Neighborhood info

Chikusenso is nestled within Zao Quasi-National Park, a renowned mountainous region in the Tohoku area. This park, stretching approximately 40 kilometers, is composed of old and new volcanic formations. Here, you'll find stunning landscapes, including the towering Iwasaki Rock and breathtaking gorges. North Zao showcases ancient volcanic terrains, while Central Zao is home to the iconic volcanic lake, Okama, and magnificent waterfalls. South Zao boasts vast wetlands and the world-famous winter spectacle of snow monsters. Located near the starting point of Zao ECOLINE, a scenic road connecting Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures, Chikusenso is a popular base for exploring the beauty of Zao. Many guests drive here from nearby areas and even Tokyo to enjoy the stunning scenery and go hiking around Okama after breakfast. The hiking trail from Zao Onsen to Okama is featured in Lonely Planet's "Best Day Walks in Japan." Zao's ski resort is also listed as the one of the best ski destinations in Japan by Lonely Planet.
