The outdoor sauna, jacuzzi, and cold bath add to the relaxing atmosphere, providing a private oasis to unwind while enjoying views of the inner courtyard.
The highlight of HIBIKI is its wintertime log fireplace that sets a tranquil ambiance, perfect for quiet evenings spent enjoying the crackle of firelight. The bedrooms, designed to accommodate up to 14 guests, feature unique skylights that invite gentle early morning light, enhancing the overall sense of openness and comfort.
