About Koishiya Ryokan:
Koishiya Ryokan was created by craftsmen with their taste in early Showa era in Shibu hot spring with 1300 years of history. We wanted to keep this closed Ryokan open for later generations, and so we turned the lights on in August 2015. The tasteful Japanese rooms remains the same although it was renovated to be comfortable and reasonable to fit the recently popular style.
Caf & bar in the building:
We use Hydra- 3 expresso machine made by Synesso. The coffee which is carefully prepared by our barista is everyones favourite! The coffee beans for expresso comes from dry on tree in Brazil. Different coffee beans are used every month. The atmosphere is so easy-going that guests of neighbouring Ryokan and guests for outdoor bath tour come by. You can enjoy the drinks with JPY 500 or more.
