Aunsanbo
9,7/10 Exceptional - Based on 66 reviews
A timeless breath seems to inhabit this ryokan in Misakicho, where authenticity meets the serenity of the surrounding mountains. The rest areas open onto breathtaking landscapes, inviting deep meditation. In this Japanese sanctuary, wellness services, such as common lounges bathed in soothing light and a harmonious connection with nature, promise a regenerating experience, ideal for soothing the body and mind.
Meticulously designed, the rooms are an ode to the refined simplicity of Japanese style. The delicately woven tatamis, the unobstructed view of the mountains, and sober yet elegant furniture invite restful calm. Whether it’s a comfortable futon or a more contemporary setup, each space is designed to offer a cocoon where minimalism becomes poetry.
The place is enriched by a culinary experience at the Fuku Andon restaurant, where the union of Japanese and European cuisine celebrates flavors and traditions. For palates in search of local discoveries, the surroundings also offer popular establishments where quality and authenticity meet in a friendly atmosphere. A stay here is a sensory stroll through the very essence of Japanese culture.
