"Shirogane no Mori" is an "agricultural auberge" created by Yoshihiro Matsuoka, the founder of Kokko Farm (poultry farming), who personally carved out a mountain the size of the Tokyo Dome. It combines a Property, restaurant, Onsen, and farm. All guest Rooms are detached suites, featuring luxurious queen-sized beds. Each Room is also equipped with a private Onsen with natural hot spring water. At the panoramic restaurant "Shiki Minori," we serve creative kaiseki cuisine in private dining rooms, carefully prepared using ingredients lovingly grown by local producers, including those from the Shirogane no Mori farm. Enjoy seasonal cuisine, natural beauty, skin-beautifying hot springs, and the gentle flow of time with your loved ones.

Soft sunlight streams through the courtyard, bringing morning to a quiet room untouched by sound. Shadows of leaves dance on the washi paper sliding doors, and the gentle sound of water poured into a tea kettle signals the beginning of hospitality. Nestled in Uchimaki, a hot spring town surrounded by the majestic outer rim mountains and offering breathtaking views of Aso's Five Peaks throughout the seasons. Sozankyo is a traditional accommodation that embodies the charm and atmosphere of this historic hot spring town. Experience heartfelt hospitality unique to a ryokan, authentic onsen baths, and cuisine crafted with carefully selected ingredients. We present dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients and blessings from Aso, each served with genuine care.
