Refresh your mind and rejoice your body. The first hot spring workcation at Nagato Yumoto Onsen, the oldest hot spring resort in Yamaguchi Prefecture

Comfortable teleworking at "Kai Nagato"

Choosing the right inn is important when doing a toji workation. There are several stately hot spring inns in Nagato Yumoto Onsen, but the most recommended for workation is Hoshino Resorts' "Kai Nagato," where you can spend blissful private time.

The inn opened in March 2020. Located at the entrance to the hot spring town, it is a comfortable, Japanese-modern hot spring inn with the theme of a "feudal lord's teahouse mansion."

There are 30 standard guest rooms in the "Main Building" and 10 special rooms with open-air baths in the "Annex." All rooms in the Main Building can accommodate three people. The overall spacious design allows you to stretch out and relax.

And the most recommended feature is the spacious desk! The rooms in the main building are equipped with wide desks, so you can work stress-free with not only your computer but also documents spread out at your fingertips. There are also plenty of power outlets throughout the rooms, so you'll never have trouble charging your devices.

Additionally, the guest rooms on the first floor of the annex, which are equipped with open-air baths, are also recommended as work spots.

There is a desk surrounded by walls on all four sides, perfect for working alone in peace. The floor is a sunken kotatsu, which reduces fatigue.

If you get tired of staying in your room staring at your computer, why not head over to the Travel Library, a shared space exclusively for guests?

Of the 19 KAI brand locations across the country, KAI Nagato has the largest travel library. If you use it as a work spot, you can work comfortably in a spacious space.

Another great feature is that the Travel Library offers free coffee, tea, and local sweets 24 hours a day.

Once you've finished work, you can head straight to the hot springs. This is the best part of touji workcation.

Kai Nagato's large public baths are divided into two types: an indoor bath and an open-air bath. The indoor bath has two tubs, a large one and a small one, but the smaller one is lukewarm water that is not circulated. On the other hand, the larger tub is hotter hot spring water that is heated to 42 degrees. Alternating between the large and lukewarm waters promotes blood circulation and helps to recover from fatigue.

The spring quality is alkaline simple hot spring. It is a soft, viscous "beautiful skin water." Compared to other "Kai brands," KAI Nagato has the highest alkalinity (pH 9.9). It is extremely effective at removing dead skin cells from the skin, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and smooth after bathing.

The open-air bath will melt away the mental fatigue that has built up over the years. Bathing in the bath while feeling the pleasant breeze is a moment that will help you forget about your daily life. Not only will it relieve the stiffness in your body, it will also revitalize your mind.

Another enjoyable feature of this inn is the sumptuous dinner that will fill your throbbing stomach.

At KAI Nagato, you can enjoy a kaiseki meal while admiring traditional crafts. One of the dishes we recommend is the "Horakumori" which is a combination of sashimi and hassun, which goes well with sake. Each and every ingredient is carefully selected and delicious! Enjoying a leisurely meal will help you reset the fatigue of the day.
