It may seem contradictory, but what is so relaxing is actually an extraordinary experience. The location is not in a hot spring town, but in a quiet countryside. This time, considering the time of year, the building was surrounded by autumn leaves that were especially pleasing to the eye no matter where you were in the building or the rooms. There is a space next to the lobby where you can enjoy a welcome drink, and alcoholic beverages such as sparkling wine, shochu, and sake are also available. For coffee, there are different machines for brewing coffee during the day and in the morning, which is very clever. The dining room is a private room, so it's relaxing, but sometimes I was bothered by the voices talking next door. I stayed in a spacious maisonette-style room, and the open-air bath adjacent to the relaxation room was particularly spacious and relaxing. Perhaps due to the circulation of hot spring water, the entire room felt soft and warm. It was very well kept. The meals were mainly made with local ingredients, and although they weren't flashy or extravagant, they all had unique twists and were unexpected and very enjoyable. For example, the ``Earth Soup'' that was served in the evening was a potage made with burdock, taro, and Jerusalem artichoke, and was a refreshing experience that could truly be described as ``tasting the umami of earth.'' The serving timing is also very good, as they adjust the cooking time of the takikomi rice to match the progress of your drinking.
