As the resort is surrounded by nature in the highlands, you’ll get to breathe cool, fresh air each morning. Misty clouds that envelope the villas on the property, coupled with the wooden and bamboo materials, gives the entire resort a zen-like charm.

A highlight in the villas are the private spa baths – think onsens – fitted in each room, which stays true to its Japanese concept. They can be found on the terrace, so you can enjoy soaking in hot bubbly water over serene views of nature.
