About Tsubaki
Tsubaki takes its name from the old word for camellia, the town's flower. The building wraps around a garden of moss and maple, and you're welcomed with matcha in the lobby.
Dinner is kaiseki, served in your room. The large baths open onto the Fujiki River, and the corner rooms and the guest house suites have their own open-air tubs. There's a café for house-made sweets, a small bar for after dinner, and a spa with private treatment rooms.
Take the Oku-Yugawara bus to the last stop. Cross the bridge, walk up the slope beside the Tsubaki sign, and you're there. Book through the official site and you can ask for a pickup from the station.
