Ryokan Naniwakan Tamba/Sasayama Kagobo Onsen

Naniwakan sits in Kago-bo Onsen, among the wooded slopes and valley scenery of the Hazuka River near Tanba Sasayama. Eight rooms keep the accommodation small, with the surrounding greenery and seasonal change providing the principal atmosphere.

The spring is an iron-bearing carbonated mineral water. Communal and family bathing facilities allow guests to settle into a simple bath-centered stay, while the quieter valley setting encourages time spent at the inn itself.

Meals are served in a private space or shared hall according to arrangements. Naniwakan will suit travelers looking for an understated rural stop with mineral bathing and traditional meal service. Its attraction lies in the landscape and intimate scale, so guests should approach it with an appreciation for a modest countryside lodging.
