Nestled between sea and mountain, Suigunnoyado embodies the authenticity and serenity of Japanese traditions. This ryokan in Ajigasawa welcomes its visitors in an atmosphere imbued with elegance and simplicity. With an outdoor thermal bath, a beneficial hot spring, and an enveloping sauna, every moment within this establishment becomes an ode to well-being. The carefully arranged garden invites contemplation, reinforcing this feeling of escape and tranquility.
The soft light of the Japanese-style rooms illuminates spaces where tatami and clean lines confer a soothing harmony. Air-conditioned and subtly decorated, these rooms offer a typical hospitality experience while integrating modern amenities. The carefully arranged futons allow for restful sleep, while the accessible facilities ensure everyone a comfortable and hassle-free stay.
Culinary art holds a special place at Suigunnoyado. The on-site restaurant, 『瀞蘭』, offers traditional dishes that celebrate local flavors with delicacy. Paired with refined teas and carefully selected sakes, these meals become moments of discovery and pleasure. If the desire to explore the surroundings arises, renowned restaurants like soba かふく亭 are only a short distance from the ryokan, further enriching the gastronomic experience.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Elegantly highlighted nature, sublimated local cuisines, and thermal spaces incorporating wood in harmony with Japanese culture. If a few modern touches are mixed with architectural traditionalism, the charm remains intact and permeates the details. This ryokan offers a refined, authentic experience but slightly adapted to contemporary comfort.
