Tsuruya Ryokan
7,3/10 Very good - Based on 4 reviews
Radiating with timeless serenity, Tsuruya Ryokan in Kotohira seems to be a sanctuary where peace of mind harmonizes with Japanese tradition. The public hot spring baths invite you to surrender to soothing comfort, while the massages offered deeply rejuvenate the soul and body. This enchanting place combines simplicity and refinement, offering travelers an escape from the daily hustle and bustle.
Pure and warm, the tatami rooms are a tribute to traditional architecture. The carefully arranged Japanese futons promise authentic and revitalizing rest. Some rooms, equipped with a semi-open-air bath, offer inspiring views, while modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi complete the blend of current comfort and old-world charm.
For culinary subtleties, the ryokan reveals two worlds of flavors. “Holiday Inn Dining” offers traditional Japanese meals in a family atmosphere, ideal for starting or ending the day gently. “Yamanomi,” on the other hand, surprises with a menu featuring pizzas, an unexpected fusion that enriches the culinary experience. All around, local restaurants, just a few steps away, offer an immersion in the authentic flavors of the region, enhancing the stay with an unforgettable culinary discovery.
