This facility was developed to meet the recent growing demand for 'retreats' and 'wellness-oriented travel.'

'Over the MOON' offers a retreat experience to restore mind and body on a hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea and its islands.

'Over the MOON' is a three-room retreat-style auberge with the concept of providing 'joy that soars beyond the moon.'
