dining

Meals are centered around a famous local delicacy—eel from Lake Hamana, historical mecca for eel farmers due to its temperate climate and high quality water.

Eel is slowly grilled in a sweet sauce and served with seasonal fare, best enjoyed with some local Shizuoka sake.

Dinners consist of multi-course kaiseki meals that include visually pleasing dishes made with seasonal ingredients.

Mornings begin with a set meal featuring an aromatic rice soup prepared with sencha green tea.

wellness

Rooms are connected to the bath halls by a roofed corridor. Bath halls include a bath featuring floating baskets of tea leaves. Vitamins and other compounds contained in the leaves help rejuvenate the skin, while the leaves’ aroma soothes the mind.

There is also a large outdoor bath constructed from high-quality cypress.

Tea
The second most famous tea in Japan is Sencha, which is the ultimate Japanese green tea. Did you know that the leaves are picked and immediately steamed to prevent any oxidation of the leaves and then processed on a heated work surface to a temperature of 40-50° until they are completely dry?
The operation may take 4-7 hours. Only about 100 grams of tea is obtained at the most. Consequently, you will better understand the sales price of this green gold. During your stay in the Shizuoka Prefecture, a tea-growing region bordering the Pacific Ocean not far from Mount Fuji.
To really appreciate the tea you infuse it in water at 80°, since above this temperature, it would take on bitter and tannic notes in the mouth. This fresh and delicate tea is a marvel for whoever appreciates it, but nevertheless does not attract all palates with its admittedly somewhat particular green notes.
Take time to taste this pure and delicate drink, which has played a part in the Japanese lifestyle for centuries.
