Genmyoan
10/10 Exceptional - Based on 15 reviews
At the very top of a hill, Genmyoan stands as a haven of peace where the gaze is lost in the splendor of Amanohashidate and the marine horizon. The serenity of the public hot bath overlooking this iconic view invites soothing contemplation, while massages and the observation terrace promise moments of absolute relaxation. Every detail of the establishment evokes timeless elegance, with staff in kimono and decor blending tradition and refinement. Ideally located near the station thanks to a shuttle service, this ryokan in Miyazu invites you to immerse yourself in the very essence of Japan.
Restful and full of charm, the rooms open onto breathtaking panoramas through large bay windows. In a perfect balance between tradition and modernity, they combine tatami, futon beds, and all necessary comforts, such as a flat-screen TV and a mini-refrigerator. Some rooms offer the added luxury of a bathroom directly overlooking Amanohashidate, for moments of tranquility in complete privacy.
Genmyoan offers a refined culinary journey with traditional Japanese meals served directly in the rooms. The dishes, carefully prepared, highlight local flavors and the gastronomic richness of the region. Nearby, various cafes and restaurants, accessible on foot, complement this sensory experience by allowing further discovery of Miyazu’s culinary treasures.
