Isawa View Hotel
7,2/10 Very Good - Based on 131 reviews
Borrowing a refined and soothing aesthetic, this ryokan in Fuefuki offers a unique immersion in Japanese serenity. The harmony between tradition and modernity is reflected in every space, where the thermal baths, whether public, outdoor, or hot spring, invite profound well-being. The meticulously landscaped gardens and the tranquility of the common areas reinforce this haven of peace, while services such as free Wi-Fi, private parking, and a 24-hour reception elevate the experience by ensuring comfort and convenience.
Oscillating between tradition and sophistication, the rooms stand as sanctuaries of rest. The tatami spaces, silky futons, and elegant details offer an authentic experience of Japanese hospitality. Each room has modern amenities, such as a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, a private bathroom, and even a safe, for a perfect symbiosis between traditional comfort and contemporary conveniences. The large windows let in soft light, accentuating the zen atmosphere unique to the place.
Between culinary tradition and gustatory surprises, the dining options offer an enriching variety. The three on-site restaurants are distinguished by their identity: Japanese cuisine in a traditional or modern setting, and even Italian cuisine for a cosmopolitan touch. Nearby, other gastronomic gems like the Jinbee restaurant or the starred Gaia offer varied options. Each meal becomes a celebration of the senses, adding a memorable dimension to your stay.
