Further west of Mizukami Onsenkyo in Gunma Prefecture.
Did you know that there is a Relais & Chateaux inn in Tanigawa Onsen, a small hot spring resort?
The villa Senjuan is a member of the Relais & Chateaux.
It is one of only 11 hotels in Japan.
Here, we introduce the charm of Bettei Senjyuan.

Tanigawa, a famous peak coveted by rock climbers, and the refined hospitality that belies its location.
Tanigawa, a mountain peak coveted by rock climbers, and a refined hospitality that belies its location. Perhaps it is because, although the hotel is only 10 minutes from the Mizukami interchange, you are instantly charmed by the unexpectedness of finding such a beautiful inn in such a mountainous area.
As the hotel claims to be a “Japanese resort,” the interior is designed to blend a Western taste with a calm Japanese atmosphere.
From the moment you step into the entrance, the exquisite mix of Japanese and Western tastes will thrill you.

At Senjyuan, we especially want you to pay attention to the 8-meter-high curved corridor.
The two shots of the gently curving corridor and the clear shining moon are definitely worth capturing in a photograph.
Other features such as the Kyo-do clay walls with Susa, Edo Sumi-nagashi, and Kumiko shoji screens, all of which are modern interpretations of traditional Japanese techniques, make you feel as if you are visiting an art museum.
All of the 18 rooms have an open-air bath with free-flowing hot-spring water.
The design of each room is completely different, including a special room with an impressive large circular window, a Japanese-style room with a spacious veranda, and a Western-style room with two double beds.
Each room is truly spacious.
You will be able to stretch your mind and body.

Dinner is a monthly kaiseki meal that changes with the seasons.
The chefs are as particular as anyone about their ingredients, which include Japanese black beef from Jyoshu, rockfish raised in a clear stream, and fresh vegetables, all of which are unique to the region’s dairy farming traditions.
They even change the ingredients and the way of making soup stock depending on the dish.
Breakfast can be either Japanese or Western, whichever you prefer.
The full assortment of dishes makes it difficult to choose one or the other, and it is sure to raise your morning spirits.
