Around Higashi-Taisetsu Nature Center × Accommodation With Private Hot Spring SourceRecommended Hotel·Ryokan

Our greatest pride is the natural Onsen that springs from our own private source on the property. We carefully preserve the luxury of fresh, free-flowing spring water with no added water and no heating. After partial renovations in 2021, the space now blends traditional charm with modern comfort. In 2024, we also opened a long-awaited pet-friendly dining area for dog lovers. Enjoy our seasonal cuisine at a relaxed pace together with your beloved dog, an important member of your family. Blissful baths fed by our private source and heartfelt hospitality woven through a century of history—spend a truly special time at our ever-evolving inn.

Meto Onsen Hotel has been cherished as a therapeutic hot spring since its opening in 1901. The Onsen water, unchanged since its discovery, is 100% natural, free-flowing from the source, with no reheating. Enjoy the alkaline simple Onsen with a pH of 9.5, flowing at 120 liters per minute at a source temperature of 60°C, emerging by the Nukanan River from the Daisetsu mountain range. Surrounded by pristine forests, the open-air baths offer a serene natural environment. Relax and rejuvenate in the 100% natural, free-flowing Onsen, and savor your time of bathing. In November 2024, we opened the secluded accommodation wing, "Suou no Iori." This exclusive one-group-per-day private villa is nestled in the heart of nature, featuring a luxurious natural Onsen open-air bath, a wooden deck, a dome-shaped sauna with a wood-burning stove (additional charge depending on the Plan), and an outdoor cold bath. For dining, we present "Yamasemi," a new gourmet space also established in 2024. This addition brings a touch of the extraordinary to the over 100-year history of the hidden gem, Meto Onsen. We look forward to welcoming you.
