Hazu Gassyo
8,9/10 Excellent - Based on 14 reviews
Traversing the green mountain veins of Shinshiro, Hazu Gassyo embodies a harmonious union between nature and tradition. This ryokan in Shinshiro opens onto a serene world where one reconnects with oneself. The outdoor baths radiate a soothing energy, while the garden and terrace cultivate a silent dialogue with the environment. Complemented by massages and caring service, these moments of well-being envelop every soul in gentle tranquility.
The rooms at Hazu Gassyo combine authenticity with delicate comfort. The charm of traditional Japanese style blends with modern convenience, offering an immersive experience with tatami and futons. Some rooms open onto outdoor bathtubs, where intimacy meets the raw beauty of the surrounding nature. Soft light and natural materials rhythm these spaces like an invitation to meditate in silence.
The culinary journey begins within the establishment’s restaurants, notably with kaiseki meals, true works of art blending aesthetics and refined flavors. Local fabrics and ancestral techniques come together to evoke deep emotions. Nearby, cafes and bars allow for the extension of this sensory immersion, each becoming a stop where time seems suspended. Hazu Gassyo is much more than just a ryokan; it is a gateway to a peaceful and luminous interiority.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
9/10 Everything in this ryokan exudes a beautiful harmony between tradition and nature. The elegant rooms with tatami, the refined kaiseki cuisine, and the onsens with views of the forest make it a Japanese immersion. A subtle contemporary touch in the architecture remains discreet and well integrated.
