AQUAIGNIS
A hot spring resort offering free-flowing baths and fine dining.
A hot spring resort centered on relaxation and dining in Yunoyama Onsen at the foot of Mt. Gozaisho. The resort brings together hot springs, restaurants, a patisserie, a bakery, accommodations, a strawberry farm, and more, offering a range of ways to spend your time, whether on a day trip or an overnight stay.
Kataoka Onsen is a natural hot spring supplied entirely by free-flowing spring water, known for its soft, slightly viscous water. Its open-air bath is surrounded by a bamboo grove, providing a relaxing setting for a long soak. Day-use bathing is available, and the facility also features an onsen café and relaxation services, making it an ideal place to unwind.
Dining is another major highlight. Options include Hironobu Tsujiguchi’s Confiture H patisserie and Mariage de Farine bakery, Italian cuisine by Masayuki Okuda, and Japanese cuisine at Masahiro Kasahara’s “Kasaan” Sanpiryoron. Each serves dishes and sweets that showcase the flavors of carefully selected ingredients.
Accommodations include a main lodging building with 15 Western-style rooms and four detached guesthouses named Sugi, Matsu, Kuri, and Hinoki. Each detached guesthouse has a private open-air bath supplied entirely by free-flowing hot spring water. In season, guests can also go strawberry picking at TSUJIGUCHI FARM on the property.
