Amagase Onsen, Oita Prefecture – 1 hour and 30 mins from Fukuoka by car.
If you go a little into the mountains from there you will find the Japanese inn Sanso Tensui.

Sanso Tensui features Sakura Falls, a famous spot of Amagase, the main building that emphasizes the location along the flow of the Goraku River, open-air baths, private baths, and Japanese-style rooms. In 2017, special suites with spacious terrace, open-air bath, and indoor bath were completed. Please enjoy the hot springs and food in the private space without being bothered by anyone else to your heart’s content.

Various trees are planted on the vast site along the mountain stream.
Walking among the trees that almost cover the building, you pass the approach from the parking lot to the entrance.
