Each of its 15 private guest rooms features an indoor hot spring bath and an open-air bath. Guests can soak to their heart's content in water drawn entirely from the property's own natural hot spring source while breathing in the fragrance of the surrounding virgin forest.

    As soon as you walk in, it’s super quiet—really gives you that “cut off from the world” feeling. The rooms are standalone cabin-style units, and each one has a private onsen, so the privacy is great.
    The whole place is surrounded by forest. Waking up to the fresh air in the morning feels so healing.
