    You can avoid tour groups here and really enjoy the inn, which the owner has carefully restored and relocated. It's full of nostalgic, retro vibes and so relaxing. Soaking in the hot springs with beautiful views and enjoying delicious food—this is what happiness is all about!

    I heard that even the Japanese Emperor tried these and loved them, so I had to buy some myself. Turns out, a lot of people were buying them too! I got the signature flavor—the rich buttery aroma with sugar on top is amazing. Perfect with tea. Highly recommended!

    This place was actually used as a filming location for the movie Kiki's Delivery Service, which really shows just how beautiful the scenery is.

    There are so many teas to choose from here! I bought a small pack to take home. They also have sweets that go well with tea—the edamame mochi is especially famous. It's a bit sweet and has a nice texture with bits of beans. Definitely worth a try!
