ROOMS

A TRANQUIL RETREAT
The main building and the annex are set a short distance away from the bustle of the main street and are connected by an underground passage. The purely Japanese architecture of the rooms have a quiet and zen like atmosphere leaving guests feeling fully relaxed.
Annex: Traditional japanese - Japanese western
The annex building features japanese style rooms with private toilet (equipped with an electronic bidet, "washlet" ) and a sink. The rooms look out onto a Japanese garden for an even more traditional feel.
There are also japanese western rooms with twin beds.
Main building: Traditional japanese
“Washitsu”, or traditional japanese style rooms do not include private toilet; they are all tatami rooms.They feature sliding doors and futon, some architectural or interior points that you cannot find overseas.
The portraits of kind smiling stone Ksitigarbha (a bodhisattva who looks over travelers and children)drawn by the late in master - with the hope that all who saw the portraits would find solace and be uplifted from any trouble they may have- decorate various parts of the building and rooms.

ONSEN

HOT SPRING WELLNESS
“Onsen” are the country’s hot spring and the bathing facilities, traditional inns around them. They come from the many volcanoes scaterred throughout the country. Hot water, mineral water and water vapor gushing from underground define them. Perfect for relaxing and healing, we recommend both private and public baths for a complete Tsubakino experience.
Private baths
"Sarasa-no-Yu"
The first of its kind in Kinosaki, micro sized bubbles fill the bath giving it a milky color. The oxygen rich bubbles sweep down into the pores, pushing out any dirt and oil, leaving the skin feeling smooth and velvety. A very popular choice with our female guests wishing to feel a little extra pampered.
"Kazahana-no-Yu"
The other private bath with an open air wood deck allows refreshing breeze in and has a view onto Higashiyama park. You can appreciate the warmth of this japanese style bath as the hot spring water brings out the delicate fragrance of the Japanese cypress.
Both private baths need reservation in advance.
Public baths
"Chyoraku".
Located within Tsubakino are two japanese style hot spring baths. The first one is called "Chyoraku" and has an open-air bath with jacuzzi.
"Kouchyou"
The second one, "Kouchyou", has a wooden bath made of Japanese cypress and has a view on a small Japanese garden.The baths are separated, one bath for men and the other for women.
The bath assignments switch in the morning.
