Field notes
1-hour and 20-minute taxi from Kansai Airport (KIX) directly to the resort gates
Located in northern Kyoto, the resort sits in a secluded valley. A personal host meets you on arrival to guide you along the forest paths.
Natural Spring Onsen Bathing
The resort features indoor and outdoor hot spring baths fed by natural springs. Visit the onsen at 9:00 PM for a quiet, star-lit soak under the forest canopy.
Ultra-minimalist architecture & Northern Isolation
Villas feature very clean, minimalist wood structures with paper screens, which some guests find stark. The northern location means reaching downtown Kyoto requires a 25-minute taxi.
