Hotel Terbaik dengan Gimnasium di Zaō

The Outdoor Onsen Among the Trees was the reason I chose this place. At 6:30 sunrise and mid-day the sparking sunlight off the leaves with the wafting mist of onsen heat was so relaxing, yet inspiring! This ”Mizunaranoyu” was for the Ladies, overcoming traditions that the Gentlemen had the better bath. It is was a wonderful Zen-like retreat (not so much a 'resort', with no sports facilities, no karaoke or game center). We loved it! We also reserved a private cottage onsen (no charge) with a babbling river stream for additional serenity! An average room was very spacious with a luxurious bathroom and views of the wooded mountains. We drank morning coffee outside in the inner courtyard enjoying the turning of the momiji leaves. We walked along the river steam and enjoyed the birds & fresh air. This is relaxation! TIP* We had a special dinner plan called ”Shoshoku”, means a smaller menu for us older folks. It was not stingy but still very opulant in dishes and the beauty of the serving ware. With sake, we were full and satisfied without being so stuffed. Very delicious. Absolutely One of My Favorite Onsen out of the 100+ Onsen I have Enjoyed.
