Kansyokan
8,5/10 Excellent - Based on 640 reviews
In this haven nestled in the heart of the Mogami mountains, the design of the Kansyokan ryokan blends tradition and serenity with subtle elegance. Every corner seems conjured to soothe the soul, from the stone-lined open-air baths welcoming visitors into an enchanting steam, to the outdoor pool offering a panoramic view of the valley. Add to that an exceptional spa, where the whisper of hot springs accompanies treatments, and it promises a total escape for the mind and body.
Not far from the mysterious breath of the mountains, the rooms, bathed in natural light, welcome visitors into a refined universe with Japanese lines. Light wood floors, soothing tatamis, comfortable futons, and sometimes a private thermal bath: each space seems designed as a harmonious setting. Some rooms offer breathtaking views of the river or surrounding hills, inviting you to contemplate the moment in absolute peace.
Delight your senses with the delicious dishes served on-site, where breakfast combines a generous buffet, local specialties, and sun-kissed fruits. The ryokan’s café and bar invite you to extend the evenings in a soft ambiance, while the surroundings of Mogami harbor restaurants such as “すし海道” just a few kilometers away. This ryokan in Mogami is an ode to local gastronomy, where each meal becomes a celebration of flavors and the nature surrounding it.
