A hidden inn beyond the bridge

• 🌲The roughly 20,000㎡ grounds hold mountains, a stream, woods, a pond and a waterfall, with just three guest rooms.
• 📜Shinobu Onsen, said to have been found by mountain hunters about 100 years ago, still flows up naturally.

Two private open-air baths

• ♨️The riverside Seiin-no-yu and the mountainside Seikan-no-yu are both reservable private baths fed straight from the source.
• 🏔️Seikan-no-yu also has an indoor carbonated bath with mountain views.

• 🕔Open 5:00–24:00 from April to September and 6:00–24:00 from October to March.
