Overview

5-star hot spring ryokan with a 1300-year Guinness World Record legacy in Hayakawa

Historic Legacy

Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest continuously operating hot spring ryokan, with a history dating back to 705 AD. Over 1300 years, this ryokan has hosted emperors, shoguns, and daimyos. The current building, a four-storey wooden structure, preserves the traditional ryokan aesthetic while offering modern comforts.

Rooms & Baths

All rooms at Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan provide individual natural hot spring baths, with water sourced directly from the onsen. The Japanese-Style Suite Room with Hinoki Bath offers a traditional tatami space and a private cypress wood bath. Guests can also enjoy river views and the Japanese garden from their suites, with flat-screen TVs and fridges included.

Dining

On-site dining at Keiunkan features locally sourced ingredients, including A5 rank Koshu beef prepared by an award-winning chef. Multi-course kaiseki dinners and Asian breakfasts are served in private dining rooms assigned to each room. The menu changes seasonally, highlighting produce from the Minami Alps region.

Wellness & Hot Springs

The ryokan offers six onsen baths in total: two outdoor, two indoor, and two private baths that can be reserved. Guests can use the sauna and the on-site spa for additional relaxation treatments. The natural hot spring water is free-flowing and rich in minerals, with the source located on the property.
