Hotel Jurin is a top choice for holiday makers in Zao Onsen. Not only is the hotel perfectly positioned in a ski-in-ski-out location, the hotel is well looked after and has an amazing array of hot spring baths. Deep natural timbers are used throughout the hotel, rooms and bath house, evoking images of a traditional ski chalet.

There are both Japanese and western rooms available, many offering great ski slope views, so you can gaze over the ski courses when you're not out riding them. The rooms are neat and spacious with beautiful Japanese décor.

Make sure to try the local beef specialty at the in-house restaurant, which endeavours to use home grown or locally produced groceries wherever possible. There is also a café, where you can relax in comfort with your friends and loved ones.

If you are after a well-priced, well-located, well-appointed hotel, Hotel Jurin will tick all the boxes, and top it off with friendly hospitable service.
