The inhouse Onsen was amazing, we had a beautiful room and the owners were very kind. Had a lovely evening there, would definitely come back! :)
Japanthe staff was fantastic and the location was ideal for a trip to Zao. I would also highly recommend that everyone purchase the breakfast- it was phenomenal.
United StatesVery friendly hosts. The onsen in the Ryokan is a nice plus. Location in the city centre and a small parking lot available. Rooms are comfortable and Japanese style.
JapanI like the hospitality at the ryokan. The hosts made my stay a really memorable one!
JapanLovely older style Ryokan. If your not the fancy type looking for an original Japanese experience then this is the place. Owners are lovely. Breakfast and dinners amazing. We really enjoyed our stay.
AustraliaIt's a big place, many rooms but for me was like living in a my friends home. Thank you!
RomaniaWonderful couple running the ryokan. Very accommodating and eclectic place. A music and theatre fan and master skiier. Very cosy room with view of mountain. Fridge, microwave outside room and kettle tea making inside. Close to bus terminal and short walk 10 minute to ski lifts. Great onsen to soothe tired legs after skiing. Traditional Japanese breakfast was amazing accompanied by some classic Beatles tunes.
AustraliaThe breakfast was awesome, typical japanese breakfast. The property is simple and as a very traditional building it has some old fashioned furniture, but everything is clean, it is a very real japanese experience. The owners are very nice and helpful.
United Kingdomthe owners made me feel like I was staying in my home. they really treated customers with their warm hearts. In addition, the traditional Japanese breakfast they prepared were really palatable. In addition, it is pretty close to the Zao ski resort just by walking for around 10 minutes.
JapanVery friendly, cozy atmosphere, would stay here again for sure.

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more
-
- What is a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature public baths, multi-course dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travellers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation in therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the major differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is simply a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just an accommodation place to sleep. In Japan, many travellers journey long distances solely for the purpose of relaxing in a hot spring bath and feasting on a traditional multi-course dinner – thus making staying at a ryokan an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon beds, instead of Western beds and carpeting. In addition, you remove your shoes at the entrance of the accommodation, or before you enter the room. Modern ryokan may serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while a more traditional ryokan serves in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms may come with a private bathroom, while others will only have a shared public bathroom.
-
- What is a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodied in beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Each of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multi-course Japanese dinner is prepared in such a way that highlights the unique textures, colours, and flavours of the featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Served most commonly at special restaurants and ryokan, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-sized appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What is a yukata?
- Yukata is a casual summer kimono typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans offer guests yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it is common to see guests strolling through the neighbourhood in their yukata. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for relaxing and sleeping in.
-
- How to wear a yukata
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a shirt. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is levelled at your ankle. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What is a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally ‘hot spring’) is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- Bathing procedures and etiquette
- At a public bath – onsen or not – guests are expected to shed all their clothes in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you must not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among the youth of Japan, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you may still be refused admission to public baths and swimming pools. Small tattoos may be covered up using waterproof plasters, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
This is our guests' favourite part of Zao Onsen, according to independent reviews.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.
