Entaijiso
7,8/10 Very Good - Based on 11 reviews
Set in the heart of the majestic Kurobe mountains, the Entaijiso Ryokan combines Japanese tradition with contemporary elegance, offering a retreat imbued with serenity. Its indoor and outdoor hot spring baths invite an unparalleled wellness break, where soothing waters blend with breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. With a harmonious atmosphere, between soft shadows and natural materials, this haven offers free Wi-Fi and parking, adding a touch of practicality to relaxation. The shuttle service from Unazuki Onsen Station also highlights the attentive hospitality of this ryokan in Kurobe.
Nestled on tatami floors, the air-conditioned rooms evoke the art of traditional Japanese living. Each space, subtly orchestrated with minimalist furniture, invites rest and introspection. The delicate and welcoming futon beds embrace the silence of the mountains, while modern amenities, such as a flat-screen TV or an electric kettle, enhance comfort. Some rooms offer views of verdant nature, making waking up here as enchanting as a living painting.
Both at Dining&Bar Cooliya, where Japanese and European flavors intertwine in a romantic and modern ambiance, and in the nearby surroundings, gastronomy attracts curious palates. Between refined dishes and elegantly mixed cocktails, each meal becomes a celebration of the region’s generosity. Nearby, other restaurants reinforce the promise of a culinary journey with a thousand flavors.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 In a peaceful setting, the ryokan carefully blends tradition and modernity. The rooms feature tatamis and offer a charming view. The onsen with a panorama of nature is remarkable, and the meals highlight local flavors. However, some more modern touches slightly lessen the authenticity.
