Proposing a New Way to Spend a Trip Connecting the Region Through Experiences

Wataya Bessou, which boasts a history of over 70 years since its founding, where the Ureshino River (Shiota River) flows through the center of the site and you can feel the transition of the four seasons. Under the concept of "from an inn to stay at to an inn to commute to," it proposes various experiences such as the "YohakuLab Soko-shitsu" (fragrance creation room), a program of "Ureshino Well-being" that multiplies the land, people, things, and events of Ureshino. You can taste one-of-a-kind experiences such as "Chako" at the Soejima-en Main Store Tea Room, which innovates tea and delivers it as a luxurious tea ceremony.
