It is designed in the style of Gassho-zukuri with the Japanese thatched-roof. There are 5 Tatami-style rooms. There is Irori in the Dining room. Irori is Japanese traditional chimney used for heating the room and cooking food. The bath is Hinoki-buro which is made of Japanese cypress.

The first rule of onsen hot springs etiquette is that swimsuits are not allowed. If the thought of being naked worries you, or for those guests who feel reluctant to bathe in the presence of others, we recommend choosing accommodations with private onsen such as chartered family outdoor baths (reservations required) or guest rooms with open-air baths.
