The first hot spring resort I stayed at was a 375 year old Hotel that spans a large stream. It is called, Shuzenji Onsen.

This was shot from the reception hall which is built right over the stream.
The meals were fabulous. This was just breakfast!

These next images were shot at a Hakone Yumoto Onsen “Tenseien”. Though modern it was built on an old estate on the side of a mountain.
