Wajoen

Offering hot-spring baths and Japanese rooms with garden views and a minibar, the 4-star Wajoen Ryokan is 5 minutes from JR Isawa Onsen Train Station on the free shuttle. Multi-course Japanese-style meals are served.

Rooms at Wajoen have a simple décor in Japan’s famously minimalist style, and guests sleep in either Western beds or in futon bedding on a tatami (woven-straw) floor. Shoji paper screens, soft lights and a low table with floor cushions set a tranquil mood. Each air-conditioned room includes an LCD TV with DVD player, green tea and an en suite bathroom, and some rooms have a private open-air hot-spring bath.
