A warm, relaxing Onsen Accommodation nestled along the Jinzu Gorge. Escape the bustle and savor “the luxury of having nothing”—look up to a star-filled sky that seems to spill overhead, with only the murmuring clear stream and whispering forest for company. Our proud Onsen, known as the “Beauty Bath,” is fed by two different natural hot spring sources, enjoyed in both open-air baths and indoor baths. Unwind in a variety of bathing options—rock baths, pot baths, bubble baths, and a sauna—for a quiet, soothing retreat that gently melts away fatigue. In the evening, indulge in kaiseki cuisine featuring fresh Toyama sashimi; in the morning, wake up to a wholesome breakfast with nutritious partially milled rice (“gobun-zuki”) and two monthly rotating miso soups made with local ingredients. Conveniently located between the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and Kanazawa, our Accommodation is an ideal base for your Hokuriku journey.
