The three Onsen baths, each with its own character, are all free-flowing from the source; savor to your heart’s content the abundant natural hot spring water with its gentle fragrance.

Saijo Onsen Tokura's hot spring source has been flowing along the Zenkoji Highway for over a thousand years and is known as the "Thousand-Year Bath." The spring quality is a simple sulfur spring, with the approximately 14-degree cold spring water heated for use. The slightly milky source water appears to change color depending on the day, earning it the name "Seven-Colored Bath." Additionally, the Onsen is rich in mineral components, making it effective for fatigue recovery, muscle pain, neuralgia, sensitivity to cold, gynecological issues, rheumatism, high blood pressure, and even cuts. Our Property welcomes guests from both within and outside the prefecture, and our dinner, featuring kaiseki cuisine made with seasonal local ingredients, is highly praised. We also offer kaiseki cuisine for day-trip banquets. The dining area is very popular for its hearty menu, and both the meals and day-use bathing attract many visitors daily. Saijo Onsen Tokura is a Facility frequently visited by guests from the surrounding areas.

The Suffolk sheep raised on our farm are an extremely rare ingredient, accounting for less than 1% of domestic distribution. We offer sheep carefully raised in the deep mountains of Shinshu, with attention to their feed. Enjoy the special meat that can only be tasted at Sagirisou. The onsen is a very precious source containing "Magnesium Sulfate," rare even in Japan. The hot spring warms the body from the core and is highly regarded by locals. A nostalgic onsen property blending into the tranquil pastoral scenery.
