7,3/10 Very Good - Based on 100 reviews
At the edge of a sea that seems to blend into the infinite horizon, this ryokan in Rausu embodies the harmony between Japanese tradition and modern well-being. LiVEMAX RESORT Shiretoko Sea Front invites relaxation with its facilities dedicated to serenity: a soothing sauna where warmth gently caresses the soul, and a setting bathed by the calm of coastal landscapes. With free Wi-Fi and private parking available, everything here is designed for a hassle-free getaway.
Nestled between tradition and comfort, the rooms reveal the essence of Japan, with tatami floors and futons. Some offer a panoramic view of the Sea of Okhotsk, enhanced by the changing light of the day. All accommodations are equipped with a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, while private bathrooms provide toiletries and bathrobes for a gentle stay. The diversity of rooms meets the needs of couples, families, or solo travelers, in an atmosphere imbued with elegance.
The on-site restaurant, “Kaizokutei,” celebrates Japanese cuisine with authentic and generous flavors, perfect for concluding a day of discoveries. Nearby, other options will delight lovers of local specialties, such as Shiretoko Shokudo, located a few kilometers away. This ryokan in Rausu promises a culinary getaway as much as a moment of fullness, in a setting filled with poetry.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 With architecture combining modern and Japanese elements, this ryokan offers a partial immersion. The rooms have tatamis but lack refinement. The baths, although present, remain simple. The cuisine seems correct but not sophisticated, which leaves something to be desired for a fully immersive experience.
