Stay a night at カジノレオバースデーボーナスSTRAEA HOTEL - Admire scenic views from its outdoor bath

Because of its ideal location, guests who stay at カジノレオバースデーボーナスSTRAEA HOTEL have access to great night views of Zao Onsen.

From our room at カジノレオバースデーボーナスSTRAEA HOTEL, we were able to see Zao Onsen Street from afar, as well as the surrounding scenery. The clean, neat rooms had all the amenities we needed, including WIFI. Toiletries as well as yukata are also provided; guests can even head to the main hall on the first floor to pick out their preferred design. As the hotel is directly linked to the ski slopes, it is a highly convenient accommodation for those who are there for that very purpose. One of the best features of this hotel is that it has natural hot spring waters which flows straight from Zao Onsen, and you can soak in an onsen while marveling at the snowy scenery. With a history of more than 1,900 years, Zao Onsen, alongside Yamagata’s Shirabu Onsen and Fukushima’s Shinobu Onsen, is part of the Ouusantaka Yuu (奥羽三高湯). These acidic, sulfur spring waters are a milky white and smell faintly of sulfur. Known as “Beauty Bath” in Zao Onsen, the water is known to rejuvenate tired bodies and has beautifying effects on skin too!

Revel in the taste of seasonal produce with dishes that change every day. If you want something special, order the Yamagata beef. Its tender, juicy meat will leave you satisfied.
