A “farm auberge” perched on a hill surrounded by nature. Enjoy a special stay in a private detached suite with an indoor bath fed directly from the hot spring source.

"Shirogane no Mori" is an "agricultural auberge" created by Yoshihiro Matsuoka, the founder of Kokko Farm (poultry farming), who personally carved out a mountain the size of the Tokyo Dome. It combines a Property, restaurant, Onsen, and farm. All guest Rooms are detached suites, featuring luxurious queen-sized beds. Each Room is also equipped with a private Onsen with natural hot spring water. At the panoramic restaurant "Shiki Minori," we serve creative kaiseki cuisine in private dining rooms, carefully prepared using ingredients lovingly grown by local producers, including those from the Shirogane no Mori farm. Enjoy seasonal cuisine, natural beauty, skin-beautifying hot springs, and the gentle flow of time with your loved ones.

  • We stayed for one night with dinner and breakfast included. The Room had a calm atmosphere, the view was wonderful, and it was a very comfortable space. At night, we could see many stars and felt soothed by the richness of nature. The indoor bath with free-flowing natural hot spring water was very spacious, and even two adults could soak in comfort. Both dinner and breakfast were well-balanced and absolutely delicious. Plenty of tasty vegetables were used, the eggs were fresh, and we were very satisfied. Personally, the burdock potage was especially delicious.The staff were also very kind, which made our stay truly comfortable. We would love to visit again in a different season.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Guest room

A secluded retreat on a high hill, a place to slowly cultivate oneself.

The Room features a 100% natural flowing Onsen and an unobstructed location. Enjoy the great nature of Kikuchi from the terrace or the living room. The Property is designed with privacy in mind. Take off your watch and spend some "do-nothing time." The windows of the inn perched on the forested hilltop are like a large canvas. Beyond the trees lies a serene rural landscape. Seasonal light and breeze pour into the private Onsen in each Room. Take your time to cultivate your own moments in one of the eight uniquely designed Rooms.
