日之影温泉駅
Hinokage-Onsen Station
This hot spring hotel occupies a disused train station and lets you spend the night on a train car
This natural hot spring and inn occupies the renovated former Hinokage Station building on the now defunct Takachiho Railway. Visitors enter from the train platform to find the hot spring on the 2nd floor, including a large bath, outdoor bath, super-jet bath, and sauna. If you try the outdoor bath, you will be greeted by spectacular views including the pure flowing waters of Gokase River, and the surrounding mountains and valleys. The first floor also features a shop selling local goods and a restaurant which is famous for its Chicken Nanban and Special Chanpon. Diners can also try local wild boar, venison, and Ayu sweetfish depending on the season.
But the best part of this inn is the rooms occupying train cars which still retain the original conductor’s chair and control panel. The inn has refurbished old train cars from the former Takachiho Railway to use as the guest rooms, something not found elsewhere, and it is worth staying here if you like railways.
