    The onsen was so beautiful as well as the surrounding area. Especially the private onsen, such an unforgettable experience. We had a very big and comfortable room. The food was also very good.

    There has been a hot springs inn on this site for over 1300 years, it sits on a winding mountain road with nothing else near it. As soon as I saw the view from my alcove, looking over a little burbling stream with the tall mountains in full...

    Lived up to its promise. No wonder it has been around since 705 AD! Exquisite 5-star service from start to finish. Excellent quality meals, and the Onsen experiences were perfect.
