A wonderful place and experience to get away from urban noise, rush, and pressures to enjoy tranquility, reflection, and the local sounds of waterfalls and wind washing over verdant rice fields. The warm embrace of hot spring water is soothing and stress-relieving, despite the heat of the summer. The food is amazing! The service is impeccable and very courteous. The staff is very helpful, but be mindful that English throughout is limited, and almost all signs in the surrounding area is in Japanese.
