🌳 Entering a Magical Realm
As your car passes through a 50-meter bamboo tunnel, it feels like you've entered a mystical boundary! The lobby features a giant blue painting by a Japanese artist, instantly evoking a luxurious "no need to fly to Japan" vibe. To top it off, you're welcomed with chilled oolong tea served in glasses with condensation beads, perfectly complementing the misty hot spring atmosphere—absolutely refreshing!
♨️ Private Onsen Bliss
The guest rooms are duplex-designed, with the bedroom downstairs and an entire semi-open-air hot spring area upstairs! Turn on the silver faucet, and weak alkaline carbonated spring water bubbles out. It's colorless and odorless, but after soaking, your skin feels smoother than a baby's bottom. The ultimate indulgence is soaking naked at dawn: lying in the hot spring, gazing at mountain silhouettes and stars, while sipping complimentary "Xinyi Township Plum Wine." With 18% alcohol and a tangy plum aroma, the warmth flows from your throat to your toes—so satisfying you won't want to sleep!
🍣 Culinary Masterpieces
Dinner features Japanese kaiseki cuisine, where the chef transforms Taiwanese ingredients into Japanese magic: red radish paired with powdered mullet roe in hand-rolled sushi, bursting with salty freshness; grilled eel served with chilled plum-flavored somen noodles, a hot-and-cold contrast with cherry tomatoes to cleanse the palate! The highlight is the breakfast bowl of dried scallop congee, where you can freely add pork floss and century egg—turning a simple dish into a luxurious feast!
