Indulge in a tranquil escape where nature and modern design exist in perfect harmony, surrounded by the majestic peaks and pristine underground waters of the Daisetsuzan range.

Perched on the scenic slopes of Mt. Kitoushi, Kitoushi Forest Kitoron is a striking hot spring resort that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. Designed by world-renowned architect Kuma Kengo, the resort features warm interiors filled with the refreshing scent of wood and custom furniture crafted by local artisans from Higashikawa. At the first-floor restaurant, guests can savor dishes prepared with the town’s renowned pure groundwater and fresh vegetables sourced directly from nearby farms.

The panoramic baths offer a rejuvenating soak in mineral-rich Toron hot springs overlooking patchwork fields and rolling mountains. Finnish-style saunas with four unique themes invite deep relaxation as the sound of water on hot stones and gentle waves of heat envelop the body. Afterward, cool down in a cold bath fed by pure mountain water maintained at around 13°C, its silky texture offering a sensation unique to this region. Conclude your visit on the observation deck, feeling the mountain breeze as you drift into quiet serenity away from everyday life.
