Hot Springs

Immerse yourself in the fine milky waters of Zao Onsen and enjoy a calm and soothing moment of relaxation.

Guests can enjoy two types of baths in the Jurin bathing area: the strongly acidic waters of Zao Onsen and a mildly alkaline Herston artificial hot spring for those who prefer a gentler bath.

Pure spring water, a natural beauty essence.

Yamagata is home to many hot springs with long histories, and Zao stands out with a tradition spanning 1,900 years. Zao Onsen is regarded as one of the most historic hot springs not only in Yamagata Prefecture but in the entire Tohoku region.
Strongly acidic hot water is called a “natural beauty serum.” After bathing, you can enjoy the sensation of your skin feeling smooth and well-nourished.
