Gifu Ena City
A blissful retreat with breathtaking panoramic views of Enakyo and a steam-filled automatic löyly sauna
"Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Enakyo" is a hot spring inn in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture. Its greatest appeal is the location, which looks out over the beautiful panoramic scenery of Enakyo, shaped by magnificent nature. The gender-swapped large baths, "Top Bath" and "Source Bath," each come with a full-fledged dry sauna equipped with automatic löyly. Wrapped in the scent of wood, you can take in the powerful heat with your whole body, then cool down in an ice-cold cold plunge bath. After the sauna, enjoy an exquisite relaxation time on a deck chair on the observation terrace, where a pleasant breeze passes through. The inn also offers a high-quality natural hot spring with a high salt concentration bubbling up from deep underground, as well as moments in a premium private space in the guest room open-air baths.
