Name: Shojuen
Rating: 4.6

Overview

On the border of Kanto and Niigata is the satoyama nuzzled into the Mikuni mountain range: Sarugakyo Hot Spring. In the stone wall built by piling up boulders, both white plaster and nature are built into this Sukiya-style residence. This is an inn with a mere 13 rooms and the building itself is filled with an atmosphere of healing.

In Shojuen, there is an anecdote passed down about "zashiki warashi". The Yahata that was enshrined after being revealed by a zashiki warashi that changed its form is still enshrined with great care at Shojuen where it brings good fortune to those who visit.

In a single-story building, all guest rooms are prepared with a floor table. The natural rush tatami is soft and easy to comfortably relax on.

Meals are dishes that reflect the hospitality of Shojuen. One may enjoy the original taste of dishes that use plenty of local ingredients from Gunma Prefecture.

The baths contain spring water that has the exact translucency of lotion and a rich, soft, gentle effect. One can heal the days wear on the body and spirit wrapped in the light calm with gentleness and consideration. It is something you can feel for yourself once your skin is wet.

Sarugakyo Hot Springs Shojuen is where hospitality is taken seriously. We hope you spend a blissful moment here with someone important to you.

Japanese room with twin bed

お夕飯は、充分においしいのですが、価格に見合った内容では無いと感じます。お風呂やお部屋、ロケーションは満足しています。

The dinner is delicious enough, but I don't feel it is worth the price. The bath, room and location are satisfactory.

The couple who took care of us were able to relax. It's more than enough for us. After dinner, listen to the suzumushi's cry, or the owner's collection? Blue Note JAZZ A very comfortable lounge. In winter, I would like to ask you to be healed by the fire of the fireplace. Thank you so much for having a wonderful time. Let's play together next time

Bath

◆Indoor bath・Open-air bath
We have created a stone open-air bath created with boulders from Mt. Omine and pit together by the inn's personnel. Different from man-made baths, this is a popular bath where you can enjoy the hot spring.

◆Private bath: Asahi
We use natural Hiba materials. This is a bath that receives the sun's blessings. This bath was built with that image in mind.

◆Private bath: Yuhi
With the red western sun at this bath, the surrounding also changes when night falls. This stone and tatami bath was created with that image in mind. This is a Japan-made unit bath that functionally combines a wash basin and bath beautifully.

※If the private bath is free, it is available to use. It is not reservation based. There is not wash area (shower).
