Harazuru Hot Spring Izumiya Ryokan is one of 20 hotels and ryokans on Onsengai (Hot Spring Street). According to the proprietress of this family oriented inn, ”I want our guests to feel special, even if they only stay once. Connecting with people is important, I think.”
The slightly alkaline water of the Harazuru hot spring boasts an abundant output of water. It is here where the tasteless and odorless water is said to be effective in alleviating fatigue, nerve pain and rheumatoid arthritis. The hot water is also known to make skin smooth. If guests use a Yumeguri cho, a coupon book that allows guest to visit numerous hot springs, they can enjoy the spas of 2 - 3 inns with one coupon book (One book with 7 tickets is 1,500 yen). A stones throw away from the inn is the Chikugo River where guests can fish for U (Japanese cormorant) starting from May, 20th and into September.
