Conveniently located about a 1-minute walk from Gora Station, this elegant Japanese-style hot spring inn has a refined atmosphere. Its open, atrium-style lobby welcomes guests with a magnificent Noh stage at its center.
Each of its 158 guest rooms has a private open-air hinoki cypress bath, allowing guests to unwind and enjoy a leisurely soak.
The inn draws water from two hot spring sources. In addition to an atmospheric large public bath with a generous flow of fresh spring water, there are three private open-air baths. Both facilities are available at no additional charge.
A particularly welcome service for female guests is the option to choose a favorite yukata. Guests can select from a colorful assortment, and complimentary assistance with putting it on is available upon request.
For the lavish dinner, guests can choose between two restaurants with distinct styles: Kacho and Fugetsu. Kacho serves a Japanese kaiseki course featuring generous portions of local seafood and ingredients from both the mountains and the sea, while Fugetsu offers domestic beef shabu-shabu and sushi. At both restaurants, the chefs showcase their skill through dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients.
Exploring the spacious inn is another pleasure of staying here. Seasonal events are sometimes held in the lobby, so be sure to look out for them. Complimentary late-night ramen called Yonaki Soba is also available. Stop by if you get hungry in the evening. Quantities are limited, and service ends when supplies run out.

The hotel is a bit old, but it's still pretty clean. It's quite spacious, but carrying luggage up the stairs can be a bit tiring.

The inn is conveniently located just a short walk from Gora Station. After soaking in the hot spring, they offer Yakult, and at night, you can enjoy free ramen and Asahi draft beer.
