This hotel offers guests a serene retreat with access to the famous Zao Onsen thermal hot springs. Bathing in these geothermal waters provides a quintessential Japanese experience, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploring.

The hotel’s location makes it an excellent choice for ski enthusiasts, as it is near the renowned Zao Onsen Ski Resort. After a day on the slopes, visitors can enjoy soothing soaks in the hotel’s own hot spring baths. Guests interested in nature and hiking will appreciate its proximity to Mount Zao, where trails present stunning views and seasonal landscapes.

Within easy reach of the hotel is Okama Crater Lake, known for its vibrant colors that change with the weather – an ideal spot for photography lovers. The local environment also offers opportunities to explore Juhyo Ice Monsters during winter months, massive snow-covered trees creating otherworldly silhouettes.

Pros include its strategic location close to natural attractions and ski facilities and access to rejuvenating hot springs directly at the hotel. However, some may find its somewhat remote setting less convenient if they wish to explore urban areas or seek diverse dining options not available at or around the property.
