Seseragi no Yado Gokabashi Chichibu

This hot spring inn is located on a rise overlooking the Chichibu City district, offering beautiful seasonal scenery to enjoy.

This single-house inn sits high in the mountains, encircled by deciduous trees and the sounds of seasonal birdsong. Located in a forest near the Terasaka Rice Terrace, this inn has been well-loved since its establishment for its “Yakusō-no-yu" (medicinal herb bath). The pride of the lodge is the medicinal herb bath which contains chameleon plant and Japanese mugwort, which improve blood circulation and warm the body to its core. One can expect relief from fatigue and improved skin.

Created from a renovated old private residence, this complex stands on the road leading to Chichibu Shrine. Filled with Showa Retro style, the facility boasts a collection of establishments, including an Italian restaurant serving organic fare, a bar with 20 different beers always on tap and a private accommodation blending retro and modern styles, all built to create a place that attracts visitors and encourages organic connections.

Boasting multiple awards from travel reservation sites, Wado is the perfect choice when traveling to Chichibu!

In the Dohyō Rotenburo (sumo ring open-air bath) modeled after the Ryōgoku Kokugikan (Sumo Arena), visitors can hear the singing of birds in spring and the chirping of insects in summer. Look up at the night sky, and you’ll see a sky full of stars! Experience the nature of Chichibu as you soak in the hot spring.
