Baths and Onsen
The bath is a quasi-natural onsen that uses Komeiseki, a natural mineral stone that releases hot-spring components, and its benefits are the same as those of onsen water. There are baths you can use privately, such as an in-room open-air bath or a private-hire bath, and because the whole property is rented to a single group, there is no chance of your bathing time overlapping with that of other guests.
Family-Friendly Points
Children are counted as one person from age 2. As the whole property is rented to a single group, families with small children can relax without worrying about other guests. The house is in the mountains, so insects may appear, and insecticide is provided in the room just in case. Fireworks are limited to handheld fireworks in the designated area, and guests are asked to refrain from aerial fireworks.
