    [Three major maternity benefits included] Relax in [Breakfast] [Dinner]

    "Are you enjoying your pregnancy?" You often hear this question, but do you feel vaguely anxious or worried about many things? But even so, the joy of having a child is still wonderful. The joy of mom and dad will surely be conveyed to the baby. This is a special pregnancy plan for those who are in good health and working hard towards childbirth. We have selected three special benefits that mothers who have given birth before were happy about! The room has an open-air bath with a view of Mt. Tanigawa, so you can relax and enjoy the hot spring as many times as you like. There is also a bed in the room, so you can lie down whenever you feel tired. Especially for couples who are expecting their first child, it will be a while before they can travel together! We will support you to make your trip the best memory you can have♪ ■Three great benefits 1: Comfortable to sleep in♪ "Maternity cushion & room wear" provided 2: "Caffeine-free coffee" provided for a relaxing break 3: "Soft drinks" provided instead of aperitifs ■Food For dinner, we will prepare the "seasonal Shikisai Kaiseki" that has earned us the nickname "Gourmet Inn". The first dish is a dish made with Joshu beef. For breakfast, we will prepare a "Japanese meal set". *The menu will be prepared according to the regular menu, but please let us know in advance if there are any ingredients that you cannot eat, such as raw foods. ■Meal location 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 separate large baths for men and women (ancient cypress baths) and an adjacent open-air bath (rock bath with Tanigawadake view). *Regarding bathing during pregnancy Many pregnant women have visited and bathed at our facility, but there have been no problems. The hot springs are very gentle on the skin. If you have any concerns, please consult a doctor in advance. If you do choose to bathe, pleas

    [A special holiday overlooking Mt. Tanigawa] Seaso [Breakfast] [Dinner]

    Have you decided your plans for the New Year, Golden Week, and Obon? This plan is only available on certain days and can only be paid for in advance by credit card. In Japan, the beauty of the four seasons can be seen in the everyday scenes. Our hotel is particular about everything from design to service so that you can enjoy the beauty of the seasons to the fullest, which we often take for granted and miss. From your room, you can see the great nature of Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, including Mt. Tanigawa, one of the 100 famous mountains in Japan. Another recommended point is that you can experience the blessings of nature with your skin. The hot spring is a natural hot spring that has been carefully selected and has received a perfect score of 5 points in all categories from the Japan Hot Spring Association. No water is added or heated, so please enjoy the "original charm of hot springs" that overflow from three sources. ■Food For dinner, we will prepare the "seasonal Shikisai Kaiseki" course, which is the reason why we are called a "gourmet inn." The first dish is a dish made with Joshu beef. For breakfast, we will prepare a "Japanese meal set." ■Dining Dinner and breakfast can be enjoyed at Shikitei or Hazukitei (both private dining rooms). Please note that you cannot specify the location. ■Bath There is a large bath (ancient cypress bath) and an adjacent open-air bath (rock bath, Tanigawadake view) for men and women. You can bathe any time until 9:30 the next morning. ■Check-in 14:00 (last check-in 18:00) / Check-out 10:30
