~ A luxurious private hot spring experience featuring a "Colorful Foliage Champagne Cocktail" after your bath ~
Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu Hotel, the only resort hotel built along the Oirase Gorge, will offer "Autumn's Luxurious Open-Air Bath with Colorful Foliage" from October 25th to November 10th, 2024. Guests can enjoy bathing to their heart's content while gazing at the picturesque autumn leaves, reminiscent of a painting. This luxurious private hot spring service allows guests to admire the stunning scenery of colorful foliage and a waterfall from a prime relaxation spot, and savor the original "Colorful Foliage Champagne Cocktail" inspired by the scent and colors of autumn leaves after their bath.
Background
In autumn, the Oirase Gorge, which flows through Towada-Hachimantai National Park, transforms into a vivid canvas with over 100 types of trees, including beech and katsura, turning golden, vermilion, and crimson. Renowned as one of Japan's premier autumn foliage destinations, the Oirase Gorge attracts approximately 620,000 tourists (*1) during this season. This service was conceived with the desire to allow guests to fully enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery in a private setting, indulging in the luxury of both hot springs and colorful foliage at the same time.

Feature 1: Exclusive Use of an Open-Air Bath Surrounded by Nature and Colorful Foliage
This service offers exclusive use of the open-air bath "Yae Kokonoe no Yu" for one group per day. Yae Kokonoe no Yu is a scenic open-air bath with a rustic atmosphere, surrounded by vibrant and beautiful autumn foliage. Guests can immerse themselves in nature, with colorful leaves and a 7-meter-tall waterfall right before their eyes, while listening to the murmuring of the water, the rustling of leaves, and the songs of wild birds. Soaking in the abundant hot spring water filled with "Yu no Hana" (mineral deposits) while enjoying the exclusive view of the autumn leaves is a blissful experience that cannot be found in the city.
Feature 2: Enchanting Illumination that Deepens the Colors of the Autumn Foliage [Power Up]
At dusk, special lighting will be used to enhance the beauty and vividness of the autumn leaves, whose colors change daily. By illuminating the leaves with light wavelengths similar to the colors of autumn foliage, the colors will appear even thicker and more vibrant. This special presentation allows guests to enjoy a fantastical autumn foliage spectacle that cannot be seen during the day.
Feature 3: The Ultimate Reserved Seat for Viewing Autumn Leaves While Soaking in the Hot Spring [Power Up]
A special reserved seat has been prepared to allow guests to fully appreciate the scenery while relaxing in the hot spring. From this seat, guests can lie down and enjoy a panoramic view of the autumn leaves overhead. Whether you want to monopolize the view of the autumn leaves while lying down or relax your entire body while enjoying the hot spring, this reserved seat offers a blissful moment to soothe your mind and body.
Feature 4: After the Bath, Indulge in a Luxurious Moment with Various Drinks and the "Colorful Foliage Champagne Cocktail" [Power Up]
To ensure a luxurious experience even after warming up in the hot spring, our hotel sommelier has prepared a variety of drinks. The highlight is the "Colorful Foliage Champagne Cocktail," inspired by the scent and colors of autumn leaves. This cocktail uses Champagne and "Vin de Paille," a rich wine made from dried grapes with a concentrated flavor, offering a sweet and complex aroma of honey and spices. The scent is reminiscent of the "Katsura" tree, which releases a caramel-like sweet fragrance in the Oirase Gorge during autumn. The cocktail has a pale red color, gradually changing to a vivid hue, mirroring the gradation of the autumn leaves as they change color.
