Unite with nature on a journey to heal your mind and body in the Kuju Highlands.
Under the clear blue sky, embark on a journey to heal your mind and body. Nestled at an altitude of 820 meters in the Kuju Highlands, this environmentally integrated Property offers a serene retreat. From the open-air bath, you can gaze upon the majestic Aso Five Peaks and the Zao mountain range in the distance, embraced by the endless expanse of green meadows stretching from the foothills. After soaking in the breath of nature, unwind in the guest rooms. Designed as single-story wooden structures, they provide a relaxing space enveloped in the refreshing scent of wood. For dinner, enjoy a Japanese kaiseki meal featuring seasonal ingredients, and for breakfast, indulge in a Japanese-Western buffet. Leave behind the worries of daily life and refresh yourself. Spend a blissful moment here.
The food was truly delicious.The dishes were so elaborate it was surprising, and the quality was so high I completely forgot I was staying in a cottage.I even made another Reservation right away and stayed again after just one day.I chose the same meal again, and it was genuinely excellent.And then there’s the open-air Onsen surrounded by vast, unspoiled nature as far as the eye can see—it’s truly something special.I love the carbonated Onsen water as well, and overall I was completely satisfied with the cottage, the scenery, and especially the food.Even though it was cloudy, after dinner at night I went outside,and I could clearly capture many summer stars even with my iPhone.This is an Accommodation I would definitely love to visit again.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 7/22/2026The Onsen, meals, and views were all excellent. The Room was spacious and very relaxing. I would love to visit again if I have the opportunity.
