THE PLACE
A long history, a stay to plan.
In Hayakawa, Yamanashi Prefecture, Keiunkan traces its hot-spring history to 705. This date concerns the establishment’s origins; it does not mean the current building dates from the eighth century.
The website presents several spring-fed baths, including outdoor and private facilities. Water and a mountain setting shape the stay.
