Environment
The World Heritage Site Arafune Cave is a natural refrigerator where silkworm eggs were stored in the past.
In cooperation with the people of the Tomioka Silk Mill and others, it has a history of producing high-quality cocoon and changing the richness of world fashion and culture. At Arafune Wind Cave, visitors can still experience the same cool breeze as in those days.
Reviews
It was truly the best stay ever! The air bathing under the stars was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The facilities are new, very stylish and clean, and I could feel the attention to detail everywhere. I would definitely stay there again next year! Thank you very much!

I think this place is for people who know how to enjoy the scenery and silence after a hectic life in the city or at work.

I visited here in the summer and the weather was great, around 30℃. I think winter time is the best time to visit.
The sauna is spectacular. The gym room is special, it contains mirrored smart fitness devices and has large massage chairs. The projector is also a wonderful experience. My daughters love it the most!
Thank you for your hospitality!
