It is a beautiful facility that was rebuilt several years ago.I stayed without meals so I don't know about the meals.It was nice to have a hot spring bath.When going from Tokushima, please be careful as there are fallen branches on the road.

A quiet inn located about 30 minutes from Monet's garden.I wasn't expecting much, but the food was overall delicious.The bath is surrounded by nature and cold springs, so I thought it would be better if it had a sauna.It's a bit disappointing that the hot water smells like chlorine.

The bath is alkaline and you can enjoy the slimy feeling, and the outdoor bath at night is very pleasant as you can look at the stars in the night sky.Also, the food was delicious, and pairing it with local alcohol made it even more satisfying.Regarding access, it was difficult to drive as some of the national roads from Nahari are narrow, but I felt it was well worth the trip. (The road leading to the hot springs seems to be undergoing improvement work.)

I used it on a trip with my mother.It's deep in the mountains, so access is a little inconvenient, but the accommodation and food were very good.My mother was also very satisfied.In particular, the shabu-shabu served with just yuzu juice was really delicious.It was my first experience eating it with just yuzu juice, but it would be no exaggeration to say that it was the best shabu-shabu I've ever eaten.I would definitely use it again!

The location is deep in the mountains, so it's a little inconvenient, but it's beautiful and full of greenery.The rice comes with delicious fish and vegetables from Kochi, so you can fully enjoy Kochi.I stayed in a room with an open-air bath, so it was very relaxing.Since I was traveling with a child, I thought it would be more comfortable to have room meals.

It's empty, and every time I go, I enjoy being reserved. Feeling the majestic nature in the open-air bath is truly soothing. Yuzu souvenirs are also delicious.

I visited the hot springs for a day trip.The hot springs were thick and there was no sauna, but there was a cold bath and we enjoyed taking turns bathing.It was quiet and relaxing deep in the mountains.

I have never had such delicious and elegant food at a hot spring inn deep in the mountains. Not only is it delicious, but it is also very elegant and delicate. The staff are also very attentive, kind, and pleasant, so I always feel at ease. The mountain roads along the way are narrow, so I'm nervous about driving, but I already know it's a good place, so I enjoy driving on the mountain roads. The hot water is smooth and gentle on your skin, and you'll want to stay in it forever. I always go with Monet's garden as a set. I left after finishing an early breakfast, so I was in time for Monet's Garden to open.

Anyway, the road to get there is narrow.There aren't many people, so you can soak in the water slowly.
