  • The traditional Japanese house had a wonderful atmosphere, and we were able to relax and enjoy some quiet time.The sauna and cold plunge were authentic and felt amazing. The Room was clean, and we could unwind while looking out at the garden.We’d love to visit again in a different season.

  • We stayed here for our anniversary as it was recommended as a great place to visit somewhere we had never been before.The location is in a peaceful, open area surrounded by mountains, and we were truly moved by scenery you rarely see around Osaka.The Accommodation is an enormous historic residence far beyond what we imagined. With a living room, bedroom, bath (with sauna), dining area, and courtyard, it was thoughtfully designed so there was always something to enjoy—our first stay here kept us excited the whole time.We loved the harmony between antique furnishings and state-of-the-art systems. It felt nostalgic yet completely comfortable, and the design never grew tiring—truly impressive.The carefully selected ingredients and wines were unlike anything we had experienced before. Even the dining space itself felt special, and our conversation never stopped.Thanks to the staff’s detailed explanations of the history and their dedication to every detail, my wife and I had an extremely satisfying stay.It has become a memorable place we would love to return to someday.
