Bathed in a serene aura, the ryokan in Hiraizumi, Iris Yu, invites wandering souls to discover a sanctuary filled with tranquility. This haven of peace, with its peaceful garden and traditional facilities imbued with timeless charm, nourishes the body and spirit. Benefiting from amenities such as free Wi-Fi, soothing baths, and luggage storage, it offers a rare respite for those who seek deep relaxation in the heart of a region steeped in spiritual history.

Its Japanese-style rooms, adorned with tatamis and equipped with modern comforts, immerse travelers in a world of refined elegance. Whether you choose a shared or private bathroom, every detail is designed to honor Japanese hospitality. The soft futons promise peaceful nights, cradled by the gentle atmosphere of Hiraizumi, a true haven of serenity.

Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

5/10 Although the ryokan incorporates some traditional elements, the mix of modern styles and the simplicity of some areas reduce the immersion. The cuisine offers basic local dishes, and the baths, while accessible, lack the distinctive charm characteristic of authentic onsen. The rooms remain functional but without particular refinement.
