The whisper of the surrounding forests accompanies every moment here, inviting you to let go. The indoor or outdoor hot springs, combined with spa treatments, offer an immersive wellness experience.

Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Naturally appealing, this ryokan combines traditional elements with elegant modern touches. The outdoor onsens offer a relaxing experience well integrated into the natural setting. However, the ambiance of the rooms and some architectural choices bring a slight westernization that sometimes breaks with the total Japanese immersion.
