Kimono

Approx. 20 minutes drive from the hotel

The history of Tokamachi cloth stretches back more than 1,200 years, to some hemp cloth (Echigo-nuno) stored at Shōsōin, the treasure house of Tōdaiji Temple in Nara. Nurtured through centuries of history and tradition, this luxurious, high-quality hemp cloth is a product of the surpassing technique and devoted labor of generations past. Later, hemp weaving gave way to silk, affirming Tokamachi’s place in Japanese life and culture as a production center for woven goods.

At TakasanShoten in Tokamachi, you can enjoy shopping and try weaving silk by hand. (Please reserve at least a week in advance.)

ONSEN ONSEN ONSEN ONSEN

ONSEN

Japan’s geothermal hot springs (onsen) are famous worldwide.

Beloved by the Japanese people since ancient times, these hot-spring spas have evolved along with the nation’s culture, cleansing the body and delighting the spirit.

The qualities of the waters that gush up in these hot springs vary from one part of the country to another. Atema Onsen, the hot spring you can enjoy at the Hotel, is a simple hot spring, meaning that its waters contain less than 1,000 ppm of dissolved minerals. It is dark reddish-brown in color and alkaline, with a pH of 8.9.

We recommend treating yourself to a healing sensation by soaking in Bihada-no-Yu, a hot spring whose waters are gentle to the skin.
