Learn more about Miyama-so

Bandai Atami Onsen Miyama-so Ryokan is a small inn with four guest rooms. It is not what you might call a high-end ryokan. Therefore, you will not find any luxurious interior furnishings or fancy decorations, so if that is the type of inn you are looking for, I'm afraid we will not meet your expectations.

So what are the advantages to a small inn? We ask ourselves this question every day and do our best to provide the finest hospitality we can with sincerity.

Cleanliness is very important to us, and we strive daily to maintain the facility checking every nook and cranny inside and out. When providing customer service we do our utmost to respect the privacy of our customers and consider their needs.

Meals prepared with great care by the owner and head chef

The owner and head chef at Miyama-so takes great care in preparing each individual dish using carefully selected, seasonal ingredients. For this reason, all of the dishes cannot be placed before the guests at once. Kaishoku meals generally require between 1.5 to 2 hours. Each individual dish is brought out as it is prepared. Hot dishes are served hot and cold dishes are served cold, so that you can enjoy them as they should be enjoyed. We hope you will enjoy the traditional, rather than original, Fukushima meals served here, uninfluenced by fashion or trends.

*As the owner is also the head chef, we strive to meet menu requests and requirements, such as allergy concerns, as far as we are able.

Reserve the main bath and Goemon bath for private use at no extra charge.

The main bath and Goemon bath at Miyama-so can be reserved for private use at no extra charge. Feel free to reserve the bath as many times as you like as long as it is not in use. This is quite popular to do among couples and families. The water at Bandai Atami Onsen is not recycled or reheated in any way. Please relax in our 100% simple alkaline hot spring Goemon bath, which is a rare find these days.

Four guest rooms

At Miyama-so, futons are spread out in the rooms before the arrival of our guests. This is because we try to keep our visits to guest rooms at an absolute minimum while guests are staying. Please let us know beforehand if you prefer that we do not spread your futon out in advance. We use high quality bedding from Maruhachi Mawata.

Facilities at Miyama-so

Miyama-so does not have any annexed facilities like that of a large-scale hotel, nor is it a high-end inn. Therefore, you will not find any luxurious interior furnishings or fancy decorations, so if that is the type of inn you are looking for, I'm afraid we will not meet your expectations. There is a small space where souvenirs and fresh honey produced by local farmers are available for purchase.
