9,8/10 Exceptional - Based on 11 reviewsHyogo, Toyooka, Takenocho Takeno 5-15, Japon
Majestic in its simplicity, this ryokan in Toyooka seems suspended between land and sea, its traditional facade opening onto the soothing glow of the ocean. Every detail of its design harmonizes tradition and well-being: carefully arranged tatamis, soft light filtering through the shōji, and an atmosphere instilling a sense of absolute serenity. Here, time flows gently, at the rhythm of services designed for the comfort of souls in search of calm: free Wi-Fi connection, private parking, luggage service, and the soothing of a thermal bath that Japanese culture elevates to an art of living.
Touching in their authenticity, the rooms exude a minimalist charm, where each object, each texture tells a story. The futons placed on the tatamis invite you to reconnect with peaceful sleep, lulled by the gentle murmur of the sea. From the room, the view embraces sometimes the winding river, sometimes the peaceful shore, offering at each awakening a soothing canvas. Modern amenities such as flat-screen TV, kettle, and microwave blend harmoniously with traditions, ensuring a comfortable and balanced stay.
Masterfully located, the ryokan also includes a restaurant believing in the power of Asian flavors to enhance the experience. Connoisseurs will appreciate the care given to the menus, and the surroundings abound with small cafes and restaurants to explore, like invitations to extend the proximity to the sea and local culture.
