Namari Onsen Ski Resort, renowned for the historic Fujizo Ryokan, offers an exquisite blend of traditional and modern amenities, alongside its famed hot spring baths. The Ryokan, a 600-year-old establishment, houses four unique baths filled with 100% natural spring water from five distinct sources. The Western-style annex, in stark contrast to the traditional zelkova-built main building, also features these natural spring baths, offering guests a refreshing experience in a contemporary setting.
A particularly noteworthy feature at the resort is the bathtub linked directly to the hot spring outlet, about 1.2 meters deep. The tub fills without the spring water getting oxidized or diluted, providing a luxurious bathing experience where guests can immerse themselves fully. Each room at the resort is designed to offer a unique ambiance, with stylish settings and color schemes varying from room to room.
One of the resort's most modern offerings is Jusangatsu, which deviates from traditional onsen hotels, offering a more upscale, apartment-like setting. It's equipped with spacious rooms, a shower booth with a mist sauna function, and a semi-outdoor onsen bath attached to each room, complete with a large terrace. The culinary experience at the resort is also commendable, with the in-house chef receiving high praise for the superb dinner offerings.
Despite its modern amenities, the resort maintains a strong connection to its traditional roots. The river view from the private onsens and the public onsens at Fujisan ryokan, connected via an indoor walkway, are particularly appreciated by guests. The warm hospitality of the hosts, especially the multilingual staff, is praised for making guests feel welcome.
The resort also caters to the needs of all its guests, with spacious and comfortable rooms that are easily accessible for elderly guests. The prompt response from the front desk staff to any request or query ensures a comfortable stay for all. Despite its contemporary offerings, Namari Onsen Ski Resort remains steeped in tradition, providing an unforgettable experience for every guest.
