Perfect for three-generation family trips, women’s getaways, or couples seeking a cozy retreat, the hotel is thoughtfully curated with art pieces, including ceramics, for guests to explore through touch. Experience a space where Japanese cultural elements are reimagined through international materials and design—an inspiring blend of tradition and modernity.
The baths, which use spring water from the northern foot of Mt. Fuji, are soft and gentle on the skin, and are managed so that you can use them comfortably 24 hours a day. The semi-open-air baths are designed so that you can enjoy the fresh air of Lake Kawaguchi while gazing at the botanicals. In addition, the steam sauna fills the space with high-density steam, raising your core body temperature and encouraging sweating, warming you from the core. After your hot bath, you can relax on the balcony in your pajamas or yukata.
