Welcome to Sozankyo. This Traditional Ryokan (see definition of ryokan styles below) was built almost 60 years ago. Sozankyo consists of 3 wooden buildings, and each of the 38 Japanese-style rooms has its own private toilet. Sozankyo has natural hot spring water for the guest's relaxation and enjoyment (the baths are same gender only). There are 2 hot spring baths at Sozankyo - a Japanese orange bath and a milk bath both of which are highly beneficial for both skin and muscle ailments. Delicious, seasonal meals are served throughout the year and the owners of Sozankyo are particularly proud of their tofu dishes. Check-in time is after 15:00 and check-out time is before 10:00 am. Parking is available.
