Handwoven textiles and timber sliding shutters become a portal to the surrounding landscapes. Imbued with the timeless wisdom of Japanese design, each abode boasts a private onsen—a homage to Japan's revered hot spring tradition.  

Additionally, there are two private onsen pavilions offering you moments of solace, featuring a Watsu pool, four treatment suites, and a fitness centre.
