Okamotoya岡本屋 · おかもとや
Okamotoya is a ryokan in Myoban Onsen, founded in 1875. Its acidic sulphur spring flows naturally from the source and is used 100% free-flowing, with open-air and indoor baths for both men and women and three rooms that have their own hot-spring bath. Dinner and breakfast are served at tables in the dining room; it is about a 1-minute walk from the Myoban bus stop, and the inn does not offer day-use bathing.
