The calming atmosphere of a Japanese-style bath

Overnight guests can savor a kaiseki (traditional Japanese multi-course) meal featuring Wakayama’s best from land and sea

The Kikyo room in the Happu-an annex comes with a private open-air bath

This hot spring resort located at the base of Mount Koya allows you to soak in four varieties of source waters. One in particular is dubbed “fossil seawater”: water from the ocean that tens of thousands of years have turned into brownish-red hot-spring water with a salt concentration among the highest of any in Japan. You can enjoy the hot spring for the day, or treat yourself to a night in the guest rooms, some of which have their own private open-air bath.
