A private adults-only accommodation with 10 detached rooms, each featuring an open-air bath.
Our facility features only 10 Rooms on a vast property. The Rooms are detached and include open-air baths. Meals are served in private dining rooms for both breakfast and dinner. Two private baths along the stream allow for a stay that prioritizes privacy.
We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had a detached guesthouse with an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and thanks to that we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen. I usually don’t spend much time bathing, but the open-air bath felt so wonderful that I soaked in it many times.The Room was a Japanese-Western style room, but since I have trouble with my legs, I thought it would have been nice to have a chair. The older Room had a slight musty smell, but we were able to stay comfortably without any issues.We had dinner at the dining area. There were many dishes, and the salt-grilled yamame trout and grilled wagyu beef were outstanding. The service was attentive as well, and each dish was brought out at just the right time. We also received sparkling wine for the birthday celebration, which made my husband very happy.When we left, we were given souvenirs (the croissants were incredibly delicious) and even seen off by the staff. It was a very fulfilling two days. We will visit again. Thank you very much.

Introduction of the Accommodation
At our facility, all Onsen are sourced directly from the spring. You can enjoy the Onsen in your Room with an open-air bath and an indoor bath, gender-separated large baths 'Takimi no Yu', and two private baths.
The dishes are simple and rustic mountain village cuisine, but we prepare them with heartfelt sincerity for guests who come from afar.
