EXPERIENCE
HOT SPRING
Hot Spring Baths that
Refresh and Rejuvenate
The baths at HOSHINOYA Guguan are supplied with soft low-alkaline, hydrogen carbonate hot spring waters* that provide a wealth of skincare benefits. Apart from their room baths, guests may also use the bath halls, each of which offer an indoor and outdoor bath. The indoor baths are deep enough for full body soaking, and are bordered with aromatic cypress. The outdoor baths feature zigzag layouts that emulate natural formations, enhanced by the seasonal colors of the surrounding scenery. As the bath halls are separated by gender, guests are asked to enjoy the baths without swimwear.

SPA
Rebalancing Spa Treatments
The spa regimens here are designed to relax both mind and body and guide them toward a state of optimal health. Once warmed up from a bath, guests are treated in a traditional Japanese room, surrounded by translucent shoji paper doors that create a calming, diffused light. Meanwhile, yoga is practiced at the water gardens. Our yoga programs are based in Qigong--renowned for its health benefits--and are designed to improve one's physical and spiritual balance.

POOL
Swimming in Nature
A clear blue pool lies in the center of the nature-rich premises, like a pond deep in the forest. Gazebos line the pool's perimeter, offering shade and a place to bask in the soothing breezes that drift in from the surrounding groves. The pool offers an additional unique water-based experience, separate from the hot spring baths.

EXPLORING GUGUAN
Getting the Most Out of
Guguan's Scenery
The resort connects directly to this 1,300-meter trail, which takes 90 minutes to complete. The well-maintained trail is beautified with seasonal colors of spring cherry blossoms and fall leaves. The trail leads to an observatory, from where the view is breathtaking.
The interior of this beautiful temple, built in 1950, is brilliantly decorated. It has withstood many natural disasters, which is why it continues to maintain the reverence of locals.
Two iconic suspension bridges-- the Shaolai and Guguan--offer passage over the Dajia River. Both look out over the valley, carved out by the river, and provide the perfect spot to enjoy the breeze.
In Taiwan, the night market offers a way to explore the island's food and culture during cooler hours. Fengjia Night Market, considered the largest in Taiwan, is renowned as the birthplace of the island's hottest new food trends.
