Overview
Surrounded by three mountains, Ichinomata Onsen Grand Hotel offers a peaceful retreat deep in the countryside of Shimonoseki. The natural setting quiets your mind and invites you to slow down. Here, you can soak in a silky hot spring, dine on seafood from the surrounding seas and mountain game from nearby Toyotacho, and rest in a room that feels like home. Let the calm of Ichinomata become your own hidden escape.
Accommodation
You can stretch out in one of the spacious Japanese-style rooms with ten tatami mats and relax while gazing out at a quiet garden. The ryokan also offers a modern guestroom available for just one booking per night. This room features a counter overlooking the garden, making it ideal for anniversaries or special stays.
If you’re looking for extra comfort, try the barrier-free Western-style room with wide entryways and wheelchair-accessible bath and toilet. Whether you’re traveling with friends, as a couple, or with family, every room gives you space to rest in comfort and privacy.
Dining
Each meal brings the flavors of Yamaguchi to your table. You’ll enjoy seasonal Kaiseki courses prepared with care by the head chef. The ryokan serves fresh seafood like pufferfish, abalone, and local sashimi alongside mountain ingredients like wild vegetables and wild boar.
You can upgrade to a premium Kaiseki course, which includes dishes like fugu hot pot, seared wagyu steak, and sashimi from seven kinds of local fish. For a special treat, the hotel also offers a full fugu course—fugu sashimi, grilled fugu, fugu hot pot, and porridge to finish.
Meals are served either in your room or in a private dining space, so you can enjoy each bite at your own pace without distraction.
Onsen and Wellness
The onsen at Ichinomata wraps your skin in warmth. With a high pH of 10, the water here feels smooth like lotion and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and moisturized. The open-air bath lets you soak surrounded by trees and sky. Inside, the indoor bath invites you into its soft, gentle waters. You’ll feel your body release stress as you ease into each soak.
You can also reserve a private family bath. Choose between a cedar tub or a stone bath, and enjoy a quiet, personal soak with your travel companion. These private baths are available by reservation.
Guests with Tattoos
If you have a tattoo, please inquire at the front desk. Some restrictions may apply, but staff will do their best to offer alternatives when available.
Facilities
You can stroll through the ryokan and find peaceful corners to rest, snack, or explore. In the tea lounge, enjoy self-serve coffee or treat yourself to soft-serve ice cream with more than 15 flavors to choose from. At the gallery hallway, admire photos, drawings, and crafts by local artists.
The souvenir shop carries popular items like handmade bath products made from Ichinomata’s spring water and local specialties from Toyotacho. After your bath, meet your companions at the tatami waiting area and refresh with cold water or tea.
For group events or celebrations, the ryokan has banquet halls with flexible layouts. Whether you’re planning a reunion, a wedding, or a formal dinner, the staff will help organize your gathering.
Activities
Relaxing is easy at Ichinomata, but if you’re curious to explore, the surrounding nature offers trails and scenic drives.
