Awaji Tanada -no-YuTanada, known in English as terraced rice fields, harken back to Old Japan. Awaji Tanada-no-Yu brings unique pride to our hotel, with its three-tiered bath. In the ancient Kojiki chronicle, Awaji was known as "the island where the crop god lives", and its climate and terrain were well-suited for the cultivation of rice. To this day, Awaji still yields a very generous rice crop, and in this spirit, we created this terraced bath as an homage to Awaji`s past.
