A spacious 3,000-tsubo property with only 13 rooms, each featuring a private open-air bath. Enjoy two distinct types of Onsen in the private baths and the large communal bath. Savor creative cuisine crafted with seasonal local ingredients, and experience warm, attentive service that only a small accommodation can provide.

I was truly soothed by the open-air bath attached to my Room. Listening to the evening cicadas and feeling the breeze, I enjoyed soaking in the Onsen with an indescribable sense of calm. I would love to visit again when I return to Japan. Some of the staff were international, but everyone spoke Japanese very well, which made me feel at ease. Thank you very much.
