Oita Toranoyu
8,2/10 Excellent - Based on 98 reviews
In a natural setting where the mountains envelop the gaze, the ryokan in Kokonoe invites a precious moment of serenity. The architecture combines simplicity and refinement, with its clean lines and warm wood. The hot spring baths, both indoor and outdoor, transcend the moment to offer a haven of well-being. The whirlpool baths, surrounded by the peaceful breath of the mountains, call for tranquility and harmony.
Nestled in this peaceful setting, the rooms blend Japanese tradition with modern comfort. Their bright interiors honor the calm of natural wood and tatami mats. Some rooms offer a splendid view of the garden or a private outdoor spa bath, promising escape and intimacy. Whether it’s the plush futons or the carefully thought-out details, every element is designed to extend the softness of the stay.
To enhance the experience, the on-site restaurant offers a savory cuisine inspired by local products. Nearby, restaurants like Keiryu-no-aji Tanabe offer a discovery of regional gastronomy while remaining in harmony with the spirit of the place. The culinary richness, combined with the surrounding natural beauty, highlights the authenticity and timeless charm of this unique stop, where rejuvenation and delights meet.
Japanese Authenticity Rating
7.5/10 In a setting that combines traditional charm and modern touches, this ryokan offers a beautiful cultural immersion. Rooms with tatami and shōji exude authenticity, while the meals, although appealing, deserve a bit more refinement. The baths offer a pleasant experience, even if they remain discreet.
