Kameya 亀や

Kameya, with a history spanning more than three centuries, has been a welcoming host to visitors for many generations. Its name, “the turtle’s house,” originates from a local legend that explains the beginning of Yunohama Onsen. In this tale, a fisherman found a wounded turtle on the beach, near a natural hot spring. Remarkably, the warm waters of Yunohama Onsen healed the turtle’s wounds, giving rise to the belief in the therapeutic qualities of these waters. Kameya has also had the pleasure of hosting two Imperial couples: Emperor Hirohito and Empress Kojun, as well as Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. They’ve enjoyed their stay in Kameya’s luxurious suite known as “HORAI.” For those seeking more standard accommodations, Kameya offers comfortable rooms, ensuring a pleasant and memorable experience for all guests.
