Tamakiyo Co., Ltd. operates two facilities where guests can enjoy fine food and sake, as well as a café. Matsunoyama Onsen, where Tamakiya is quietly nestled, is highly regarded as one of Japan's three great medicinal hot springs. Its distinctive feature is that the hot spring water is filled with seawater that is 12 million years old. This ancient seawater results in a high concentration of boric acid in the hot spring water, which is believed to have antifungal and antibacterial properties effective against skin diseases. Moreover, the water at Matsunoyama Onsen is weakly alkaline and gentle on the skin. It is known for its moisturizing effects due to metasilicic acid, which leaves the skin soft and radiant after use. Even in the coldest winter, when surrounded by snow walls up to 3 meters high, soaking in Matsunoyama Onsen thoroughly warms you, allowing you to enjoy the snowy scenery without feeling much of the cold outside. Soaking in the hot spring while taking in the snow-covered landscape is truly a luxurious experience.
