We stayed at Oohira hotel in October to use it as a base for hiking. It is perfectly located, near the top end of Zao Onsen, right next to the base of the mountain and the big Zao outdoor onsen. We found it with no issues, and the hotel will pick you up from the bus station if you call in advance. The main thing to stand out for us at Oohira was the staff, who were really excellent throughout. They even spoke some English which was surprising and welcome! The hotel building itself is a little 1970's and could do with a lick of paint in the corridors, but it was perfectly clean. The onsen was really nice, hot, steamy and free shampoo and shower gel on offer. The food was excellent too with lots of, somewhat unrecognisable, food to try and be brave with. Though there was good shabu shabu, beef sukiyaki and really standout sashimi. Overall a pretty safe bet for an authentic Japanese ryokan experience! ##### John ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Corning](https://www.expedia.ca/Corning-Hotels.d6045.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Manitoba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Manitoba-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d11148-tPetfriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Marriott-Puerto-Vallarta-Resort-Spa.h26471.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Duluth](https://www.expedia.ca/Duluth-Hotels.d1029.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Montreal Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Montreal-Downtown.h11805.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Lodge Santa Monica Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-Lodge-Santa-Monica-Beach-Hotel.h12621912.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Kantenah-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Kantenah-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h889965.Hotel-Information) > > [Live Casino & Hotel - Philadelphia](https://www.expedia.ca/Philadelphia-Hotels-Live-Casino-Hotel-Philadelphia.h59917783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Germain Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Germain-Montreal.h284230.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hotel Saskatchewan, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-The-Hotel-Saskatchewan.h2500.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Dartmouth-Hotels.d7560.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in White River](https://www.expedia.ca/White-River-Hotels.d602253.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka - Namba](https://www.expedia.ca/Osaka-Hotels-Sotetsu-Grand-Fresa-Osaka-Namba.h12565774.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Portland (PDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/pdx/edmonton-to-portland) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Birmingham (BHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bhm/toronto-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yvr/montreal-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Chantilly (IAD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/iad/montreal-to-washington) > > [Flights from Toronto, ON (YYZ-Pearson Intl.) to New York, NY (NYC-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Hollister (BKG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/bkg/edmonton-to-branson) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Kloten (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/zrh/london-to-zurich) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Roatan](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Roatan.d3043.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Paradise Island Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Paradise-Island.d2793.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals ### General > [Visit Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Rica.dx42)
