The facility was opened in a natural forest spread on the banks of the Kinu River on the outskirts of Shimotsuma City. It sells local beer and fresh local vegetables in the lobby shop, mainly in one-day hot spring facilities, and in the accommodation building with 19 rooms. The bathhouse is followed by a whirlpool or bubble bath, a sleeping bath, a large bathhouse with a sauna, and an open-air bath with a Tōya-style roof outside. The two large baths are a daily change of gender. There is also a large hall of 100 tatami mats after taking a bath, so it's okay for a group.

Daiho Hachiman Palace

It was the beginning of the first year of Taiho (701) when Fujiwara Tokitada-ko founded the Usa Shrine in Chikushi (now Oita Prefecture). It is alleged that Hirashomen also visited frequently for the sake of fighting victory, and that Minamoto no Yoritomo invited the Tsurugaoka Hachiminomiya Wakamiya in Kamakura on the day of the Oshu Conjugation Pingding to create the seisha Wakamiya Hachimangomiya. The main shrine of the Taiho Hachiman Palace, which is designated as a national important cultural treasure, was rebuilt during the Azuchi-Momoyama period and has a stout and calm appearance. The precinct is also the site of the Taiho Castle, which dates from the Heian period to the North and South Dynasties, and has become a national historical site. The treasure hall displays the Ibaraki Prefecture-designated cultural property, ancient stone tools, and swords.

Hongkei Temple

The year of Oei 21 (1414) is a famous temple of the Jodo sect, reportedly as the Genjon. A great deal of donation was made by the Tokugawa family to rebuild the main hall and bell tower (currently under reconstruction facilities and cannot be seen), from where they were deeply devoted to the tenth-generation Ryokujinjin, and established it as a bodhi-ji temple. The main hall, which is the best of the temple architecture of the early Edo period, is renovated in 2007. You can feel the power of the Tokugawa shogunate in the Buddhist tools and furnishings. On the left side of the main hall is the tomb of Chihime.

Shomei Temple

A temple of the Jōdo Shinshu Hongan-ji school. The first generation of the Seiki family, Asamitsu, who also participated in the shogunate as a sensei crowd, invited the younger brother of the clan, Shinbutsu, to open. It is said that the name of the temple, the name of the temple, is derived from the name of the law that Asamitsu came to the house and gave it to him. It holds a number of cultural treasures, including the "Shōjo Kanashu", which is said to be the autograph of Kinji, as well as portraits and wooden statues of the morning light, the Mireya Gate, and the Nijomon. At the back of the precinct, where there is a large ginkgo tree and a bronze statue of the saint, there are tombs ranging from the first morning light to the fourth generation Tokihiro.

Private Gardens
