Introduction of the Accommodation

Enjoy the luxury of doing nothing.
Nestled quietly in the deep mountains, "Azumaya Ryokan". Escape the noise and unwind in a serene space. Listen closely, and you can hear the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects. There's nothing, yet that's the charm. Let yourself flow with the slow passage of time, relax, and unwind. Enjoy the onsen or relax in your room, spending your time as you wish, embraced by nature.

Onsen
From the bath, you can gaze upon the majestic scenery at an altitude of 1126 meters on the slopes of Mount Nishi Azuma. The ever-changing colors of the sky, the seasonal hues, and the expressions of the water. The natural Onsen flows luxuriously.

A simple and rustic Japanese-style room. After soaking in the Onsen, relax on the tatami mat as if you were at home.

Savor the heartfelt cuisine crafted with abundant local ingredients such as freshly harvested mountain vegetables and mushrooms, stream fish like iwana and yamame, and Yonezawa beef, one of Japan's top three Wagyu varieties.

Other Facilities
There is a wooden deck terrace with breathtaking views.
