Jodogahama Park Hotel
8,7/10 Excellent - Based on 259 reviews
Nestled between sea and mountains, this contemporary gem of Miyako charms with its sleek lines and architecture harmoniously blending with the surrounding nature. Large bay windows invite light to illuminate spaces designed for relaxation and well-being. The ryokan offers an open-air bath with breathtaking views, massage chairs, and a common area where serenity and modernity unite. Every detail celebrates a way of life in full communion with nature.
True cocoons of comfort, the rooms offer a minimalist aesthetic typical of traditional ryokans while integrating modern touches. With stunning views of the sea, forest, or mountains, they are equipped with futons on tatamis or modern beds, according to preference. The large bay windows transform nature into a living tableau. Each accommodation is adorned with soothing tones and offers everything needed for a stay combining serenity and refinement. It is the quintessence of the “ryokan in Miyako.”
In the two on-site restaurants, local flavors are reinvented in Japanese, Chinese, and European culinary creations. For a more informal moment, cafes and establishments such as “ラーメンショップ Aji-Q” or “丼の店 おいかわ” add their local touch to the culinary adventure. The richly stocked buffet breakfast rounds off an experience where gastronomy and authenticity meet.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Our impression highlights a successful balance between modernity and tradition. The rooms offer a typically Japanese ambiance with tatamis and a beautiful view, but some modern elements reduce the authenticity. The meal seems refined and meticulous, though slightly influenced by international touches. The presence of onsens adds to the charm.
