    [Limited time offer] Enjoy the four seasons at a m [Breakfast] [Dinner]

    "Cherry blossoms bloom in spring, dragonflies fly in summer, leaves turn red in autumn, and snow falls in winter." In Japan, the beauty of the four seasons can be seen in the everyday scenes. We are particular about the design and service of our hotel so that you can enjoy the "beauty of the seasons" to the fullest, which we often overlook because we take it for granted. All rooms offer a view of the great nature of the "Joshinetsu Kogen National Park", including "Tanigawadake", one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. ■Food For dinner, we will prepare the "seasonal Shikisai Kaiseki", which is the reason why we are called a "gourmet inn". The first dish is a dish of Joshu beef. For breakfast, we will prepare a "Japanese meal set". ■About children's meals and prices Elementary school students will be served almost the same meals as adults, and children's meals (children's lunch) will be prepared for infants. If elementary school children wish to have children's meals, they can use the facility at the infant rate, so please include them in the number of people for preschoolers (meals and bedding). Children from age 0 will be charged, so please add them to the number of children. If a child cannot be confirmed at the time of reservation, the payment will be made on-site. ■Meal locations Dinner and breakfast will be served at Shikitei or Hazukitei (both private dining rooms). Please note that you cannot specify the location. ■Baths There are large public baths (ancient cypress baths) and an attached open-air bath (rock bath with Tanigawadake view) for men and women. Please enjoy the magnificent scenery and the 100% natural hot spring water that you can drink from the spout. You can bathe at any time until 9:30 the next morning. ■Check-in 14:00 (last order 18:00) / Check-out 10:30
