Features of HOSHINOYA Guguan
1 Rooms where you can enjoy water flowing directly from the source
Each room has a semi-open-air bath, and guests can enjoy water flowing directly from the natural source of the hot spring at any time and as much as they want. Most rooms are of the maisonette-type and have a hot spring floor. There are windows on either side designed for wind to pass through, so guests can experience a private hot spring with a refreshing breeze even during hot seasons. The windows also overlook the magnificent mountains and the resort water garden.
In addition, the hotel has a space where guests can cool down after taking a bath as well. The bedroom and living room have a large glass window extending from floor to ceiling, enabling guests to enjoy the scenery, changing together with the seasons.
2 Public spaces designed using the hot spring and mountain water
The abundantly flowing waters of the hot spring and the natural spring water of the Taiwan Central Mountain Range are utilized in the design of the public spaces.
As the Guguan Hot Spring provides water without drying up, HOSHINOYA Guguan can secure a stable amount of hot water throughout the year. The water is colorless, tasteless, weakly alkaline, carbonated, and gentle to the skin, which is why it is also called "water for beautiful skin". There is a large public bath in HOSHINOYA Guguan where guests can enjoy the hot spring to their heart's content. With the indoor baths modeled after Japanese onsen hot springs and the open-air baths taking up an innovative design, guests can savor a broad space in which you can feel the nature of Guguan.
In the water garden where water channels are laid, the soothing sounds of water can be heard, and the flowers coloring the channels together with the water flowing between the trees make for a pleasant walk.
After bathing in the hot spring, guests can take a walk in the water garden and spend time leisurely in the Gazebo. (Information source for the Guguan Hot Spring: Taichung City Government Tourism Office).

3 Food tailored to your stay
The hotel has a choice of dishes guests will not tire of even during a long stay. They will be fascinated by food anew through the combination of ingredients used in Taiwan and cooking techniques from Japanese cuisine. For example, the nanbanzuke sturgeon: by briefly deep-frying it in oil to concentrate the umami flavor, a change is brought about in its delicate taste. The flavor obtained by marinating it in the sour nanban-dare sauce goes together exceptionally well with Taiwan's warm and humid climate. Elements of Japanese tradition are incorporated not only in the cooking techniques but in the tableware as well. Japanese cuisine served in porcelain tableware which Japan boasts to the world, such as Kutani, Bizen, and Arita, is a pleasure for the eyes as well.
4 A rich environment where lively nature remains
Guguan is a hot spring located at the foot of the Taiwan Central Mountain Range, which consists of mountains at a height of about 3000 meters. A hot spring flows out in the valley created by the Dajia River, which runs through the central part of Taiwan, and lively nature remains there even now. There is a 1,300 meter-long promenade behind HOSHINOYA Guguan, where guests can enjoy a walk in an environment removed from the bustle of the city. In the middle of the promenade lies an observation deck from which they can overlook Guguan, and see a different landscape depending on the season ---cherry blossoms in spring, and crimson foliage in autumn.
