Hotel Moc
7,9/10 Very Good - Based on 106 reviews
Echoing the serenity of the surrounding mountains, this ryokan in Myōkō offers a harmonious retreat where well-being is at the heart of the experience. The public baths invite you to a soothing immersion in warm waters, while the communal lounge, bathed in natural light, extends this atmosphere of relaxation. Ideally located, the establishment offers direct access to ski slopes and personalized solutions for ski enthusiasts, while ensuring the tranquility of an authentic setting.
Functional and imbued with Japanese simplicity, the rooms combine modernity and tradition. Some integrate tatami corners that invite meditation, while others offer breathtaking views of Myōkō’s changing landscapes. Perfect for hosting couples or families, they combine modern comfort with the warm essence of traditional ryokans, with options ranging from twin beds to traditional futons.
A place of culinary discovery, the Fuku Andon restaurant offers a harmonious fusion of Japanese and European cuisine, catering to different dietary requirements with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes. Just a few steps away, other local restaurants, like Samurai or Akakura Cafe, further enrich the experience by offering a wide variety of authentic flavors. Whether in the establishment or in the surroundings, each meal transforms into an ode to the terroir and tradition.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4/10 Bringing together modern spaces with a few Japanese touches, the establishment modestly evokes the spirit of a ryokan. The cuisine focuses on varied dishes but lacks authentic finesse. The baths are functional, without notable charm. The rooms, while clean, struggle to offer a deep cultural immersion. Ideal for a simple stay.
