In Tawarayama, where the practice of outdoor bathing is common, this onsen features private indoor family baths ("kazoku-buro").

Guests to Yamaguchi-ya Bekkan are welcomed to enjoy the feeling of an older Japan in our separate villa, "Gou-gou Iori." The villa is an elegant Edo Period (1603-1868) building in the Sukiya style of traditional tea houses, and was moved and reconstructed here, complete with a cozy sunken hearth. Pets are also welcome here. Dining includes seasonal banquets, and in the winter, full courses of blowfish and turtle.
