Since its founding, the hotel has reportedly been owned and maintained by the same family for 52 generations. It has been steadily modernised as it has been passed down through the years, yet it has maintained its distinct personality and prismatic appeal.
In terms of the hotel’s modernization, its rooms now have all of the current and expanded conveniences that visitors might want, and the alterations were made without sacrificing the pleasant and tranquil ambience.
According to records, Fujiwara Mahito built the inn over 1300 years ago, and it has remained in the Fujiwara family ever since. Despite the fact that the hotel has been modernised throughout the years, the breathtaking vistas and calming hot springs remain the major attractions.
