The hot spring facilities were offering three distinctive large baths. Tengu no Yu has been transformed into a swimsuit-style thermal spring, featuring an open-air bath overlooking the Kano River and a cave bath, along with a sauna filled with natural hot spring water for added moisturizing benefits. Tsuki no Yu offers a serene indoor bath with soft natural light, and a tea-room inspired sauna designed by renowned sauna master Dai Matsuo, selected among “Japan’s Top 10 Must-Visit Saunas.” Hoshi no Yu has been renovated from a private bath into a gender-separated large bath, featuring an open-air bath and a dry sauna, ideal for alternating hot and cold bathing. In addition, a riverside tent sauna allows guests to refresh directly in the river after heating up, creating a truly unique wellness experience.

Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while bathrooms feature shower/tub combinations, natural hot spring water, and free toiletries.
"Located beside the stream, it is a nice Japanese hot spring courtyard holiday experience! The private hot spring experience is good, and the meals in the morning and evening also give a sense of ritual. It's just that the tatami in the bedroom area does not have floor heating in winter, which makes it a little uncomfortable. Maybe it would be more comfortable to go out in spring and escape the heat in summer."
