PRESERVE Selected

The oldest and most storied inn of Nyuto Onsen, an Edo-period mountain spa (~350 years) whose thatched 'honjin' lodging, once for the Akita lord's retinue, is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property. Irori dinners and milk-white open-air baths.

The iconic image of Japan's hito movement — a pilgrimage for serious onsen lovers, deliberately rustic and far from any tourist-hotel polish.
