"An extraordinary escape — the hiking trails through the 40-acre estate are stunning and the daily massage was exactly what I needed. The farm-to-table meals felt like part of the wellness program; I left feeling lighter and more energized."

"Impeccable service from check-in to the final farewell. The intimate size of the resort made every experience feel personal, and the Revitalizing Onsen Facial was one of the best facials I've ever had."

"Beautiful, tranquil grounds and a wide variety of wellness classes each day. I wished the thermal circuit was open a bit longer, but the therapists and cuisine more than made up for it."
