Matsuzakaya Honten

Welcome to Matsuzakaya Honten! The fragrance of the onsen and the objects of different times and spaces add color and luster to the pavilion. During the Meiji period (1868-1912), the hotel was the site of a meeting between Takayoshi Kido and Takamori Saigo, and many writers and artists, including Kaishu Katsu, Tesshu Yamaoka, and Taneomi Soejima, who stayed at the hotel. The private onsen boasts a flow rate of 200 liters per minute and is rich in all three major qualities of spring water for beautiful skin: sulfur spring, sulfate spring, and hydrogencarbonate spring. Please enjoy the onsen to your heart's content without any addition of water or heating.
