The oldest inn in Dogo, a few minutes on foot from the Honkan, with two bathhouses on 100% undiluted source water, each with its own open-air bath and sauna in the riverside garden. Day visitors are accepted, but the inn publishes bathhouse hours rather than day-visitor reception times, so phone before turning up.
