Kai Yufuin

Under the concept of “an inn where you can relax in a terraced rice field calendar,” a terraced rice field, one of Yufuin’s original landscapes, spreads out in the center of the inn, reflecting the changing of the seasons.
It is assumed that the inn was highly evaluated for its public spaces and guest rooms where guests can feel the scenery of the terraced rice fields, which are also called the original landscape of Japan, and the large bathhouse with a view of the majestic Mt.

Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture] “Submerged Forest of Lake Shirakawa,” a Mysterious Spring-Only Scene 

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.
