“Mitsumine Kami no Yu,” boasting one of the highest mineral concentrations in the Kanto region: We use water from “Otaki Onsen-Mitsumine Kami no Yu.” This renowned onsen boasts major ionic components that far exceed the average, and its total mineral content ranks among the highest in the Kanto region (5,892 mg per kg).

Heartfelt hospitality: Creative cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients and our comprehensive in-house services will make your evening even more special.
