Pension Stella

A small pension in Zao Pension Village, in the hills above Kaminoyama. Guests book the baths for their own party, so family, couples or friends can bathe together without sharing: a rock-lined open-air bath that fits about eight people, with a view of the mountains, the sunset and the stars, plus an indoor bath. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap and hair dryers are provided. The pension is reservation-only and takes only a few groups at a time. Free parking is at the village's shared lot, about 50 m away.
