In March 2009 it was given two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, and the same year it was recognised as a Heritage of Industrial Modernization.
Dogo Onsen Station is about 250 m away in a straight line, and Botchan Train about 200 m. Matsuyama Castle is about 2 km off. We have not checked bathing hours or fees.
