Relax and enjoy a leisurely time at our inn. ◎Each unit includes a private entrance and a semi-open-air bath, a garden, and a fully private space for your exclusive use. At the northern foothills of Mount Fuji, known as one of the most powerful spiritual spots in Japan, flows a strong energy current originating from the summit, forming a rich dragon vein. In feng shui, it is believed that this dragon vein flows northward and eastward, eventually reaching Edo Castle. In Oshino Village, where you can admire Mount Fuji—said to possess immense power even in photographs—up close, our inn also benefits from the blessings of this great energy flow. We are confident that this place will allow visitors to fully experience the energy of the earth that rejuvenates travelers.
