ShonaiHotelSuidenTerrasse

Yamagata Tsuruoka City

Shonai Hotel Suiden Terrasse is a hotel in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, equipped with a bathing facility exclusively for guests. The designer sauna, the first of its kind by world-renowned architect Shigeru Ban, features a beautiful hexagonal Finnish style, allowing guests to control heat and steam with self-löyly. The natural hot spring Tsuruoka Beijing Tian Onsen, with its sulfate and chloride springs, provides deep warmth and is effective for cold sensitivity and fatigue recovery. Guests can enjoy three different baths—Amairo, Gesshaku, and Toki—every morning with a gender switch, and the hotel also offers a fitness gym and massage services. The wooden architecture seems to float in the rice fields, offering a luxurious time to experience the four seasons of the Shonai Plain and achieve a state of perfect relaxation.

A natural hot spring flowing directly from the source underground. The sodium-calcium sulfate-chloride spring water has high heat retention, warming you thoroughly from the core. Even after bathing, you won't easily feel chilled, and the sensation of fatigue relief continues deeply. The moisturizing effect of the sulfate spring leaves the skin smooth, and the salt film sensation of the chloride spring sustains warmth. It is expected to be effective for cuts, peripheral circulation disorders, cold sensitivity, depression, and dry skin.
