Shunsai no Sho Sakadojo English guides

Muikamachi Hot Spring, located at Hotel Sakadojo, is a traditional Japanese-style ryokan with hot spring facilities.

   The hot springs were unexpectedly discovered in the fall of 1957, when natural gas was being drilled in the area. During this process, a large amount of hot water suddenly emerged in the middle of a rice field. Initially, the hot springs were used informally by local farmhouses and workers. Over time, the area gained a reputation for its therapeutic properties, with the slogan “Tiredness can be taken away” becoming widely known.

The present Muikamachi Hot Spring owes its existence to the efforts of its predecessors, who sought to harness the abundant hot water. The hot spring has become a beloved destination, known for its remarkable health benefits. It is recognized as a national hot spring resort, widely praised for its therapeutic effects.
