All 38 guest rooms are thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding landscape, offering views of snow-covered ski slopes in winter and sunlit green mountains in summer. The interiors feature warm wood tones and elegant finishes across seven distinct room types, five of which include hinoki baths facing the slopes. Guests can enjoy moments of pure relaxation in the lounge, take in sweeping mountain views from the rooftop terrace during the green season, and unwind in the hot spring bathhouse featuring both rock and hinoki tubs, complete with sauna.
