Room
All Rooms we offer are purely Japanese-style. In a serene atmosphere, you can feel a nostalgic charm. From the Room windows, you can see the woods and the Tanohara River flowing below, enjoying the mountain Onsen scenery.

Our Onsen is a unique sodium chloride sulfate spring rich in oils. Notably, the women-only open-air bath 'Keshou no Yu' is renowned for leaving the skin so smooth and moisturized that no lotion is needed. Combining it with our proud esthetic menu enhances the effects. Please give it a try.

The kaiseki cuisine, incorporating abundant local seasonal flavors, is a popular menu item that highlights the essence of natural ingredients. Enjoy the exquisite dishes crafted by our head chef, who is dedicated to pursuing exceptional taste. Dishes are served in accordance with your dining pace.
