8/10 Excellent - Based on 10 reviews
In the tranquil heart of Japan, Yumoto Konpira Onsen Hananoyu Kobaitei embodies a blend of elegance and authenticity, where time seems to stand still. This ryokan in Kotohira offers a complete immersion in the ancestral art of Japanese well-being, with its indoor and outdoor hot spring baths opening onto the soothing beauty of traditional gardens. Massages and private baths perfect this sensory retreat, while the outdoor pool and foot bath in summer invite you to recharge under the benevolent sky of Kagawa.
Harmoniously arranged, the Japanese-style rooms celebrate simplicity and elegance. Between the tatami mats, comfortable futons, and bay windows inviting natural light to embrace the spaces, each room is designed as a cocoon of serenity. Modern amenities, such as television and electric kettle, subtly blend with tradition to offer an uncompromising stay. Adorned with yukata kimonos, they welcome visitors in an intimate and refined atmosphere.
Food lovers and gourmets will find delight in traditional Kaiseki meals, served in the privacy of rooms or private dining rooms. The Umesenju restaurant offers authentic Japanese cuisine, while a warm bar promises to extend the evening on a convivial note. Just a few steps from the establishment, the local flavors of the surrounding restaurants enrich the culinary experience in this unique corner of Kotohira.
