Hotel Wakamizu
8,2/10 Excellent - Based on 86 reviews
Nestled between tradition and modernity, the ryokan in Takarazuka invites you to a sensory journey at the heart of well-being. Baths fed by natural hot springs offer a soothing escape, while outdoor baths allow communion with nature. Bright spaces, bordered by large bay windows, let in a gentle light that caresses every corner, enveloping visitors in a serene atmosphere. Massage treatments and attentive services complete this harmony of absolute relaxation.
Generously spacious, the rooms adapt to the desires of each traveler. They display a style sometimes Japanese with their authentic tatami and futons, sometimes Western for those in search of sober and modern elegance. Each space is furnished with refined details like warm wooden chairs or breathtaking views of the city or surrounding nature, ensuring unparalleled comfort. Tea/coffee maker and modern amenities perfect the stay.
The awakening of the taste buds continues in the on-site restaurants where seasonal Japanese cuisine reveals all its treasures. The Sazanka restaurant seduces with its delicious creations, and menus can even be enjoyed in the privacy of the rooms. The proximity of culinary gems, such as Katmandu Curry and friendly cafes, adds an irresistible local touch. Each meal here becomes a celebration of flavors and terroir.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Well located, this ryokan offers appreciable traditional touches while integrating modern elements. The cuisine is refined with authentic presentation but could deepen its richness. The baths offer a pleasant view, although the facilities are sometimes simplified. The rooms, decorated simply, reflect a soothing ambiance.
