A journey of onsen and mountain blessings in the heart of Zao

Zao Onsen Village is nestled in the lush green mountains of the Zao Range. One such ryokan, with its charming appearance, is Itoya. The naturally flowing strong acid sulphur springs will deliver a relaxing time.

A hot bath that dyes the heart red

The strong acid spring, with the scent of sulphur, is somewhat hot and stimulating. However, surrendering to its heat will blow away the fatigue of everyday life, allowing you to refresh your mind and body. The hinoki cypress-scented bath promises a small but exquisite bathing experience.

Savoring the blessings of the mountain with luxurious meals

Dinner consists of kaiseki cuisine made from seasonal ingredients blessed by the Zao mountains. Each dish of mushrooms, meat, and wild vegetables exudes the aroma of the four seasons. The jazz music that accompanies the meal adds a touch of luxury to the time.

Functional guest rooms to heal the weariness of the journey

The guest rooms have a calm atmosphere, renovated from an old folk house, with the fragrance of tatami mats. There is also rental of mountaineering equipment, so you will be well-prepared to walk among the Zao mountains. In the evening, after a leisurely shower, it is recommended to take a moment to reflect on the day while gazing at the night view in front of you.

In the heart of Zao Onsen, Ryokan Itoya, which excels in both mountain and onsen courses, promises a restful stay.
