Welcome to Bandai Nishimuraya Ryokan
Bandai Nishimuraya Ryokan is located in Nakanosawa Onsen, roughly 260km north of Tokyo. It is a quiet mountain ryokan located in a hot spring district surrounded by mountains — Mount Adatara (1728m) to the east, Mount Bandai (1816m) to the west, and the Azuma mountain range (2035m) to the north. The high quality of the hot spring water attracts tourists from all over Japan, and is known as a hidden gem of a hot spring.
Since a hot spring was discovered at the foot of Mount Adatara around 1600, it has been used as a therapeutic hot spring. Because of the high acidity of the hot spring, it is effective for mitigating gastrointestinal diseases, rheumatic diseases, and external wounds such as cutes, and is visited by many people throughout the year.
There is also a ski resort near the ryokan, which is popular with families who enjoy skiing in the winter.In spring, summer, and fall, we welcome many guests returning from hikes, who visit us to sooth their fatigue from a day in the mountains before returning home.
How about experiencing a traditional Japanese ryokan? Our entire staff will strive to ensure that our guests return home with a warm feeling in their hearts, so please visit us.
