Check availability Official websiteThe cornerstone of wellness at Hiiragiya Hotel is the traditional Japanese bathing experience. Guest rooms feature baths with tubs crafted from fragrant Japanese umbrella pine wood (Kōyamaki), a material prized in Japan for its natural aromatics and connection to wellness traditions. These tubs are filled with pure underground water drawn from the property's own source, providing a bathing ritual that honors centuries-old Japanese practices.
The bathing experience is more than a functional necessity in Japanese culture—it is a ceremonial act of restoration and mindfulness. The quality of materials and water at Hiiragiya Hotel reflects the property's commitment to providing an authentic wellness experience grounded in these traditions.
