A brief guide to hot springs, dining, and travel directions.
Facilities🎌・Hot Springs♨️
The 4,500-tsubo (approx. 14,864 m²) grounds are graced by a flowing river and surrounded by lush natural vegetation. The property features 13 buildings, including the main house and detached cottages—relocated traditional farmhouses, Japanese-style and Western-style buildings—each designed to frame the natural landscape as a work of art. These elegant spaces blend Japanese aesthetics with the beauty of Asia and Europe, promising a serene and private retreat.
Six Private Baths with Seasonal Views
Six private baths (No. 1 through No. 7), each with its own unique ambiance. The simple hot spring water is said to be effective for neuralgia, fatigue recovery, rheumatism, and nervous disorders.
13 Buildings on Expansive Grounds
Detached cottages range from relocated traditional farmhouses to Japanese- and Western-style buildings, blending Japanese, Asian, and European aesthetics across nearly 15,000 m² of riverside grounds.
Dining🍣
Both breakfast and dinner are served at “Chisou-an,” a dining venue housed in a 150-year-old building relocated from Niigata. The original Japanese kaiseki cuisine is meticulously crafted from seasonal vegetables and ingredients sourced from Kyushu and Oita— from the ingredients themselves to the cooking methods and presentation.
Low-Temperature Oita Wagyu Sirloin Steak
Specializing in low-temperature cooking, the kitchen produces a tender Oita Wagyu sirloin steak—an innovative signature dish you won’t find anywhere else.
Seki-Aji from the Bungo Channel
Seki-aji (horse mackerel) from the Bungo Channel, a renowned Oita brand fish, highlights the kaiseki alongside seasonal Kyushu vegetables and ingredients.
