"A 15-room retreat tucked within a bamboo grove near the Katsura Imperial Villa in Shizuoka prefecture, built in the Sukiya-zukuri teahouse style with bell-shaped windows, sliding doors, and tatami mats. Some rooms feature private outdoor spaces overlooking quiet ponds, and the onsen program includes several private baths filled with mineral-rich volcanic water plus a large open-air communal bath that borders a mossy forest, creating a meditative, nature-focused stay." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H.
