Located on a hill overlooking Kinugawa Onsen, Kinugawa Grand Hotel Yume no Toki no Toki stands amid the tranquil atmosphere of the four seasons. The hotel consists of the main building, the annex Seiryu, and a resort building housing public facilities, and offers a beautiful time with a view of the beautiful Japanese pond garden. The garden, which reflects the changing seasons on the water, is a wonderful sight.

The main building has rooms with good air quality and rooms overlooking the mountains and gardens.

The newly renovated Japanese-Western style room "Pure Wellness Room." The clean indoor air environment of the "Pure Wellness Room" program will have you taking a deep breath. Not only can you get a good night's sleep, but you can also meditate, do yoga, and spend some relaxing time indoors.

The guest rooms in the main building are spacious standard guest rooms with adjoining rooms on the 2nd to 5th floors, while the "Relaxed Floors" on the 6th to 8th floors, overlooking the countryside and beautiful gardens, are equipped with lavishly spacious and appointed "VIP rooms," special rooms on the top floor, stylish luxury twin rooms, and Japanese-Western rooms.
On the seventh floor, five Japanese-Western style rooms have been renovated to create special wellness rooms. Equipped with Airdog air purifiers to protect against pollen and house dust, the twin beds also feature Airweave pads. This provides a high-quality air environment that will help you relax and get a deep sleep. From the balcony, you can enjoy a soothing view of the green mountain range and Kinugawa Onsen town. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you can enjoy a peaceful Kinugawa resort stay.

The Seiryu Annex offers premium guest rooms where you can enjoy the tranquility of the garden.

The elegant Annex Seiryu has three types of guest rooms, all with balconies overlooking the garden.
The Yume no Toki premium space, the top-class special guest room "Kamu-ri" located on the first floor, creates an especially elegant stay. The approximately 109 m2 space is reminiscent of a villa, with an 8-tatami Japanese-style room, a living room, two bedrooms, a powder room, and two toilets.
The ripples on the water's surface, the rustling of the trees... you can enjoy the quiet flow of time here. You can also do nothing in luxury or read a book as you like. We recommend this place for anniversaries, celebrations, and for families of three generations.

The finest seasonal kaiseki course, "Shungokoro Kaiseki," allows you to enjoy Head Chef Sugai's masterful skills with your eyes and tongue, and is a top-class dish unique to Yume no Toki that specializes in cuisine. Many people visit for this delicacy.

Relaxation that awakens the senses in the Kinugawa River, overflowing with "pure energy"

A Japanese pond garden can be seen from the corridor. You can't help but stop and take in the gentle expressions of the changing seasons.

Blessed by nature, the Kinugawa River is said to be overflowing with purified "pure chi." At the spa, KAIKA, you can entrust your body and mind to that chi. The spa skin care "chi to sé true," made with fermented rice bran, Japanese herbal ingredients, and hot spring water, moisturizes and brightens the skin, and lulls you into a deep sleep. This is a supreme spa experience that awakens the five senses and restores balance to the body, mind, and spirit. We recommend it as a treat for yourself, a gift trip, or for couples.
At the garden terrace and lounge overlooking the Japanese garden, you can spend a pleasant time feeling the breeze and light of the Kinugawa River while enjoying original chiffon cakes and seasonal parfaits. There is also an athletics corner where the whole family can enjoy bouldering and mini-basketball.
