Located about 0.6 miles from the center of Kurokawa Onsen, this peaceful inn offers a quiet retreat from the bustle.

The inn consists of a main building and detached villas. The guest rooms blend traditional Japanese design with modern touches, creating a stylish atmosphere, while soft lighting sets the mood for a relaxing stay. Each detached villa is a private retreat surrounded by nature, complete with an irori hearth and open-air bath.

The inn is known for its open-air bath overlooking the striking Byobu Rock. The free-flowing bicarbonate spring water is renowned for its skin-beautifying properties and features a gentle feel and beautiful emerald-green color. Day visitors are also welcome, but they use separate baths from overnight guests, allowing those staying at the inn to enjoy a leisurely soak.

Meals feature creative Japanese kaiseki cuisine prepared with seasonal local ingredients. The sophisticated presentation adds to the sense of occasion. Meals are served in the guest rooms, allowing diners to relax in private.
