenir shop, bar, large communal bath with an abundant supply of hot spring water, a fountain bath, and an open-air bath where guests can taste the spring.
For dinner, savor seasonal local dishes prepared with mainly mountain ingredients. Hot spring porridge and imoni (thick potato and meat soup) are among the many popular breakfast dishes here.
