The "natural hot spring" flows from 800 meters underground. The large bath is equipped with an open-air bath and an indoor bath. You can expect to "relieve stress" and "improve the quality of your sleep." The bath is at a comfortable temperature so you can enjoy a long soak without straining yourself.

It is popular as a "beauty skin bath" and is said to be characterized by its viscous, gentle texture . It won first place in the Kagoshima Prefecture user voting category in the Nifty Hot Springs Annual Rankings 2023.

6. Sound design that immerses you in the nature of Yakushima

The hotel's space is enhanced by sounds that blend the boundaries between people and nature, and the visible and the invisible, woven from the colors and sounds of Yakushima's beautiful, rich nature .

To create the sound, I extracted colors from photographs of the majestic nature of Yakushima and converted them into MIDI signals, and also created rhythms using sounds from nature captured on a recorder.

The taste and tempo of the sound changes smoothly according to the time of day, creating a sound design that always feels fresh and never gets old, enveloping you in the nature of Yakushima .
