7,7/10 Very Good - Based on 549 reviews
Land of harmony between tradition and modernity, this ryokan in Sumoto invites you to a unique sensory escape. With its large hot spring baths overlooking the ocean, it combines the serenity of Japanese spas with a variety of leisure facilities, such as karaoke or billiards. In the heart of the Amaterasu relaxation floor, a foot bath and aromatic massages transport you into a cocoon of well-being, and the outdoor pool enhances summer pleasures.
Between Japanese elegance and contemporary comfort, the rooms immerse you in a soothing atmosphere. The tatamis and futons connect you to the local heritage, while the options of Western beds adapt to all needs. Some rooms, with ocean views or private outdoor baths, are true havens of peace, all equipped to ensure a refined and authentic experience.
Lulled by local flavors, the Ikuri restaurant sublimates fresh seafood and carefully prepared multicourse specialties. Depending on the chosen formula, these Japanese feasts are served in dedicated spaces or directly in the room, accompanied by the delicate attention of a nakai. The surroundings are also full of restaurants, perfect for exploring the culinary richness of Sumoto with ease, after a day at the beach or a walk to the nearby castle.
Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Typically Japanese in its key elements such as tatamis and onsen, this ryokan, however, combines modern touches like game rooms and hybrid architecture. The authentic atmosphere of the rooms and the view of nature compensate for a culinary approach and baths that slightly lack elegance.
