The water that is poured into the open-air bath in the room is called isotonic onsen, and it is said to be a rare hot spring even in Japan that does not put a strain on the body. It's just the two of you and even if there are other customers, there's only one group, so let's enjoy a luxurious bath while playing music that you don't usually listen to with the best acoustics. In addition, you can enjoy two open-air baths, one made of rocks with beautiful trees and the other with natural stones, so be sure to check them out as well.
This inn is unique in that it serves wholesome dishes made with only natural seasonings, taking advantage of the natural flavors of ingredients grown in the rich Tosa countryside. Rather than using flashy branded ingredients, you can enjoy the deep flavors created by the local nature itself. Breakfast, which uses plenty of pesticide-free vegetables, can be enjoyed in the dining room or on the terrace, where music is blaring, so if the weather is nice, you can enjoy a fantastic breakfast on the terrace.
