YAMATO THE SEASONS Sugatanionnsenn

Shiga Prefecture/Sugatani Onsen

A secluded mountain Accommodation, a reddish-brown Onsen, seasonal kaiseki cuisine throughout the year, and a soothing retreat

A secluded Accommodation in the mountains, featuring an iron-rich bicarbonate Onsen with a reddish-brown hue. Enjoy a large communal bath and an open-air bath, along with kaiseki cuisine and hot pot dishes that highlight seasonal flavors throughout the year. Choose from rooms with a private open-air bath, rooms with a jacuzzi, and Japanese-style rooms—so you can unwind at your leisure in a soothing space. The free-flowing natural spring water is said to have been used by Sengoku-era warriors to heal their wounds, and its benefits are well regarded. Savor kaiseki dishes that combine the best of each season with local specialties from this area.

  • I found Sugatani Onsen while looking for an Accommodation where I could stay with my pet, without knowing the name beforehand. It was very comfortable. I brought pet pads, but if possible, I would like you to provide some spares. There is no need to lay out the futon during meals; I worry my dog might bark, so it makes me more concerned. The air conditioner noise felt a little loud. The meals were very delicious. It is a quiet location away from the crowds.

  • Traveling with three dogs meant we had a lot of luggage, so thank you for kindly accommodating us—lending us a cart and allowing us to come to meals at staggered times.\n\nIt was a bit disappointing to find two spots of dirt from a previous dog’s mess on the veranda, but since we were traveling with dogs as well, it didn’t bother us much.\n\nOverall, we had a very comfortable stay and would love to visit again.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Onsen

Our Onsen has long been cherished as the first in the prefecture to offer 100% free-flowing natural hot spring water. Rich in iron, our “bicarbonate iron spring” turns reddish-brown when exposed to air and has been loved for generations as a renowned hot spring. Relax in our open-air bath nestled among the mountains of Mount Kotaniyama, and enjoy a soothing soak while taking in the beauty of nature through every season.
