Shirahone Onsen · Kamikochi Onsen × Ideal Accommodation For WorkationRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

“Sawando” means “a place where rivers meet.” In December 1998, Onsen water was brought to this area—long used as a gateway to Kamikochi—and Sawando Onsen was born. Our inn opened five years later, in July 2003. Surrounded by mountains and little else, Keiryuso Shiorie warmly welcomes you. We hope you will enjoy the nature, unwind from everyday fatigue, celebrate an anniversary with someone special, or treat yourself for all your hard work—we would be truly happy if you choose Shiorie for moments like these.

Oyado Kodama is a small Onsen Accommodation with just seven rooms. Relax in a quiet setting with clear mountain air and views of Mt. Norikura in the distance. From summer to autumn, it’s an ideal base for trekking and sightseeing around Mt. Norikura, and in winter you can enjoy skiing. Highlights include 100% natural hot spring baths fed directly from the source and homemade meals featuring local ingredients. It is also conveniently located about 20 minutes by car from Sawando Bus Terminal, the gateway to the Kamikochi area.

The property boasts a milky-white natural onsen and open-air baths available 24 hours. Separate open-air baths for men and women are provided, offering a unique experience of bathing under a starry sky. Dinner is renowned for its hotpot made with natural mushrooms harvested from the local mountains, featuring mushrooms personally gathered by the owner, along with Shinshu's specialty horse sashimi.
