One would have to had gotten lost or know where to go, or perhaps even follow the river in order to come across the remote building which sat in a small clearing of what would otherwise be dense with bamboo and oak trees The Elite sits near the shore of a river. From behind the building, wisps of steam can been seen rising out from the natural hot spring, which appears to fall straight from the skies, down along a grand cliff. A small stream eventually separates itself and leads to the garden which lays home to cherry trees, plum trees, a few camellia trees and a vast arrangement of other trees and shrubs. Continuing down the stream, it reconnects to a pond where over a dozen koi swim freely
First Floor - The Tavern
The bar is always fully stocked with various alcohols and other non-alcoholic drinks. Behind the bar, is a small kitchen and staff area. This is where the meals that are served are prepared; excluding any teppanyaki and okonomiyaki dishes, which are prepared on a iron griddle just behind the wooden bar. The tables are wooden and have four seats around each. There is a small stage where a couple of shamisens and taiko drums sit. There is also a fire place area where there are two large couches and two stuffed chairs are and a small circle rug is set in between them.
Second Floor - The Inn
The second floor is an inn. On either side of the hallway are bedrooms open for anyone who wishes to stay. The doors are always open and the keys to the room are on the table. (more?)
Each room has a futon laid out to sleep on, with a low table in the middle of the room, there's a dresser against the wall with yukatas and kimonos inside of the top draw. A small closet is next to the dresser where the futon is folded and stored when its not in use.

To the left of the bar is a small stage where a couple of shamisens and taiko drums sit center stage at all times, if no events are occurring. Most nights it is open mic for anyone who wishes to get up and bravely serenade the room. For starters there is a microphone, a chair and a guitar backstage open for use to artists who wish to perform. We also have a baby grand piano that sits to the very right, on stage, however slimly seen due to low lighting. The dance floor lies just beneath the stage and is wooden with two little half-walls on its sides. There is a small jukebox residing directly in the middle of the left hand half-wall; it does not take coins, therefore it is free for anyone who desires some music. In a back room there is now a DDR machine and some Guitar Hero and Rock Band set up on two large screen T.V's.
A rather small fire place area is the last section of the tavern. There are two large couches and two stuffed chair, with a small circle rug set in between them. Simple, yet sophisticated and calming.
Second Floor - The Inn
The second floor is a long hallway with bedrooms on either side, open for use to anyone who wishes to stay. The doors are locked due to the common respect of privacy. However, if interested in staying the night or a much longer residency, simply contact an owner and a personalized key will be provided.
Each bedroom is first furnished with a low dining table in the middle of the room, as soon as you enter through the door. Then there is the actual “bedroom” which consists of futon a laid out to sleep on and a dresser against the wall with yukatas and kimonos inside of the top draw. A small closet is next to the dresser where the futon can be folded up and stored when not in use. A master bathroom is also included with each bedroom. Next, there is a living room area with a love seat couch and matching low table which faces outward, looking through some of the windows that lie a few feet opposite of the beautiful landscape outside.
