The hot water of Yamanaka was praised by Matsuo Basho (a famous composer of Japanese Haiku) . The great features of the hot spring are its clearness and softness. You can enjoy the scenery of Kakusenkei in all seasons, and a rich quantity of hot water.
Kakusenkei changes its aspects from morning to evening like a moving landscape painting. Please relax and watch the nature of the season and listen to the sound of the clean stream.
Seamen aboard kitamae boats loved Yamanaka where not only land-based foodstuffs but also marine foodstuffs were abundantly available. Please enjoy our flavorful dishes made from seasonal and quality fresh foods.
Once upon a time, the fee for bathing ( and fee for staying overnight ) was paid in rice. There were many straw rice bags ( Tamara ) piled up in the entrance of the hotel, which inspired the name "Tawaraya".
