Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Terraced tea plantations climb the surrounding valley, and quiet town streets lead past historic bathhouses.

The rooms
All thirty-six rooms have private spring-fed baths, and brewing corners come stocked with regional tea leaves.
The onsen and saunas
Soak slowly.
Free-flowing hot spring waters feed the garden baths, and saunas release regular infusions of local green tea.
At the table
Private dining rooms serve seasonal kaiseki with local onsen tofu, and dedicated tea masters pour regional brews at the counter.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
