Deep in the Okukinu woods, the property is reached by shuttle or a scenic seventy-minute footpath from the valley car park. Multiple natural onsen include mixed bathing with waterfall views right beside the tubs (women typically towel-wrap, men a small modesty towel), spotless log-cabin rooms, and stunning seven-to-eight-course dinners and breakfasts in the dining hall. One dispute: a canceled booking saw no refund.
