BETTEI SENJUAN

The villa Senjuan is a hot spring ryokan nestled against the backdrop of Mt. Tanigawa, which rises on the border between Gunma and Niigata Prefectures. The clear Tanigawa River runs along the side of the over 115,000-square-meter property, and there is no road beyond the ryokan. This rich natural setting beautifully displays a fusion of modern and traditional Japanese craftsmanship and architecture. This is also the first ryokan in Japan to offer an open-air bath with free-flowing hot-spring water in all guest rooms.

There are only 18 guest rooms. All rooms, including Japanese-style rooms and Western-style rooms, have different atmospheres, allowing guests to spend their time in quiet and relaxing surroundings. In addition to the open-air baths in the guest rooms, there are four large baths, both of which fully enjoy the hot spring water of Tanigawa Onsen, which is free-flowing from the source. In 2023, a new private sauna was built. Once you have warmed up, please go to the Tanigawa River that flows right in front of you. This experience of cooling your body in the clear stream has gained a reputation as a sensation like no other.

For meals, private rooms are available in the dining room for each group of guests. Please take your time to enjoy our creative cuisine, which is a fusion of traditional techniques and the latest cooking technology, featuring Gunma Prefecture ingredients such as Joshu beef, along with Japanese sake and wine.

In 2012, it joined the Relais & Chateaux. It was awarded “Luxury Hideaway Resort” at the World Luxury Hotel Awards 2016. It has also obtained the Green Key eco-label. In addition, it is a highly acclaimed accommodation, both domestically and internationally. It has been nominated for the World Luxury Hotel Awards 2023 and the World Luxury Spa Awards 2023, and was selected for a Michelin Key in 2024. Senjuan continues to pursue world-class ryokan hospitality and top quality as a Japanese-style resort.

Minakami Town, where the ryokan is located, is an area certified as a UNESCO Eco-Park. Foreign guests are said to be surprised at the clean water of the Tanigawa River that runs beside the property. Many repeat guests come back again and again to experience the extraordinary space spread out in the rich nature and the comfortable hospitality.

Sora, known for its popular spa treatments, renewed its menu in the summer of 2024. You can experience treatments that make use of the richness of nature based on the Yin-Yang Five Elements philosophy. The unique and exquisite spa treatments offered by Senjuan, which provide healing and balance to the body and mind, will become unforgettable memories of your trip.

Bettei Senjuan is a ryokan for adults who understand the value of authenticity.
