An exquisitely designed inn in Yunokawa Onsen, combining heavy architecture of a relocated old folk house with European antiques. The space where Japanese serenity and Western aesthetics resonate is truly a hideaway for adults. Each room has a different concept, and detached rooms with semi-open-air baths from the source promise the best privacy and luxury. In the dining area, guests can enjoy creative Kaiseki using firewood-cooked rice and strictly selected local ingredients. Soaking in the "skin-beautifying hot spring" and spending time quietly in an art-like space—this is a place for those seeking a "old yet new" luxury stay experience in Shimane.
