Ryokan Kamomeso
7,2/10 Very good - Based on 35 reviews
Whispering serenity, Ryokan Kamomeso immerses itself in the harmony that characterizes Sado Island. Its hot springs, surrounded by stones and a soothing garden, offer a moment suspended between tradition and introspection. The hot water, filled with ancient calm, invites an inner journey, while the sauna and massage chairs extend this bodily and spiritual awakening. This ryokan in Sado transforms every moment into a communion with oneself and the surrounding nature.
Traveling to the heart of a Japanese-style room is to open oneself to a simplicity that soothes. The woven tatamis, the subtle scent of wood, and the carefully arranged futons create a sober and calming ambiance. Whether it is a room with a shared or private bathroom, each space is designed to promote tranquility and balance. The sliding paper doors let in a soft light, enhancing this return to the essential.
Echoing this authenticity, the establishment’s restaurant celebrates the gastronomic treasures of the region with delicate dishes centered on seafood. Breakfast and dinner re-enchant the senses in simple conviviality. And to vary the pleasures, nearby options, a few kilometers away, allow for further exploration of local flavors. A culinary experience that reinforces the unique soul of this ryokan and the island where it rests.
