Snow Country Onsen Ryokan in Shizukuishi, Iwate

This property offers a hot spring inn located in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture, which is currently closed but retains its facilities. The hot spring was discovered through drilling in 2005, and the establishment opened the same year as both an accommodation and a day-trip bathing facility. The water is described as having a rare "torori" (thick and smooth) quality that was popular in the region. Operated as a homey hotel for approximately 20 years, the business was closed four years ago due to the aging of the management, though the property remains in its current state.

The hot spring water temperature is 44.8°C and is a free-flowing natural source. The facility includes both men's and women's open-air baths. There is one large hall and 10 private rooms. The location is approximately 30 minutes from Morioka City, and 20 to 30 minutes from Koiwai Farm and Shizukuishi Ski Resort. Several ski resorts are located in the nearby area. The property is considered suitable for operation as a homey resort hotel or as a corporate welfare facility. It was largely unaffected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake due to firm ground conditions and construction by a major general contractor. The hot spring was developed by the owner, so there are no membership fees or usage charges, and the sale includes the rights to the hot spring. Maintenance costs for the hot spring are minimal because the water emerges at approximately 45°C, requiring no additional heating beyond the electricity for the pump motor. The total monthly electricity bill for the entire facility averages around 350,000 yen.

The property includes land of 8,820 square meters and a wooden building of 2,500 square meters. The current status is vacant. The asking price is 57,000,000 yen. The transaction will be conducted on an as-is basis and by public register. The map position indicates the vicinity of the property.
