In Ginzan Onsen, a popular nostalgic hot spring resort town, a historical building built in the art deco style that was common in Japan in the Taisho and Showa periods before World War II, was revived by a master craftsman in the “Honkan Kosekiya” hotel on July 1, 2022.
Art Deco, which originated in France in the 1920s and 1930s and flourished in the United States, replaced Art Nouveau, an artistic movement that flourished in Europe from the late 19th to the early 20th century.
It is estimated that the first and second floors were built in the Taisho era (1912-1926) and the third floor in the early Showa era (1926-1989).
In the past, many of the buildings in Ginzan Onsen were constructed or restored using timber from their own backyards. This resulted in a unique landscape where different styles from different eras coexisted in the buildings that had been built over the years.
The renovation of the “Honkan Koseki-ya” was carried out by reusing old materials as much as possible and using traditional Japanese woodworking techniques to recreate the original appearance. The use of new materials was unavoidable, but the coloring was left as it was to respect the character of the local building and the taste that time has fostered.
Mountain-side Taisho modern guest room (with toilet, non-smoking room)
This mountain-side room is surrounded by seasonal colors. The chic Taisho-roman style interior with stained glass windows and antique bedboards will make you feel like you are on a journey.
River side Taisho modern room (with toilet, non-smoking room)
Facing the hot spring resort overlooking the Ginzan River, the room is a modern Japanese/Western style room with wooden flooring and two semi-double beds. The traditional distorted glass lattice windows can be used as veranda balustrades in the summer for a liberating and relaxing experience.
River side Japanese style room (Non-smoking)
The pure Japanese-style rooms are full of historical romance, retaining as much as possible the skills and attention to detail of the successive generations of craftsmen involved in the construction of the main building of Koseki-ya. We offer you the relaxation of a period inn, where you can smell the free and vigorous playfulness of the craftsmen of the time and the beauty of Japanese architectural style.
To make your stay at the Ginansen Onsen more relaxing and enjoyable, drinks are included in the room rate and are all-inclusive. Drinks, including alcoholic beverages, can be enjoyed anytime at the beverage bar in the lobby lounge.
Retro modern lounge with earthen floor and sunken hearth
The modern lounge welcoming guests is laid out with an earthen floor and sunken hearth. Behind the sunken hearth, where a large one-piece chestnut table is set in the center of the room, you will find a view of the courtyard with a hot spring pond. Enjoy a relaxing and restful time at Ginzan while enjoying the free self-serve drinks available throughout your stay.
