lodging house

I'm proud of this one too.

There are two types of accommodations: a detached lodge and a group building with four rooms in one building. The detached lodge is slightly larger, but the two-story structure with a tatami room on the first floor is almost identical. Another attraction is the free use of the open-air baths, which are full of natural beauty, and the hot spring bathhouse, which is known for its tepid, high-quality water. All rooms are equipped with an indoor bath, which is filled with the same alkaline simple spring water as that in the Onsenkan. The large windows allow light to stream in, and the natural hot spring water can be enjoyed at any time during your stay in the open space.
