Located in Tanizakibana at the southern tip of Yakushima, surrounded by majestic mountains such as Mt. Mocchomu and the great ocean. The hotel has a total of 46 guest rooms with great views, including mountain view twin rooms (30m2), ocean view twin rooms (30m2), ocean view premium rooms (60m2), and Japanese-style rooms with a bath with a view (60m2).
On the first floor, there is a large public bath and an open-air bath overlooking the ocean stretching from the East China Sea to the Pacific Ocean, where guests can soak in natural hot spring water of mellow, beauty essence-like quality.
The restaurant offers a Japanese-Western course dinner featuring carefully selected local ingredients and a nutritionally balanced breakfast buffet. The hotel also has a library corner with information on sightseeing in Yakushima and a washing area for hiking shoes.
