This is a soothing onsen hotel located in a place where you can feel the murmuring of the river. Free transportation is available from Seibu Chichibu Station with advance reservation, so access is easy. Many of the rooms have a valley view, so you can relax with the refreshing scenery.
We recommend the Japanese-modern guest room, which was recently renovated in 2016. The stylish interior and Simmons semi-double beds are the highlights. The sink is spacious and comes equipped with skincare products and other amenities. There is also a clean shower room, so you can get ready comfortably in the morning.
There is a large onsen bath in the building where you can relax and soothe your tired body. The water in the open-air bath is not onsen water, but it has a calming atmosphere and you can enjoy the refreshing view of the Yokose River.
