Enjoy the majestic Zao Mountain Range at an Onsen Ryokan boasting a stunning 230-degree panoramic view.

Sanjirou is located on a small hill in the heart of Togatta Onsen, where you can soak in the Onsen while enjoying a sweeping 230-degree panoramic view of the Zao mountain range throughout the seasons. The property also features 12 Onsen baths and four private baths, allowing you to enjoy a bath-hopping experience within the hotel.

  • I stayed here with the Zao Snow Monsters package in Shiroishi-Zao. The hot spring was excellent and very refreshing. The meals were very generous, and I ended up leaving a lot. I would like an option with smaller portions.

  • I stayed at Sanjiro in Togatta Onsen for two nights. The newly renovated Japanese-Western style room from this April was spacious at 45 square meters, providing great satisfaction. I was also impressed by the hospitality of the Ryokan staff. The staff member who guided us was very polite, and even the front desk staff remembered our faces, which I found remarkable. While the first dinner wasn't particularly outstanding, the following three meals were delicately seasoned and truly impressive. It seems they only had Japanese-style rooms before, but renovating to include Japanese-Western style rooms was a fantastic decision. I thoroughly enjoyed the Onsen and was able to relax at the foot of Mount Zao thanks to this wonderful experience.
