About Shogen Sanso

"Shogen Sanso" in Tamana Onsen is a Japanese-modern ryokan set around a vast Japanese garden that boasts a history of more than 100 years. Water mirrors placed throughout the property reflect beautiful scenes, drawing guests into a tranquil, restorative space. In 2023, Bettei Sakura opened on higher ground, making it possible to enjoy a private stay with a semi-open-air bath in every room. The spring water is a radium-rich alkaline simple hot spring known as a Bijin no Yu for its high moisturizing effect. From the open-air bath with the only utase-yu in Tamana Onsen, guests can fully enjoy the beauty of the garden, which changes with the seasons.
