Welcome to Seikokan 

About Seikokan

Seikokan started its business in 1707. Special carpenters mainly
built temples and Shinto shrines established the present building
in 1928. The owner of Seikokan at that time chose a high quality of
different timbers for the building.

This architect has been resistered as a national resistered tangible
culural property since March 2015.

Travellers stand in front of the building and look up at it for a while,
observing the white wall, old wooden framed windows, and roof tiles
that have withstood the heavy snow many a winter. The appearance
of the building is sedate and historical. 

Our guest rooms were competitively created by special carpenters.
Each room has a different appearance, consisting of varied designs
at places. Those spaces contain both humour of the carpenters and
luxurious atmosphere. Their beautiful handy work has not faded, and
the breath of that older times still remains. They may remind some
guests of the good older days, sitting on tatami floor over tea. Others
may have impressions of completely new sense.

Onsen Hot Spring

Soft touching clear hot spring keeps coming into the bathtubs without
being touched by the air. We would like our guests to enjoy authentic
hot spring here, solely powered by Mother Nature. Considering the quality
and quantity of the hot spring, we are sorry not to perpare many bathrooms,
yet, we would like you to enjoy the 100  percent fresh and pure hot spring.

Since our hot spring is not rely on a water circulation equiptment, nor adding
some chemical disinfection, please accept that our bathtubs are covered with
thin rids. This is to keep a moderate stable temperature of onsen hot spring
as well as to be eco friendly to our beautiful planet. We would like to be as
sustainable as possible in the future.
