Live with Hot Springs and Forests — A Forest Onsen Resort in Miyagi Zao

Togatta Onsen, located one hour by car from Sendai City, is an adult forest Onsen resort situated within the expansive woods of Miyagi Zao Quasi-National Park.

  • I had a very comfortable 3-day, 2-night stay in a quiet setting. The meals were delicious, and the nightly mini concerts in the lobby were truly relaxing. As I was traveling solo, it wasn’t cheap, but the Facility and the quality of the cuisine more than justified it. If I had to mention one thing, the toilet paper in the Room was thin and a bit inconvenient to use. It was a wonderful and comfortable Hotel that will likely make me want to return again in summer.

  • Every staff member who assisted us was incredibly warm and courteous; it’s no exaggeration to say this Accommodation is made by its staff. It was busy during Silver Week, but it never felt crowded, the other guests were pleasant, and we were able to enjoy a very quiet and relaxing holiday. Perhaps it was just the timing and most guests were using the private open-air bath, but the large public bath was almost like having it to ourselves, which was great. All of the food was delicious, and I even reordered some of the same dishes. The check-in explanation felt a bit long, so standing throughout became difficult and I asked to sit partway through. There was hair on top of the sanitary bin in the in-room toilet, and it remained there even after housekeeping on the second day. We could hear voices from next door late into the night. When I asked one of the servers what “XX” was as part of a dish explanation, they didn’t seem to know and hesitated with “XX is… um…”. I felt they should at least be familiar with the dish names written on the menu sheet. Sorry for mentioning such minor points; overall, this is an Accommodation with truly wonderful people, and I would love to visit again if I have another opportunity.

Forest

Living in a vast forest

The expansive 23,000 square meter area was originally artificially developed, but efforts have been made to restore it to its natural state. Without cutting down a single tree, each one has been carefully transplanted, and river water has been channeled to create a rich biotope that coexists with the forest's wildlife. Centered around this Zao Forest, you can enjoy activities and healthy meals while spending peaceful moments. Before you know it, both your mind and body will feel relaxed and at ease. Why not take a small step away from your daily routine and immerse yourself in the tranquility of Zao Forest?
