A discerning skill is evident, not only in the choice of ingredients but also in the presentation and flavors.

It was my first time to stay this place. I absolutely review “👍👍👍👍👍” 5/5 food quality and service quality. Tome-san is working very hard for us to experience great memories.

Located in a prime location among the pensions, you can have the majestic Asahi Mountains all to yourself. The owner has a friendly personality, and I felt that he was serving customers while keeping an eye on people who wanted to travel quietly and people who wanted to travel with excitement, and I had a very good impression of him. As others have written, the food is extremely beautiful and delicious prepared by the former head chef, so I highly recommend staying with half board. Even my 3rd grade child was eating it. The inside of the hotel is also very clean and there is nothing to complain about. It's undeniable that the original design is old, having been built 40 years ago, but the hospitality doesn't make you feel that way. You must bring a towel!

I went to Zao Pension Village Open Garden 2024! Each pension has created an original garden, and I was impressed by how beautiful and well-maintained it was. I'm glad that the refreshing weather of early spring and the pension village nestled in the mountains matched well for a relaxing holiday!

The owner was soft-spoken and spoke to me in a friendly manner. He said he moved here because he likes Zao. The food is delicious and I am satisfied. Unfortunately the weather was bad, but I think the scenery would be really great on a sunny day. Thank you for giving me good memories. It's about a 5 minute drive to the hot springs, so we recommend using that, but if you have special circumstances, you can also use the bathroom inside the pension. Toothbrush and paper cup included. There is a hair dryer. Therefore, I hope you will use this as a reference for reducing your belongings.

This is a very cozy, comfortable and quiet B&B. The host of the B&B treats guests very kindly. If you don’t want to dine in the Zaou hot spring area, the host of the B&B with superb cooking skills can also provide delicious dinner and breakfast, which is worth a try!
