The Secrets of Onsen

Visiting the Chichibu Pilgrimage Sites in the ONSEN CHICHIBU, Vol.7

【Let your heart unwind with the warmth of the hearth fire and the renowned hot springs. Enjoy a moment of spiritual healing amidst the scenes of old-world Japan.】

It is located quite close to Kannon-in Temple (Chichibu Pilgrimage Site No. 31).
“Ojika-so” is a traditional inn with a hearth that stands as if blending seamlessly into the secluded heart of Chichibu, truly preserving the “original landscape of Chichibu” for today.♨️

━━━ ♨️ Our Commitment to Onsen ━━━
We take pride in the soothing waters of the “Dairyuji Spring,” which is highly regarded even within the Chichibu Hot Spring Resort area.
You can enjoy a blissful soak that relaxes both body and mind while admiring the greenery of the garden.

• Dairyuji Spring: The gentle, slightly lukewarm waters softly melt away the tension of everyday life.
• Garden Open-Air Baths: Fully equipped with separate indoor and open-air baths for men and women. Designed to let you experience the changing seasons with all five senses.
• A Moment of Bliss: A time enveloped in silence, beloved by repeat guests who describe it as “pure bliss…”

Please savor this supreme moment of relaxation, woven from the warmth of wood and the gentleness of the natural spring water.

━ 🌿 A soothing space enveloped in silence ━
In this place, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, the greatest luxury is simply letting yourself drift with the quiet passage of time.
Gathering around the famous “irori” hearth evokes a sense of nostalgia and leaves you feeling as though your soul has been cleansed.
Switch off from your daily routine and let yourself be soothed by Chichibu’s rich nature and the scent of its history.

━━ 🥾 Refresh Yourself Between Visits to the Chichibu Fudasho Pilgrimage ━━
With excellent access from Kannon-in Temple (Chichibu Pilgrimage Site No. 31), this is the perfect place to stop and rest after collecting temple stamps or taking a stroll.
Why not rejuvenate your tired body in our “famous healing hot springs” and recharge your energy for tomorrow?

In addition to overnight stays, we also offer day-use bathing (11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.).
Our entire staff sincerely looks forward to welcoming you.
