Nestled in the rich natural environment of Shizuoka City, this accommodation provides a special experience, away from the noise of the city, through sauna and lodging. Initially, this location served as a drive-in at the entrance to Umegashima, providing rest for drivers and selling local produce to support the community. The site has been repurposed into a completely new facility combining a sauna-equipped accommodation and a shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opened with the aim of promoting tourism and relocation to Umegashima, the facility highlights its dedication to the Shizuoka region. Incorporating natural hot springs, pristine water, and local ingredients, it invites guests to become not only fans of the inn but also of the region itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
