NARUKO ONSEN  ·  MIYAGI, JAPAN

こけし庵

KOKESHI-AN — A night just for the two of you.

VIEW OUR PLANS
Our Concept

A place to forget the everyday.

Deep in the mountains of Miyagi lies Naruko Onsen,
a thousand-year-old hot spring town wrapped in rising steam.

Kokeshi-an is a small inn of just eight rooms,
named after the wooden kokeshi dolls this town has crafted for centuries.
Slow down, soak deep, and share a quiet night with someone you love.

Why Kokeshi-an

Three reasons couples
choose Kokeshi-an

01

A private open-air bath for two

Reserve our open-air bath and have the milky
hot spring water entirely to yourselves,
under the sky in every season. Free of charge.

02

Kaiseki dinner served in your room

Seasonal multi-course cuisine made with Sanriku
seafood, famed Osaki rice and vegetables from
local farms — enjoyed privately in your room.

03

A quiet hideaway of eight rooms

With only eight rooms, the inn stays calm and
unhurried. Our small team is here to protect
your time together.

Hot Spring

The waters of Naruko

Naruko Onsen is one of Japan's richest hot spring areas — 9 of the country's 11 spring types rise here.

Kokeshi-an's own spring is a milky-white sulfur bath with a gentle scent and a silky touch that warms you to the core, long after you leave the water.

Along with our main bath, a private open-air bath is available — a bathing experience just for the two of you.

PRIVATE OPEN-AIR BATH · FREE · BY RESERVATION
Cuisine

Dining

Our kaiseki dinner is built around what this land grows best: fresh seafood from the Sanriku coast, rice from the celebrated Osaki plains, and seasonal vegetables from farms nearby.

Dinner is served in the privacy of your room — no dining hall, no hurry, just the two of you and the season on the table.
