Amazing service and beautifully presented Japanese cuisine with an artistic touch. Each room has its own private hot spring bath where you can enjoy views of the river. Although it’s not cheap and a bit tricky to get to, staying here makes it all worthwhile!

Bettei Senjyuan is a famous inn, surrounded by the serene silence of the valley with a view of Mt. Tanigawa. By incorporating traditional Japanese designs alongside modern architecture, they create a unique and luxurious atmosphere.
The hot spring’s water comes from the Tanigawa Onsen, which has been an active spring for hundreds of years. Relax and enjoy the hot water with over 20 different benefits in the open-air baths provided for all rooms, the 4 large communal baths flowing with the scent of cypress, and the walk-in bath (summer only).
The meals served are creative takes on Japanese cuisine, made using local ingredients like Joshu beef and charr. The chef prepares the dishes with utmost care, allowing you to enjoy the ingredients in their best forms. Furthermore, there is a robust lineup of alcoholic drinks available for pairing with meals. We recommend sampling the sake from local sake breweries and wineries. Choosing your drink according to your meal is sure to elevate the experience even further.
Enjoy the free-flowing natural hot springs and dishes made with local ingredients, but also be sure to take a stroll while soaking in negative ions. Take in the full experience of an adult holiday in a luxurious location that embodies Japanese-style resorts.
