Kasuga Ryokan
7,2/10 Very Good - Based on 125 reviews
Quintessence of simplicity, the Kasuga Ryokan harmoniously blends Japanese tradition with modernity. Its warm interior features carefully arranged tatami mats, elegant low tables, and soothing decorative elements. Personalized service and massages available on request ensure an unforgettable wellness experience for travelers seeking tranquility.
Warm and welcoming, the rooms of the ryokan offer authentic comfort. Equipped with traditional futons and a minimalist layout, they invite relaxation. Air-conditioned, they also offer free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. The common areas, including shared bathrooms, are perfectly maintained and reflect typical Japanese care.
Culinary refinement awaits as the on-site restaurant offers Japanese cuisine with delicate flavors, ideal for completing a cultural immersion. Nearby, a myriad of small local establishments allow for exploration of other regional specialties, while enjoying the unique charm of downtown Hiroshima. The Kasuga Ryokan thus embodies the perfect balance between comfort, tradition, and discovery.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Although this ryokan offers beautiful tatami mats and modest touches of Japanese decoration, the overall ambiance is somewhat neglected. The absence of a true onsen and the lack of effort in the culinary experience reduce immersion. The whole, although functional, lacks refinement for an authentic cultural experience.
