“Upscale adults-only retreat in the heart of Yamanouchi’s hot spring region. The mood is calm and refined, with clean-lined decor and nods to traditional Japanese aesthetics. There's a spa, open-air baths, and a bar, plus curated dining options. A quiet base for recharging and exploring nearby sites.”
