Dining and Bar
Dinner at the Hotel Lucent will be an absolute highlight of your stay in Zao Onsen. At Hotel Lucent you definitely want to get dinner included in your accommodation package because the Japanese meals are exceptional. Some nights dinner is shabu shabu style whilst others the meal has 25 courses of the most delicately prepared food. The detail in preparation is amazing!
Breakfast is buffet style with a huge variety of Japanese and western-style cooked items as well as various cold foods.
The hotel has an on-site bar, the Pub Sunset. This is a very relaxing spot for a quiet drink, but don’t expect a huge party atmosphere unless you BYO crowd.
Why Stay at the Hotel Lucent?
Hotel Lucent Takamiya is a good choice for Zao Onsen accommodation for English speaking travellers because a few of the reception and concierge staff speak English. Elsewhere within the hotel you’d be lucky to find someone who speaks English, but this is nice as you know you’re in “real Japan”.
Ideally located and with comprehensive facilities, Hotel Lucent provides good sized rooms and plenty of friendly service. Best of all are the exquisite meals!
