Cheap hotels in Zaō Onsen

Beautiful quiet location with some great baths and access to skiing in the area. The meals with local ingredients were exceptional and the beddings were one of the most comfortable we've had.

The hosts went above and beyond to help us find certain things to do! Also the location is right next to the main lift which was a huge bonus!

The staff and food were amazing. The manager was extremely friendly and helped with local tips and generally made our trip smooth and care free. The chef had an excellent menu for both breakfast and dinner. Each meal was different and delicious. We felt right at home and really enjoyed the games available in the lounge, music, fire place, and Yuki the lodge dog. Don’t miss the hot tub to recover from the slopes!

My friend and I recently stayed at this newly opened accommodation, and it was a fantastic experience. The host was incredibly friendly and made us feel completely at home throughout our stay. The facilities are excellent, featuring everything you could need, including a traditional onsen—a perfect way to relax after a day of exploring or skiing. The room was spacious, and the futon bed was extremely comfortable. The location is unbeatable! Situated on the historical Takayu Street, it’s surrounded by charming shops, restaurants, and onsens. It’s also super convenient for skiing enthusiasts—just a 7-minute walk to Zao Base Center Jupeer, Uwanadai Slope, and Zao Chuo Ropeway. Plus, the Zao bus terminal is only 3 minutes away on foot. Don’t miss the restaurant “Ringoya” on-site, which serves absolutely delicious food.

Everything was great, from the room to the food to the hosts and the dog.

Just perfect. I can’t say anything bad about it. The receptionists, the breakfast, the room, the bathroom. All great!

We think the food and rooms are amazing. We also loved the public baths

The staff was very kind, as expected from a family owned ryokan. The bath area is small, but you schedule your personal bath time. Food is incredible, a must try when visiting Zao. Location is near the main attractions, like the cable car is reachable by walking. Lots of nearby onsens.

The property was conveniently located walking distance to zao ski resorts and local cafes, onsen.

It was the perfect location with the most amazing owners. They were fantastic from getting us New Years Eve Resturant reservations before we got there to letting us know about Zao. Great experience and beautiful place!!

How close the ski was, how friendly the staff was. The food was amazing.

Spacious Japanese style room with great view. Friendly staff and service; Flexible check in process; A lot of entertainment facilities, although I only used Onsen.

Very friendly and helpful staff, warm and clean rooms, onsen in the building, rental and lift tickets, storage in the building. Coffee machine available at extra price in the lobby

The location was fantastic! Able to walk to the farthest ski lift to warm up and work our way out to the other end of the resort. Walked straight from the bus stop to the hotel, roughly 10 minute walk with all our luggage. The accommodation was clean, ADORABLE, and the staff was some of the friendliest I have experienced in my life. The room was spacious, the onsen was absolutely incredible. Cinderella bar/restaurant was phenomenal as well as the other restaurant in the hotel. Breakfast was amazing as well. HIGHLY recommend staying here.

We appreciated the breakfast choices and enjoyed our meals in the lovely dining area!

A lot of space in the annex, private, had its own parking and staff provided exceptional service.

A mixture of Japanese and Western culture, good location has ski-in access, and the staffsssss are really nice

The place feels like home! Our family enjoyed our stay here as we were warmly welcomed by the owners. They were very accommodating and helpful during our stay. The location of the place was also near and convenient for people who will have skiing trips and onsen activities. The owners were kind and approachable. They gave recommendations on places you can visit as well as prepare your meals. Thank you so much for a memorable stay! We will go back again ❤️
