Tochigi Prefecture／Nasushiobara CityA tranquil valley retreat with seasonal local cuisine and 11 open-air baths.
Nestled along a tranquil valley, our Property takes pride in offering warm hospitality and cuisine made with seasonal local ingredients. We feature 11 unique guest rooms with open-air baths, a lounge, a private club, a table tennis corner, meeting rooms, and various other Facilities. The clear stream of the Houki River flowing right in front and the trees on the mountainside across the river showcase different expressions with the changing seasons. Our Onsen, with its colorless, transparent, and skin-friendly neutral spring quality, is said to have beautifying effects. We invite you to enjoy a relaxing Onsen experience and delicious cuisine for a memorable journey.
We visited with great anticipation, having heard this Accommodation has a 150-year history. From the warm welcome at arrival, everyone greeted us with smiles, and our expectations immediately rose. We were escorted to our Room by a staff member, and the attentive service was remarkably detailed—something rare these days. The building has been beautifully renovated. Relaxing in the lounge surrounded by nature while looking out over the clear stream of the Hoki River was wonderful, and our conversations flowed easily. The facilities and our Room were spacious and spotless, and the gentle scent of incense was delightful. Every staff member we passed had a soothing smile. Dinner was carefully prepared, and the thoughtfully chosen tableware made it feel even more delicious. My mother and aunt—both very particular about food—praised it highly as well; we were truly impressed by the flavors of the ingredients themselves. The semi-open-air bath in our Room and the public baths felt silky soft on the skin, so we enjoyed them again and again. It seemed to promote perspiration; we warmed up from deep within, and all fatigue melted away. There were also table tennis, massages, and more available to enjoy—the service is thorough in every way. We also heard that for a Multiple Night Stay, different dishes are served each day. After dinner, we took a walk along the Hoki River and saw fireflies drifting through an enchanting scene—it felt magical. This became an unforgettable memory of this Accommodation. On the drive home we were already saying, “Let’s come back for a Multiple Night Stay in another season.” At a time when many places are simplifying their services, we are truly grateful to have found such a wonderful Accommodation with such attentive hospitality. We will recommend it to friends and acquaintances as well. Thank you very much.
