In the open-air bath where the sea breeze blows through, you can take in the beautiful scenery created by the sky and sea while listening to the sound of the waves. Far from the bustle of everyday life, you can enjoy an exquisite bathing experience that deeply soothes both body and mind.

A tasteful private open-air bath made of Shigaraki ware, set on the guest room terrace with an ocean view. You can enjoy private bathing as often as you like, whenever you want, without worrying about anyone else watching. Spending time here while taking in the sweeping Pacific Ocean and the soothing sound of the waves, with the sea breeze on your skin, brings the kind of luxurious relaxation that only a resort can offer.

A genuine sauna where you can work up a thorough sweat in a spacious, clean room. Designed for comfort from beginners to enthusiasts, it is carefully planned not only for the balance of heat and humidity, but also for smooth access to the cold plunge bath and rest area. In the quiet space, you can face the heat at your own pace and experience deep relaxation that resets the fatigue and stress of everyday life.

A cold plunge bath with ample depth and space that refreshingly tightens your body after sauna heat. It is easy to move to from the sauna room, so you can pour water over yourself and enter smoothly. After cooling down thoroughly in the cold water, you can sit back in a reclining chair or on a bench and enjoy a blissful rest while feeling the pleasant sea breeze.
