The charm of Takefuye is the room baths that will take your breath away.
Basically, all rooms are equipped with a bath with free-flowing hot-spring water and a sunken hearth.
Some of the room baths are large cypress baths with a single piece 5 meters in length, and others are open-air cave baths.
The baths are so luxurious that one might say, “I really want to have this all to myself.
In addition, there are three private open-air baths: the “Takebayashi no Yu” surrounded by a bamboo grove, the “Okuno-yu” with a rock bath, and the “Cave Open-air Bath” that looks like you visited a secret place.
The hot spring water is a medical spring that is rich in metasilicic acid, which is also expected to have medical benefits.
It will make your skin smooth.

Dinner is a creative kaiseki meal that changes monthly.
Dining around the hearth brings people closer together and creates a more relaxed atmosphere.
Most of the dishes are made of bamboo, and the thoroughness of the design is nothing short of magnificent.
The drinks in the refrigerator, of course, are a delight, as are the stone bowls filled with ramune (Japanese sweetened soda) placed in various places. There is also a service where you can float a tub in the bathtub and enjoy a glass of sake, all free of charge. You will never be thirsty at this inn.
