Cave Onsen Experience: Explore in a cave bath + open-air bath

The cave bath that appears beyond the rising steam evokes a sense of excitement, as if you've stumbled upon a hidden paradise. The space surrounded by large rocks is easily captured in photographs, and it's a famous spot that instantly conveys the essence of "Japanese hot springs." Stepping out into the open air, the air suddenly changes, and you become more attuned to the sounds of nature. The contrast of light during the day and the tranquility at night are striking, and the way the atmosphere changes depending on the time of day further stimulates the wanderlust.

Local ingredients from Kuju x Kaiseki cuisine: Food that elevates your travel experience.

What elevates the enjoyment after a bath is the kaiseki meal featuring ingredients from Kuju. The dishes, which carefully combine the blessings of the land, impress with their "depth of flavor" rather than their flashiness. The gentle flavors that seep into a body relaxed by the hot springs are sure to enhance the satisfaction of your trip.
