Kawa-no-ryō Shikisai (川の寮 四季彩), the rooms with their own open-air bath

Only five of these special rooms, facing the Hida River with the railway bridge right in front — 'the tracks are before your eyes', a September 2023 blogger wrote of a 12-mat room. Japanese-style rooms have a ceramic tub big enough for two (a 2024 blogger loved watching trains from it); Western-style ones have a maki-wood tub and are barrier-free. The tub is for soaking only — wash in the room's unit bath or the large baths. From about ¥26,400 per person for two with dinner in a private room.

Rooms on the river and garden side, high up, or the Yugamine loft room for families

Bloggers on the upper floors watched the winter Saturday fireworks from their rooms in March 2026 (from an eighth-floor room, one noted lower floors see less), and the 15-mat two-room river-and-garden rooms suit families. The Yugamine loft room with bunk-style beds delighted children in July and September 2026 — though both families found the loft hot in summer. The three Sansuitei garden annexes (wooden open-air baths, renovated in May 2025) are smoking rooms unless you ask for deodorising.

Standard 8-mat rooms on the mountain/town side, and anyone sensitive to noise

These are the cheapest rooms and a common choice among 2026 reviewers; they're plain, and in October 2026 one family heard footsteps from the corridor and found the floor 'bouncy' in the room and bath. Trains run past the inn from early morning. Some rooms, including some of these, are smoking rooms — request deodorising (a July 2026 reviewer said it worked) or book a non-smoking type. Room fridges are empty and a December 2025 blogger found no comb in the amenities.
