Two private family baths — 'Hikari' in stone with a view of the Kurokawa hills and 'Hana' in cypress — free for staying guests whenever free, around the clock
The private bath works like this: you book it, it's yours. Door closed, steam up, nobody else's schedule anywhere near you. Take the late slot — night air on wet skin is the whole point.
Private-bath and water facts were checked against the property's official site and Japanese booking pages in November 2026. Room plans change — confirm the private bath is included in the plan you book.
