Stiated 10,000㎡ of beatiful countryside near by famous Koiwai Farm.
ARCADIA comprises tow special buildings.

★The first is a white Pension-style guest house. Secondly, we have a small German-style hotel.
Finally, there is an octagonal, natural hot spring water spa bath house.

★Amazingly discovered while we were digging a well, our mildly alkaline hot spring waters soothe away
the aches and pains of a tiring day, and leave a lady's skin feeling soft and smooth.
Our area of Iwate, which is called ”Gokurakuno”, means ”the field of paradise”.

★So we have named our hot spring "Gokuraku-no-yu". So we think you will agree that our choice of
”Arcadia” as the name of our pension perfectly reflects the rural paradise that awaits our visitors.
Whatever the season, you will enjoy the delights of the Japanese countryside.
