End your trip with a stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan—an essential cultural experience. This property features three different in-house hot springs, each with its own unique character and benefits.
In true ryokan style, beds (futons) are laid out on tatami mat flooring, offering an authentic and immersive stay. Breakfast and dinner highlight locally sourced, traditional Japanese cuisine prepared with care. While a ryokan stay can feel unfamiliar at first, your JST host will be there to guide you through the experience and ensure everything runs smoothly. Rooms include private toilets and sinks, while bathing facilities are shared. Private baths can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis in 45-minute time slots upon arrival. The ryokan is located a 15-minute shuttle ride from Geto Kogen, with daily transfers provided by our private ski bus offering multiple morning departures and afternoon returns.
