Kanon: A Ryokan with All-Detached Guest Rooms

Along the Hoki River in Nasushiobara, Tochigi, Shiobara Onsen feels like a quiet retreat built around water and time. For a special stay in this traditional onsen town with a 1,200-year history, “Kanon: A Ryokan with All-Detached Guest Rooms” is a great choice. All 10 rooms come with a private open-air bath with free-flowing natural hot spring water and views of the Hoki River. In a private, all-detached setting, you can enjoy these renowned historic waters all to yourself.

There are four room types, from scenic rooms with a terrace and hammock to special suites with a private garden, each designed for a luxurious, relaxing stay. From every room, you’ll look out over beautiful satoyama scenery that shifts with the seasons and time of day. In addition to the open-air bath in your room, there’s also a spacious public bath where you can soak in a more open, laid-back atmosphere.

Meals are served in a standalone dining building, offering kaiseki cuisine that makes generous use of mountain and sea ingredients. Made with fresh, source-direct ingredients, each dish is served at its best, with careful attention not only to flavor but also to presentation and tableware.
