♨️Private Onsens and Mountain Views at Kakurean Hidaji

Tucked deep in the forested foothills of Japan’s Northern Alps, Kakurean Hidaji is an adults-only ryokan that blends traditional Hida architecture with quiet luxury and nature. Each of the 12 rooms has its own private indoor cypress bath and open-air onsen, offering the perfect retreat for relaxation.

The Shiraotosou room is especially beautiful, featuring natural wood interiors, a serene terrace, and your own private bath surrounded by greenery. Guests can also enjoy two outdoor open-air baths that can be reserved for private use, both offering stunning views of the mountains and river — an unforgettable experience in every season.

Meals are a highlight here. Dinner and breakfast are served in a private dining room with an irori, a traditional sunken charcoal hearth, where local Hida beef and mountain vegetables are grilled and served with care.

Good to know:
✨The location is tucked away — you’ll likely need to plan transportation carefully, especially if coming from large cities.
✨It’s a premium experience (and price) — worth it if you want the full onsen + design + nature combo.
✨If you love mountain views, hot springs, and quiet elegance, this place will feel like a dream.
