Newly Built Forest Retreat for Private Use | Crystal-Clear Stream & Barrel Sauna. Within a 30-minute drive of Gujo Hachiman and Gero Onsen!
A location surrounded by lush forests.On a spacious 3,000-tsubo (9,877-square-foot) property overlooking the pristine Mase River and its tributaries, a newly built structure that blends seamlessly with nature has been created. When you look up at the night sky, it is so full of stars that you can see the Milky Way with your naked eyes. Staying here with your loved ones and friends opens your five senses, soothes your mind and body, and brings new insights and ideas. In addition to summer fun in the river and winter fun in the snow, the Lithuanian barrel sauna and bathing in the spring right in front of the property are highly regarded as a “sauna experience from another dimension.” During the green season, there is an outdoor campfire (a teepee is set up depending on the season), and in winter, there is an indoor wood-burning stove.You can spend a profound moment chatting while gazing at the fire. One of the real charms of this place is gathering around the outdoor BBQ or hot pot. For those who want to escape from everyday life and reconnect with their true selves. We also encourage you to use these facilities for family trips, retreats, and corporate training.Opened in January 2026. We look forward to welcoming guests who will appreciate the atmosphere of this place that we have lovingly created.
