Description
Laid-back Family-run Japanese Onsen Inn
Ebisuso Ryokan is a hot spring Japanese style inn located in Totsukawa Onsen in Nara Prefecture. It is a family run establishment hosting guests for over 40 years. The verdant garden and lantern in the entrance is a landmark in the narrow streets of this mountain settlement overlooking a man-made lake. Totsukawa Onsen is located along the Kumano Kodo Kohechi pilgrimage route between Hatenashi-toge pass and Miura-toge pass.
Totsukawa Onsen is famous for its high-quality non-circulating mineral water baths, and Ebisuso is no exception. Soaking in the roof-top outdoor bath is a highlight for many guests.
Supper is focused on locally produced vegetables served with many duck and chicken in a “nabe” or hot pot style dish. Breakfast also highlights locally catch fish and homemade dishes. Delicious!

: Included : Not Included
Type A Type B Type C Type D Type E Vegetarianism is not common in the Japanese countryside. Please double-check the Vegetarian Type which the service provider can accommodate to make sure that it meets your needs. Often being able to eat trace amounts of the ubiquitous Katsuo Dashi (fish stock) makes it easier to find options.
More Information
NOTE: It is difficult and not culturally sensitive to change meal requests, or make new meal demands, onsite when you arrive at accommodations. Vegetarian types must be confirmed during the reservation process and respected during your visit.
