Open-Air Bath
The open-air bath sits on the second-floor deck, with views of Mount Yōtei. Inspired by traditional Japanese gardens, the space weaves stone, water, plants, and negative space into a balanced whole. Here, guests are invited to experience the changing seasons and let nature gently restore body and mind.

Sustainability
The architectural design follows the philosophy of minimalism. Locally sourced stone is left in its natural state, preserving its raw texture and grounding the structure in the culture and memory of the land. This approach not only honors the spirit of the site but also reduces material use and long-term maintenance.
