Spring's budding. Summer's fireflies. Autumn's foliage. Winter's tranquility. A Ryokan with Onsen that invites you to revisit, cherishing the colors of the four seasons and the nostalgic scenery of your hometown. Located at the foot of Mount "Waita" in Kokonoe Town, Oita Prefecture, within a 3,000-tsubo riverside property, it features 10 fully detached cottages with open-air baths (5 pet-friendly), a management building, and a shared open-air rock bath.

In this land where time flows gently and serenely, we have marked 160 years of history, nestled in the embrace of the majestic Yufuin mountain foothills, accompanied by unchanging hot spring steam.

A soothing Onsen Ryokan where mineral blossoms dance in the water Hana-yuzu is surrounded by beautiful cedar trees, with lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. At night, a sky full of stars lights up the heavens, creating a magical scene. Enjoy a special moment while gazing at Oguni Fuji and soaking in an Onsen where mineral blossoms rise and swirl.

Yamakawa ZENZO is a hidden retreat for adults where you can enjoy natural Onsen with water directly sourced from Yamakawa Onsen and traditional irori-style cuisine. Each guest room features a private open-air bath, allowing you to relax while taking in the surrounding nature. Additionally, we offer irori-grilled dishes prepared over charcoal right in front of you, paired with carefully selected beverages. The large communal bath is designed with landscaping that evokes the presence of massive rocks and mountains, creating a rustic and wild atmosphere. Savor the local ingredients of Kumamoto, the land of fire, grilled over the irori, and enjoy a truly special experience.
