Ito Kowakien
8,1/10 Excellent - Based on 738 reviews
Refined and deeply rooted in pure Japanese tradition, this ryokan in Itō invites you on a journey of serenity through its harmonious spaces. An outdoor pool glistens under the summer sun, while indoor and outdoor hot spring baths offer a soothing escape in any season. The traditional rooms, bathed in natural light and decorated with subtle taste, offer the authentic experience of tatami and futons, inviting relaxation and contemplation. Whether for a moment of relaxation in the thermal baths or a lively evening in the karaoke room, every corner of this establishment seems to whisper promises of escape.
Jewels of comfort and elegance, the rooms at Ito Kowakien combine traditional refinement with modern comfort. Some subtly blend Japanese style with futons placed on tatami floors, while others feature Western-style beds, always with a calming view of the mountains. Yukata robes, hot spring baths, and amenities such as a refrigerator or electric kettle, refine the stay, combining comfort and authenticity in a setting conducive to serenity.
Gastronomy and conviviality come together at the Ukifune restaurant, where refined Japanese cuisine is celebrated through sumptuous multi-course meals and a varied breakfast buffet. The surrounding area is also full of delicious options, with charming restaurants and cafes nestled in the town, perfectly complementing this enchanting picture of relaxation and discovery.
