Or perhaps this hotel is the perfect stage for a one-and-only creative wedding.
Lying along the Kiso River at the foot of Inuyama Castle is Inuyama City's oldest accommodation: Akariya Geihanro. All rooms are suite-style with semi outdoor baths and available to 10 groups a day. While long-standing, the facilities incorporate modern design thanks to renovations in recent years. Guest rooms show stunning scenery such as that of Inuyama Castle perched high above the Kiso River and Inuyama's gorgeous views from large windows.

Kakujoro lies on a nearly 3,000-m2 property, and its main building of wooden construction, constructed in 1925, fills the air with the aromas of its timber. The Suijoro and Unjoro rooms with their own private outdoor baths and Izutsuro, a 200-year-old lodging establishment reborn, were all remodeled in 2005. The four facilities offer a premium air of Japanese culture and offer their relaxing aura for you to do absolutely nothing without a bit of guilt.

Hida Beef and choice seasonal ingredients make for the cherry on top, constituting the chef's selection of a kaiseki course meal.
Hazu Gassho is available to only five groups per day, adding to its serene atmosphere—a welcome getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Hazu Gassho blends in with the surrounding village with an at-home aura and each room has its own personality: those with their own outdoor baths, sunken floor tables with heaters for the cold, and other Japanese styles.
