"A luxury Japanese-style mountain retreat about an hour from Taichung, with 49 rooms each featuring semi-open-air hot spring tubs and a selection of outdoor pools (some gender-separated) for alfresco soaking. The property emphasizes serenity and seasonal beauty—cherry blossoms in spring and colorful leaves in autumn—making it a high-end option for those seeking a peaceful, nature-focused hot-spring getaway." - Clarissa Wei
