The famous sulfur spring water is said to alleviate sensitivity to cold, mild asthma, and fatigue, as well as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis vulgaris, chronic eczema, epidermal pyogenesis, and peripheral circulation disorders. Visitors to Beppu have long favored its therapeutic waters and picturesque setting.

The bathing areas in each guestroom are works of art in themselves. Each one features custom-made Mino ware tiles that have a rustic appearance and texture. The bathtub, carved from solid stone, is a perfect match for the sulfuric spring water of Horita Onsen. The synergistic effect of the heat of the hot spring water accumulates in the stone and radiates back to warm body and soul.
