The hot spring water of Yamashiro is a rare and precious national resource because it springs out from a source that lies only a few dozen meters below the ground.
Our hotel enjoys the special distinction of drawing the largest amount of hot spring water of all the hotels in Yamashiro, drawing 540 koku, or about a hundred thousand liters (1 koku equals 180 liters), of water per day.
Furthermore, the superior quality of our spring water is well established and has won international acclaim. We were awarded the gold prize at the International Hygiene Exhibition held in Germany in the early Taisho period (the early 1900s).
