The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!"

As a heads up this is kind of like a campground so you can hear others in their places and the walls of the cabin are a bit thin but didnt cause any problems or disruptions. Definitely a great stay to get away from the busy cities."

Spring brings comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 20°C, making it ideal for exploring the outdoor attractions. The cherry blossoms usually bloom from late March to early April, adding a beautiful touch to the landscape, especially around the streams and traditional villages. It's a lovely time for couples who enjoy scenic walks and a relaxed pace.

Autumn offers similar comfortable temperatures, usually between 15°C and 25°C, and is renowned for its spectacular autumn foliage. The hillsides and valleys transform into a rich tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows, particularly noticeable along the Kuju Mountains and around the various hot springs.

Winter (December to February) brings colder temperatures, often below 5°C, and sometimes snow, which can be picturesque but might limit some outdoor activities.
