Hotel Gozensui
7,8/10 Very Good - Based on 430 reviews
Offering a haven of serenity by Lake Akan, this establishment exudes traditional elegance in the Japanese style. The wellness spaces, including indoor and outdoor thermal baths, invite sensory escape, cradled by the surrounding nature. Every moment spent here seems suspended in time, conducive to contemplation and absolute rest. The ryokan in Akankohan also offers activities such as karaoke or cultural visits to enrich the experience of its guests.
Nestled in the heart of this harmony, the rooms stand out for their intimate atmosphere with woven straw tatamis and comfortable futons. In some places, large bay windows encourage marveling at a breathtaking view of the peaceful lake or the surrounding mountains. All are equipped with modern comforts, including a private bathroom, a television, and practical amenities such as a kettle and a refrigerator.
To perfect the stay, two on-site restaurants celebrate Japanese gastronomy in a family setting. From breakfast to dinner, each meal is an opportunity to savor fresh products, enhanced by local know-how. Nearby, nearby restaurants and cafes offer a friendly alternative to vary culinary pleasures while exploring the charm of the Akankohan district.
Japanese Authenticity Assessment
5/10 Elements such as tatamis and well-integrated baths are noted, but their enhancement remains uneven. The overall ambiance includes quite marked modern touches, hindering immersion. The culinary offer seems correct but lacks refinement, and the onsen facilities do not impress with their uniqueness.
