20 Ryokan in Japan

Guests can refresh at our free public indoor and outdoor onsen. The open-air onsen is surrounded by rocks from Mt. Nantai, which is said to be a powerful spiritual spot. The sulfur spring water changes color depending on the temperature and season, milky white, milky green or transparent. If you'd like to use a private half open-air onsen with your family or friends, at extra cost, it's better to make a reservation in advance to take your preferred time. Each room has twin beds and a tatami (woven-straw) seating area including en suite bathroom. A flat-screen TV, a fridge and an electric kettle with green tea bags are included in each. Japanese Yukata robes and slippers are provided for all guests. Local products can be purchased at the gift shop. Guests can relax at the massage chairs after a long day of trecking or skiing. Japanese kaiseki multi-course meals are served on site. *Food allergies can be accommodated if you inform us at least 3 days in advance. 10 minutes drive to Senjogahara, 15 minutes drive from Lake Chuzenjiko, a few minutes on foot to Lake Yunoko, 6 or 7 minutes on foot to ski resort.

Mizuno is a quiet and atmospheric kominka hot spring inn that is just a 7 minute dive by car away from Ajiro Station on the JR Ito Station. It is a place where the warmth of the sea and mountains surrounding the hot springs harmonize just perfectly with the inherent warmth of the old, natural materials that the inn was built with. Incredibly rich in nature, the inn was once a private farmhouse that was renovated to serve guests as a traditional Japanese inn. With their thick, wooden pillars, the rooms emulate the cozy feeling of an old forest, an experience that is brought to perfecting by soaking your body in the natural open-air bath of Mizuno. Bring time to a stand-still and seek refuge of the busy day to day life of the city here.
