Deep in the mountains of Gifu, this is Okuhida. "Something special... While there may not be anything fancy here, there are countless things you won't find in the city." Things not found in the city. These are likely the things that many people living in urban areas forget or fail to notice in their daily lives. Here in Okuhida, such special things overflow in everyday life, shining brightly. Not by the calendar, but by the rhythm of daily life, you can feel the seasons change. The flowing air, the mountains changing colors, the songs of birds and insects dancing in the sky, and the flowers blooming by the roadside all signal the arrival of the seasons. Nestled in the abundant nature of Okuhida is the hot spring Property, "Yumoto Choza." In an ever-evolving era, it is a place to rediscover the unchanging. During your time here, such "special things" will quietly and gently seep into your body... peacefully, at your own pace.
