A Stay with a Sense of Place

A Private Sanctuary of Bamboo and Healing Waters

Much of the main concept of the hotel revolves around bamboo, inspired by the ancient Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, one of Japan’s oldest folk tales (adapted into the Academy Award-nominated film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya in 2013) in which the beautiful Princess Kaguya is discovered inside a stalk of bamboo. Each of the nine exclusive rooms within Kinnotake Sengokuhara possesses its own unique design, with bamboo and other types of wood featuring prominently.

Each room is also equipped with its own private open-air onsen from which you can gaze out into the surrounding bamboo groves throughout the seasons as you lay back and relax. The waters for these onsen are drawn from the nearby Owakudani Valley, giving them a milky color and silky feel that is said to do wonders for the skin. Kinnotake Sengokuhara also offers special anniversary arrangements such as towel art and message plates, ensuring a peaceful and memorable stay as you celebrate a meaningful occasion with your loved one. If you would like to request these options, please inform us at the time of booking.
