Newly Built Forest Retreat for Private Use | Crystal-Clear Stream & Barrel Sauna. Within a 30-minute drive of Gujo Hachiman and Gero Onsen!

A location surrounded by lush forests.On a spacious 3,000-tsubo (9,877-square-foot) property overlooking the pristine Mase River and its tributaries, a newly built structure that blends seamlessly with nature has been created. When you look up at the night sky, it is so full of stars that you can see the Milky Way with your naked eyes. Staying here with your loved ones and friends opens your five senses, soothes your mind and body, and brings new insights and ideas. In addition to summer fun in the river and winter fun in the snow, the Lithuanian barrel sauna and bathing in the spring right in front of the property are highly regarded as a “sauna experience from another dimension.” During the green season, there is an outdoor campfire (a teepee is set up depending on the season), and in winter, there is an indoor wood-burning stove.You can spend a profound moment chatting while gazing at the fire. One of the real charms of this place is gathering around the outdoor BBQ or hot pot. For those who want to escape from everyday life and reconnect with their true selves. We also encourage you to use these facilities for family trips, retreats, and corporate training.Opened in January 2026. We look forward to welcoming guests who will appreciate the atmosphere of this place that we have lovingly created.

90 minutes from Nagoya. An inn where you can have a BBQ while looking at the clear stream in the secluded Marubara. Tent sauna rental for a fee

The cottage is located on the banks of the clear Marukawa River. Gifu is famous for Shirakawago and Hida Takayama, but Enbara is also a nice place in the mountains, although it is inconvenient. The scenery of the mountains and rivers is beautiful, and it is a place rich in nature where monkeys and deer appear. The Enbara River is known as the most beautiful underground water in Japan and a famous spot for its light, and the inn is located about 800 meters from the spring water point of the underground water, so the water transparency is excellent. You can also see the light from the inn. On summer mornings, depending on the weather conditions, you can see a magical view of the sunlight pouring through the trees. The water in the Marukara River is cold, but in summer the children play in the river energetically. The riverbed is much cooler, so people can escape the heat and cool off. A little downstream there are several river play spots, and the water is clear everywhere and it feels good to swim beautifully. The water of the river shines emerald green in a slightly deep place, and the scenery of rocks and moss is also wonderful, and it is a healing spot where the mind is purified. There is a deck facing the river on the second floor of the inn, so you can relax while watching the river, BBQ, swing in a hammock while listening to the river, or refresh yourself in the tent sauna.
