Zen Land will reopen the property under the new brand name “HOTEL ZEN SAUNA RESORT -Wakura-” (tentative name) in December.
The project involves taking over the former Hotel Jubankan building, which was damaged and forced to cease operations due to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, and reviving it under a new concept. The current plan is to use the first floor as a men-only sauna area, the second floor as a women-only sauna area plus a guest-only lounge and front desk, and the third through fifth floors as guest rooms. There will be 24 guest rooms in total, three of which will be sauna suites.
The facility will feature separate, fully equipped sauna areas for men and women, as well as a lounge exclusively for overnight guests, and will be designed to accommodate both overnight stays and day-use visitors. Meals will consist of time-specific recovery foods made with local ingredients from the Noto region.
The hotel will be operated as a wellness hub that collaborates rather than competes with existing facilities in Wakura Onsen, aiming to enhance the overall appeal of the Wakura Onsen hot spring area in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The total project cost is expected to be around 600 million yen, funded through a loan from Noto Kyoei Shinkin Bank and the company’s own capital.
Access: approximately 5 minutes by car from Wakura Onsen Station on the JR Nanao Line, and approximately 5 minutes by car from the Wakura Interchange (IC) on the Nōetsu Expressway.
