Tada Onsen Hakuryukan

Hakuryukan began in 1916 and remains a fourteen-room Japanese inn near Masuda. Tatami rooms range from six to twenty mats, giving the property flexibility for couples and larger groups while retaining a straightforward traditional character.

Seasonal meals provide a regional dinner without overshadowing the bath. The inn’s history and manageable scale support a hospitable, conventional stay rather than a highly stylized one.

The natural spring emerged from an old mine shaft and carries unusually acidic, iron-rich water with a distinctive tea color. Communal, source-water, and outdoor baths present that character clearly. Hakuryukan is best for travelers interested in unusual mineral water and a long-running local inn, with food and rooms serving as solid companions.
