Hotel Kazuno
8,1/10 Excellent - Based on 58 reviews
Somewhere between sky and mountain, the ryokan in Kazuno unfolds as a sanctuary of elegance and serenity. Its hot springs glisten under the daylight, offering a soothing embrace to the soul. Here, time seems to suspend its flight, carried by the whisper of the garden and the beneficial glow of the sauna. In this haven of calm, you will find a perfect harmony between Japanese tradition and modern comfort, amplified by meticulously attentive service.
Just behind typical wooden and paper walls, the rooms embody an invitation to rest. From soft futons to spacious beds, each space reflects refined simplicity, with subtle contemporary touches. Whatever the option, each accommodation promises a cocoon of softness, with an intimate view of a natural or mountainous setting that inspires contemplation.
In terms of gastronomy, the Hana Goyomi restaurant delights with its traditional Japanese dishes, respecting local flavors and seasonality. A few steps away, other establishments extend this culinary experience, allowing each guest to be carried away by the abundance of Kazuno’s gourmet talents. One thing is certain: the treasures of this region are discovered as much in the plate as in the eye.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Some traditional elements appeal, such as natural baths and rooms with tatamis, but the modern integration and lack of typical culinary refinement diminish the authentic experience. The ambiance remains pleasant with a view of the surrounding nature, making the whole enjoyable but slightly westernized.
