This intimate, adults-only hideaway—reopened in April 2026 with just 11 guest rooms—draws its concept from the famous "Three Cups of Tea" anecdote involving the historical figure Ishida Mitsunari, allowing guests to experience the charm of the region's history.
Guest rooms feature private hiba cypress indoor baths and Shigaraki-ware open-air baths, while dinner showcases dishes made with local ingredients paired with Shiga’s local sake.
On the way to the inn, the journey takes in Mount Shizugatake (offering panoramic views of Lake Biwa and Lake Yogo), Samegai-juku (known for its clear streams and preserved traditional townscape), and Kinomoto-juku (retaining the atmosphere of the old Hokkoku Kaido road).
A trip to discover the lesser-known charms of the Kohoku region in Shiga.
