Hotel New Momiji
7,5/10 Very Good - Based on 37 reviews
In the soothing wake of Japanese tradition, this enchanting ryokan in Nasushiobara reveals itself as a haven of authenticity and serenity. Nestled in the Shiobara Onsen-kyo district, it offers an immersion into the soul of Japan through its outdoor hot springs, saunas, and luxurious public bath. The fragrances of tranquility blend with the gentle sounds of the surrounding nature, while the attention to amenities for all, including those with reduced mobility, reflects an infinite care for the well-being of every visitor.
Graceful and varied, the rooms are an ode to functional elegance. Welcoming tatamis and inviting futons harmoniously align in Japanese-style rooms, while modern rooms combine Western refinement and Japanese simplicity. The views of the mountains and the river’s murmur bring an enchanting calm. Each room, whether equipped with a private or shared bathroom, invites a gentle and intimate retreat.
Culinary quest and refinement meet within this ryokan, where the restaurant offers Japanese, Chinese, and European cuisine, interspersed with subtle and gourmet dishes. Nearby, local gastronomy invites gourmets to explore the delights of Tochigi Prefecture, enriching the experience of a deeply memorable stay.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Decor blending tradition and modernity, with tatami rooms balanced but adjacent to contemporary furniture. Meals, although tasty, lack traditional sophistication. The onsen, well-maintained, offers a pleasant experience but without exceptional features. The overall atmosphere evokes Japan without achieving complete immersion.
