"Very nice room with private bath! It would be even better if can adjust onsen water temperature (too hot) so can enjoy more fully. Food is good too, stay for 2-nights and menu is different. Would consider to come back next time!"

"I've stayed here before and the service, hot springs, and food were all excellent, so I'm back for a repeat stay. I was once again very satisfied with my stay. In addition to the usual free drinks, the pre-meal sours and soda plum cocktails were also great. The sashimi and steak were particularly delicious. I also love the clear spring water, which warms the skin nicely. This is an inn I'd definitely like to visit again."

★★★★ 9.9 (9 reviews)

"This is my third time here. Each time, I've stayed in a different room with a private onsen. This time, it was the Mikazuki room by the river, and the bath was a bit small, just for one person. After checking in, we quickly headed straight for the outdoor private onsen. To my surprise, three Japanese women, also clearly familiar with the place, rushed there too. We were a step behind, but about 10 minutes later, we all finished at the same time, perfectly handing off the bath to each other. The weather was great this time, with sunshine. It's a shame there was no snow, though. I'll have to come back again between January and March next time."

📍 Sarutani-13-1 Togattaonsen, Katta District, Zao
★★★★ 9.5 (3 reviews)

"The service attitude of the staff is very good. Although their English proficiency is not high, they are still willing to communicate through mobile phone translation and try their best to provide assistance. I checked in at the beginning of December 2024. Due to the onset of winter, the temperature dropped and snow began to fall. I was not sure whether some attractions were open, such as Zao Juhyo, Zao Ski Resort, and Central Ropeway Station. The staff took the trouble to go online and call for inquiries. Let us make good use of our sightseeing time."

Hoshiakari No Yado Mahoroba ★★★
"My wife and I stayed in the villa for two nights. Overall, the atmosphere was great and we were able to experience something out of the ordinary. The villa's open-air bath, filled with natural hot spring water, is charmingly carved out of a large rock. It was spacious enough to stretch out and enjoy a luxurious stay. The washing area was separated by a door, making it easy to stay warm, and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness, even in the cold season. And above all, since our room had its own open-air bath, being able to use it whenever I wanted felt incredibly luxurious. For dinner, we chose the yakiniku plan, which included a Zao beef platter, which we enjoyed grilling over charcoal to perfection. The breakfast menu was also very varied and satisfying. I ended up overeating. This is definitely the perfect inn for an extraordinary experience. Thank you for the wonderful memories."

Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro ★★★
"We booked our accommodation for the night at Ryokan Sanjiro in Togatta Onsen. Traveling down the Zao Echo Line from the top of Mt. Zao towards Miyagi, we arrived at Togatta Onsenkyo. Ryokan Sanjiro was built on a small hill on the east side of Togatta Onsen town. It is a medium-sized Japanese-style inn with a number of different paths to follow, each one of which was lovely with its own quaint space. From the large public baths, Katsupa no Yu and Togen no Yu, we had a magnificent view of the Zao mountain range. Dinner at a restaurant called Kamado was a seasonal kaiseki meal made with locally produced in-season ingredients, which we enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere, along with some local Miyagi sake."

Tamaya Ryokan ★★★
"The room was clean, and the public bath was new and tidy. Private bath access is free; no reservation is needed (can be used whenever no one is present). The water temperature was quite high, which soothed my feet from walking so much during the trip. A 150 yen per person per night fee applies upon check-out. On a clear day, you can easily see a sky full of stars."

"The starry sky at night is superb, there are so many, you can clearly see every star twinkling. The staff is very polite and attentive, scoring 1200 points Unexpected thing, including breakfast and dinner is your choice I am better than the Café de Coral breakfast picture. They all try their best to look the same There is an independent barbecue grill, clothes rack, heater and fresh air blower The disadvantage is the location, not in the city center But I can’t, it’s like this when you kiss nature Another drawback is that the toilet and bathroom are not inside the tent. It takes more than ten steps to walk to customerService Each tent has its own private bathroom It is very convenient to get to Fujin Hot Spring"

Chikusenso Onsen ★★★★★
"Zhuquanzhuang is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel is built in the mountains and forests, with an elegant, warm and comfortable environment. The hotel service is comprehensive and in place. When we arrived, they sent a car to greet us. Not to mention the hotel's kaiseki dinner and breakfast, it is definitely a five-star hotel. The private hot springs are also charming in the drizzle, and the hotel service also sent umbrellas thoughtfully. If I wasn't in a hurry, I really want to stay in Zhuquanzhuang for a few days!"
