Kohan-no-Yado Morimoto
8,9/10 Excellent - Based on 16 reviews
Cradled in the silent embrace of Lake Shibayamagata, the ryokan in Kaga “Kohan-no-Yado Morimoto” rises as a haven of elegance and serenity. Its architecture subtly blends Japanese tradition with modern nuances: rooms bathed in natural light, sleek lines enhanced by the warmth of wood, and soothing gardens that whisper to the soul. Here, the experience of thermal baths becomes an inner meditation, with outdoor onsen revealing the changing landscapes of the surrounding nature, a true ode to well-being.
Harmoniously designed, the rooms of this Kaga ryokan welcome guests into a cocoon of tranquility. The tatami floors, plush futons, and the soft hue of lanterns invite a sensory journey to the heart of traditional Japan. Some rooms offer stunning views of the lake, while others come with a private thermal bath, a personal bubble of respite, far from the worries of the outside world, to reconnect with oneself with the soothing murmur of water as the only company.
It was in the hushed silence of the communal dining room that Japanese culinary art comes to life. Kaiseki meals, meticulously crafted, highlight the seasonal treasures of the region. Those wishing to vary their culinary exploration can also discover the nearby typical restaurants, where authenticity and conviviality blend for a total immersion in the unique spirit of Kaga.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Refined and balanced, the atmosphere skillfully combines traditional elements like tatami with modern touches. The baths offer a soothing view but lack exceptional character. The cuisine is authentic and meticulous, illustrating a real respect for the seasons. The rooms exude serenity conducive to relaxation with elegant details.
