Healing hot spring inn Ryuga Onsen

Ryuga Onsen is a six-room inn in the countryside of Kami, near Ryugado cave. The scale is small enough for the surrounding fields and open sky to remain part of the experience, with a quieter atmosphere than a city hotel.

The kitchen looks to Tosa’s regional cooking and local sake. A meal-inclusive stay is the most natural way to explore that side of the inn, with dinner served in a dining space. The exact dishes follow the season rather than a single permanent menu.

Communal baths use alkaline spring water that is heated and circulated. The building has no elevator, and the property publishes restrictions on tattooed bathers, so guests affected by either condition should discuss their plans before reserving. Ryuga is best chosen for its small scale, regional meals and position close to the cave and the wider Kami countryside.
