Traversing the green mountain veins of Shinshiro, Hazu Gassyo embodies a harmonious union between nature and tradition. This ryokan in Shinshiro opens onto a serene world where one reconnects with oneself. The outdoor baths radiate a soothing energy, while the garden and terrace cultivate a silent dialogue with the environment. Complemented by massages and caring service, these moments of well-being envelop every soul in gentle tranquility.
The rooms at Hazu Gassyo combine authenticity with delicate comfort. The charm of traditional Japanese style blends with modern convenience, offering an immersive experience with tatami and futons. Some rooms open onto outdoor bathtubs, where intimacy meets the raw beauty of the surrounding nature. Soft light and natural materials rhythm these spaces like an invitation to meditate in silence.
