Overview
Greenity Iwata places you on a green hillside in Iwata City, where open sky, garden views, and quiet space shape the whole stay. If you travel by train and bus, you can take the bus from JR Iwata Station to Iwata Eigyosho, then walk about four minutes to the hotel.
This retreat-style hotel connects you with nature, local Enshu culture, seasonal food, and natural hot spring bathing. You can relax in a spacious room, walk through the large garden, enjoy French or Japanese dining, soak in Iwata Tenjin no Yu, and slow down without feeling far from the city.

Dining

The menu respects Japanese cooking traditions while adding creative touches, giving you a refined meal in a calm Japanese setting. Tokiwa serves lunch and dinner, and it also has three private rooms named Momo, Fuji, and Yuzu for anniversaries, special meals, and private dining.
If you want a more intimate dining experience, Tokiwa also has a fully reservable teppanyaki counter with six seats. Here, the chef prepares local Enshu ingredients in front of you, so you can enjoy the sound, aroma, and movement of the cooking as part of the meal. Teppanyaki is available for lunch and dinner by advance reservation, and children of elementary school age or younger cannot use this counter.
Breakfast is served as a set menu. You can choose an omelet or scrambled eggs as the main plate, and the meal brings in vegetables, fermentation, koji, and Enshu ingredients to help you start the day gently. In the Lounge and Bar, you can enjoy coffee from a local roaster, Iwata-grown Japanese black tea, seasonal sweets, light meals, afternoon tea by reservation, and cocktails made with local fruit in the evening.
Onsen and Wellness
Greenity Iwata’s natural hot spring, Iwata Tenjin no Yu, uses a rare moor spring pumped from about 1,500 meters underground. Moor spring water contains plant-based organic matter, including humic and fulvic components, and it has a clear brown tone with a smooth feel on the skin. This water is often called “beauty bath” water because of its moisturizing and warming feel.
The hot spring has two bath spaces, Daichi and Sora, and you can enjoy them on a daily rotation. Both spaces include a large indoor bath, open-air bath, sauna, cold bath, and outdoor cooling area. Daichi has a calm, grounded design with straight lines and soft light, while Sora has a brighter shape with curves and an open feeling. The open-air baths use free-flowing spring water, so you can soak while feeling the air and looking toward the garden.
The sauna experience is also a key part of the stay. Daichi has a step-style Finnish sauna where you can enjoy löyly, with an outdoor cooling area facing the garden. Sora has a distinctive gourd-shaped wooden sauna, also with löyly and a garden-facing cooling area. Both bathing areas include powder rooms designed to match the mood of the bath space.
The spring quality is alkaline simple spring water, classified as hypotonic and weakly alkaline. The listed benefits include relief for nerve pain, muscle pain, joint pain, frozen shoulder, motor paralysis, joint stiffness, chronic digestive issues, hemorrhoids, sensitivity to cold, and recovery after illness. Staying customers can use the hot spring from 6:00 to 9:00 and from 15:00 to 24:00. Day-use bathing is also available from 10:00 to 16:00, with last entry at 15:00.
Guests with Tattoos
Greenity Iwata has shared hot spring baths. You cannot enter the hot spring area with tattoos or body paint unless the tattoo or body paint can be fully covered with a hotel-designated seal. You can ask reception about the seal. If your tattoo cannot be covered with the designated seal, choose a suite with an in-room moor spring bath so you can enjoy the hot spring water in your own room.
