A 3-minute walk from Yubatake, this Hotel is located in the heart of the newly established "Ura-Kusatsu," a new landmark. The concept of the Hotel is "1/f Fluctuation." "1/f Fluctuation" refers to the harmony between regularity and irregularity. Like the rhythm of a human heartbeat, this non-constant rhythm, found in various natural elements of the world, brings a sense of comfort to the human mind. The flickering flames of a bonfire or hearth, the flowing motion of water, the rustling sound of trees, and the swaying lanterns as you stroll through the twilight of Ura-Kusatsu. Savor the fluctuation and enjoy a moment of healing.
