The spacious rooms are thoughtfully decorated, with elements like semi-open-air baths, cypress baths, and even Jacuzzis in select rooms. All guests receive a bathrobe and can choose from a selection of yukatas, further enriching the traditional experience. 

During your stay, indulge in the onsen viewing bath or savor meticulously prepared Kaiseki cuisine at the in-house restaurant, Sushicho. The meals, delicately crafted by the head chef, spotlight the seasonal dishes of Hida, combining fresh local vegetables with seafood delivered straight from the farm. If you want to relax, Ryokan's hot springs offer various baths to revitalize your body and mind. Other features include the Relaxkura, a beauty salon, and a bath.
