This traditional Japanese inn provides guests with a genuine cultural experience through its authentic design and hospitable service. Guests can enjoy the ryokan’s soothing hot spring baths which offer a perfect way to unwind after exploring the area’s breathtaking landscapes.

One of the hotel’s most significant advantages is its proximity to attractions such as the Zao Onsen Ski Resort, ideal for winter sports enthusiasts. In warmer months, visitors can explore the stunning Okama Crater or take leisurely hikes around Mount Zao’s trails. The nearby Kattadake Shrine adds a cultural touch to your stay, providing insight into local traditions. After a day of adventure, returning to Meitoya Sou feels like coming home.

However, some might find the accommodation’s amenities somewhat basic compared to luxury hotels. While offering an authentic experience, it may not cater to travelers seeking modern conveniences or entertainment options onsite.

Though simplicity characterizes Meitoya Sou, this is precisely what makes it special for those yearning for tranquility and authenticity amidst nature.
