An Accommodation of nine detached villas, reimagined by designers
Nestled in the deep mountains of Yoshino, surrounded by crystal-clear air and profound tranquility, this intimate Accommodation—an annex-style retreat with only nine Rooms—has been given new life through the sensibilities of designers. Sakurayama Hotel is not about glamour; it is a welcoming place where you can experience Japan’s true “beauty” and “peace” with all five senses. Each detached Room features a Shigaraki-ware open-air bath supplied with 100% free-flowing Onsen water from the source, soothing both body and mind. As you gaze at the Yoshino mountain range beyond the rising steam, enjoy quiet moments that gently unwind your heart.
Nine detached Rooms
Each of the nine detached Rooms is built with an abundance of natural materials, including Yoshino cedar. With the scent and warmth of wood and softly filtered light, these one-of-a-kind spaces reinterpret the beauty of Japanese architecture through a modern sensibility, offering a truly soothing retreat.
Onsen & Bath
Yunomine Onsen is the oldest in the Totsukawa Onsen area and has been loved by many for over 570 years. The Onsen at Senkei is a mildly sulfur-scented “simple sulfur spring,” featuring 100% free-flowing natural hot spring water with no added water, no heating, and no circulation filtration. Medical testing has proven it to have one of Japan’s highest levels of antioxidant effects, making it a renowned hot spring.
